# lyriic

> lyriic is a local-first web editor for writing poetry and lyrics in meter, with per-line syllable counts, optional meter rulers, and quiet rhyme/synonym helpers.

lyriic runs entirely in the browser at https://lyriic.com. Drafts stay on-device; there is no account or cloud sync. Syllable counts default to a fused US pronunciation dictionary; users can override ambiguous words per draft. lyriic is not a generative AI lyric writer.
