Sometimes: A Poem Arrives
Poetry at Unexpected Moments
The best things arrive when you're not looking. Discover poetry that matches your moment, when you least expect it. The app considers time of day, weather, and season. A poetry app for iOS.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
The idea is simple: Poetry shouldn't live in a feed. It should find you. In a quiet moment. A rainy afternoon. The first light of morning.
"Sometimes:" sends you one poem at unexpected times, you never know exactly when. No infinite scroll. No engagement metrics. No accounts. Just: open, read, close.
How it works:
Set your time window (morning? evening? all day?)
Choose your pace (daily, weekly, or anywhere in between)
Then forget about it
The app watches the weather, time, and season. When conditions align, a poem arrives. All from the public domain. Dickinson, Frost, Whitman, Poe, Keats, Yeats.
Why I built this: Technology should enrich moments, not steal them. "Sometimes:" is my answer to the attention economy. It's designed to be closed, not to trap you.
It's free. If a poem arrives at the right moment, tips are welcome.
I'd love to hear what you think. What would make this meaningful for you?
Thanks for being here on launch day.
