AI Haiku

A fresh haiku several times a day — written to a strict 5-7-5, with a season word and a quiet turn. Read today's, browse the whole archive, and keep the ones you love.

A new haiku, several times a day.

AI Haiku writes a fresh three-line poem a few times each day — five syllables, then seven, then five — each with a season word and a quiet cut between two images. Open the app and today's poem is waiting on a clean page, with nothing else to do but read it.

• READ — the latest poem, full-bleed and calm. Swipe back through the most recent ones. • BROWSE — the whole archive laid out as a year calendar. Tap any day to read what appeared. • SEARCH — find poems by a word, a season, or a season-word (kigo). • SAVE — star the ones that stay with you. Your saved poems live only on your device. • NOTICE — turn on a gentle notification and get a nudge each time a new poem is published. • HOME SCREEN — add a widget to keep the latest, or a favorite, in view. • OFFLINE — poems are cached, so the app opens and reads without a signal.

How the poems are made Every haiku is written fresh by AI, working to a strict brief: three lines of five, seven and five syllables, one concrete image rather than a statement, a seasonal anchor, and a cut the reader closes themselves. Each poem is checked against its syllable count before it is published. Nothing is edited by hand afterward, and nothing is ever removed — the archive keeps them all, filed by the day they appeared.

Free, and quiet about it AI Haiku is free to read. The front page is only ever the poem; a single, clearly labelled advertisement appears once you browse deeper, on the archive and individual poems. We don't collect your name or email, and your saved poems and settings stay on your device. Read our privacy policy at nearmiss.dev/privacy.
