About

poem.day

Features
Read full description

A beautiful poem is waiting for you right now. Just open the app. That's literally the whole idea. One poem per day, presented on a clean, quiet screen that feels more like a page from a good book than an app. No feeds, no accounts, no subscriptions. You read, you close it, you get on with your day. The collection is 365 poems deep. Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, John Keats, Walt Whitman, Christina Rossetti, and dozens more. For Swedish readers, there's a full Svenska collection too; Karin Boye, Gustaf Fröding, Edith Södergran, and others. Pick your language on first open and switch whenever. Everything lives on your device. No internet needed after install. Read on the subway, on a plane, wherever. The typography is generous, the spacing is comfortable, and there's nothing competing for your attention. Honestly? It's an app that doesn't want anything from you. And that feels pretty good.
