Night shift

At 3am the city belongs to different people. The cleaners who go into office buildings and return them to order.

midnight

With sharpened teeth, with an acidic tongue They ate me. I became invisible. My shell vanished. My skin flew away.

Questions

Good to know

The newsletter

One email a month: selections, new in the catalogue, Loëly news.

Is Loëly free?

Yes. The Essentiel plan is free, with ads. Complet (€1.99/month or €17.99/year) and Intégral (€3.99/month or €34.99/year) reduce or remove ads, unlock offline reading in the app and other features. The price shown at checkout may vary by country.

Can I read without an account?

On loely.io, yes: poems, poet pages, selections, articles and events are freely accessible. An account is needed to like, comment, follow someone, create a readlist or write. In the app, an account is required. It's free and takes less than a minute.

Is there an algorithm choosing for me?

No. Your feed mixes classic poems and community poems according to the tags you chose, in chronological or random order. No opaque algorithm: what you see depends on your choices.

Can I publish my own poems?

Yes. The editor offers a Simple mode, a blank page without distraction, and a Canvas mode where you place your text freely, with backgrounds, fonts and colours. You can publish up to 3 poems a day on Essentiel, 6 on Complet, 10 on Intégral. A published poem is visible to everyone, a draft only to you.

Does Loëly work offline?

In the app only, for Complet (up to 100 poems) and Intégral (up to 200) subscribers. Download a poem from its menu: without a connection, it's waiting in "My downloaded poems".
