Why Poets Love Minimal Editors

Poetry is about precision—every word matters. Traditional word processors with toolbars and formatting menus distract from the careful word choice that poetry requires.

Hearth gives you a blank canvas where only your words appear. No clutter, no distractions—just you and the poem.

Daily Poetry Practice

Great poets write regularly. Build a daily poetry practice with streak tracking and gentle reminders.

Write for just 15 minutes each day. Some days you'll craft a complete poem. Other days you'll explore phrases and images. Both count as practice.

Organize Collections

Create projects for poetry collections or chapbooks. Use folders to organize:

Completed poems
Drafts in progress
Different themes or series
Form experiments (sonnets, haiku, free verse)
Prompt responses

Version History for Revisions

Poetry often requires multiple revisions. Version history saves every draft, so you can compare different versions and restore earlier iterations.

Try a completely different ending. Don't like it? The original is one click away.

AI for Word Suggestions

Searching for the perfect word? AI tab-complete can suggest possibilities. You maintain full creative control—accept suggestions that spark ideas, ignore the rest.

Share Your Work

Share individual poems or collections with mentors, workshop groups, or readers. Collect feedback to refine your craft.

Perfect for All Poetry Forms

Whether you write:

Free verse
Formal poetry (sonnets, villanelles, sestinas)
Haiku and tanka
Prose poetry
Experimental forms

Hearth's minimal interface adapts to your style.

Beautiful Typography

Choose from 10 preset themes or customize colors to create an environment that inspires your work.
