Step 1 of 20

Write what deserves to be written

Ilena helps you shape your lyrics, poems, and lyrical texts with more precision, rhythm, and inspiration.

A writing environment for people who take words seriously.

Find the more precise word, nine dictionaries look for it with you. Hear the music of a line more clearly. Explore an idea without losing your voice.

Your words stay yours

A guarantee of confidentiality for your works and your personal data.

Assistance, not a generation engine

Ilena does not seek to write a song or a poem in your place. It analyses, suggests, and leaves the decision to you: no suggestion enters your text without a gesture of yours.

Your texts belong to you

Ilena claims no ownership right over the texts you create or modify, and you can ask for your account and your data to be deleted at any time.

Never used to train a model

Your works are not made public. When a feature needs it, only fragments are transmitted, for the time it takes to produce the result, never to train a model, ours or a third party’s.

Encrypted at rest and in transit

Your works are encrypted where they sleep, and when they fly between your browser and Ilena.

We already know this address. Sign in and you will pick up exactly where you left off.

No wrong answers. Your answer helps Ilena adjust the tone of its suggestions: simpler, more exploratory, more technical, or more demanding.

I write mostly for pleasure, when inspiration comes
I write regularly and I would like to get better
Writing matters a great deal to me, and I am working on serious projects

Built for the creators of emotion

Ilena puts the pleasure of creating ahead of the pressure to produce.

It is a writing environment for lyricists, poets, and creators who care about shaping words, rewriting a line, finding a stronger image, hearing the rhythm of a phrase, and preserving their own voice.

Here, suggestions do not take over. They serve the text. And the text remains yours.

What themes do you like to explore in your writing?

In a few words, describe the subjects, emotions, images, or creative worlds that often come back in your writing. Your answer helps Ilena offer examples and suggestions that feel closer to your creative world.

Love, desire, heartbreak, and relationships
Identity, ambition, struggle, and self-overcoming
Revolt, injustice, society, and conflict
Roots, memories, everyday life, and belonging
Other, please specify

How would you describe your style?

Tell us about your writing color, sound world, or the atmosphere you like to create. Your answer helps Ilena keep your style in mind when offering ideas, images, rhythms, or phrasing suggestions.

Direct, energetic, and catchy
Dark, intense, and powerful
Honest, narrative, and close to lived experience
Rhythmic, vivid, and sharp
Other, describe your style

Syllables and emotion

Every line carries its syllable count in the margin, updated as you write.

The rhythm shows while you write.

Beside the count, Ilena names the emotion the line gives off. A line longer than its neighbours stands out at a glance from its margin. And the emotion named beside it says what the line does, not what it tells, enough to hear a verse collapsing before reading it aloud.

Two lines in Ilena, each with its syllable count in the margin — 12, 12 — and the emotion detected beside it: sadness, wonder

The scansion is not one algorithm translated: French, English and Spanish count their syllables by their own rules, and Ilena holds three.

Suggestions that understand your world

Your rhythm. Your rhyme. Your emotion. A suggestion that fits them.

This is not a sentence picked at random: every suggestion is built from your text and your context.

A suggestion that follows your writing, not the other way round. Ilena offers the continuation directly inside your line, keeping the stanza’s rhythm and the rhyme already set. Accept it with one key or simply carry on with your idea: nothing enters your text without your agreement.

Ilena takes your author profile, your project and the work in progress into account, to fit each suggestion to your context.

Word explorer

Stop looking only for a word that rhymes. Explore everything it can bring to your text.

A single word opens nine paths to explore, each fed by results actually found.

Ilena examines a word from nine angles: five rhyme categories, synonyms, antonyms, word families, homophones, idioms, figures of speech, lexical field and definition. So you can look for the right sound, enrich an image or build out a text’s whole world without leaving your writing.

Real results, never inflated. Ilena shows exactly what it finds, even when the answer is zero.

Ilena’s dictionary column: synonyms 8, antonyms 7, lexical field 15, family 4, rhymes 3, homophones 0, idioms 3, figures of speech 2

Catalogue and versions

Find every idea, every text, every version, instantly.

Every work is filed by its metadata, findable in seconds and kept with its whole history.

Your catalogue is organised and searched like a real library: by name, language, tag, emotion or period. And thanks to each work’s history, compare your versions side by side, follow how your text evolved and recover in a moment an idea you thought abandoned.

Search results in Ilena’s catalogue: five works with their emotions, tags, language and their creation and modification dates

Every idea deserves a second chance. Even the ones you deleted.
