Santōka Alarm is an iOS app that wakes you each morning with a single poem.
Set a poem you love as your alarm.
Far off, close by, somewhere in the depths, something is calling. Its form unseen, its name unspoken. Only the stretch of time spent tracing that voice with the ear becomes, just as it is, the poem.
