Wake up to haiku — free-verse poems read aloud each morning
9 followers
Most alarms jolt you awake. Santoka Alarm greets you with a haiku. Every morning, a poem by Taneda Santoka (1882–1940) — Japan's wandering free-verse haiku master — is read aloud as your alarm. His poems about walking, water, grass, and solitude are strangely perfect for the first moment of your day. • 701 haiku, one for each morning • Natural voice narration • Built with AlarmKit — works as a real alarm, even in silent mode • Buy once, no subscription Wake up gently. Start with poetry.
love this idea honestly, haiku mornings sound way better than my usual screech. one thing i'd suggest is letting users pick a favorite poet or even upload their own short poem to be read occasionally, kind of like a custom haiku slot for when santoka's mood isn't quite right for the day.
Love the Santoka idea, super charming way to start the day. One suggestion: let users pick a theme like rain, autumn, or dawn, and the haiku selection filters to match, so the poem feels tied to the season or my mood instead of being random.
Woke up to a quiet voice reading about water and grass, and somehow it made my morning feel less rushed. Love that it actually fires in silent mode too.
The choice to pair Santoka's wandering haiku with a real alarm that works in silent mode is really thoughtful, his quiet imagery about grass and water feels like a gentle hand on your shoulder instead of a blaring siren.
waking up to a quiet haiku about grass and water actually felt really nice, way better than the usual jolt. the narration sounds calm and human, not robotic.
