Local Poet

AI Lyric Writing Companion

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad

Local Poet is your personal AI songwriting companion. Create a custom "local poet" for each project—an AI partner that learns your style and helps you craft lyrics your way. SIX CREATIVE WORKSHOPS Exchange – Write a line, your local poet writes the next. Build momentum through creative call-and-response. Visual Response – A picture appears. Write what you see, feel, and hear. Turn imagery into verse. Prompt – Draw inspiration from curated literary sources. Let great writing spark your own. Plan B – Stuck? Morph your lyrics with tools like Flip It, Chorus Lift, Bridge the Gap, and Plot Twist. Threes – Build a triptych frame and construct lyrics from three connected ideas. Rhyme – Find perfect rhymes, slant rhymes, and internal rhymes to sharpen your wordplay. YOUR LYRIC BASKET Every line you love goes into your lyric basket. When you're ready, build a song from your collected pieces—manually or with AI assistance. Iterate through versions until your lyrics feel right. EXPORT YOUR WAY Generate an AI music prompt based on your finished lyrics to use with your favorite music generation tools. Or export to PDF for traditional songwriting workflows. SAVE YOUR LOCAL POETS Each project creates a unique local poet you can save and return to. Build a collection of creative partners for different moods, genres, and projects. --- Subscription Options: • Monthly: $3.99/month • Annual: $29.99/year (save 37%) • 7-day free trial included Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
