Fall asleep to poetry, beautifully read.
Put the day down. 159 hand-picked classic poems — Wordsworth to Millay — each recorded word-for-word in two warm voices. The line you're on lights up as it's read, and a gentle timer fades the reading out as you drift off.
The Poemlight film — forty seconds, sound on.
Beautifully made, down to the line
No feeds, no streaks to keep, nothing to scroll. Just a poem, a voice, and the quiet.
Follow every line
The line being read lights up. Follow along with your eyes — or close them and just listen.
Drift off gently
Sleep timer with a slow fade-out. Set 15 minutes, fall asleep mid-poem, never be jolted awake.
A poem a day

Word-for-word read-along
Every line lights up as it's spoken — real recordings, not robotic text-to-speech. Two warm voices, yours to choose.
