Rhyma Closed Testing Is Now Live on Android
Rhyma’s Android closed test is open. Leave your Google email, get an invite, then install from Google Play and help shape the first public release.
Today, Rhyma takes its first real step outside our workshop: closed testing is now live on Android.
This is not the public Google Play launch yet. It is a smaller, earlier release for people who are happy to try unfinished things, notice the strange edges, and tell us where the experience sings — or trips over its own shoelaces. If that sounds like your kind of adventure, we would love to have you in the test.
A poem you cannot write alone
Rhyma is collaborative poetry with a little creative mischief built in. You see only the previous line, get roughly three minutes, and add the next one. Then the poem travels to another person. Nobody controls the whole thing, and nobody knows exactly where it is going.
When the final line lands, the complete poem opens for everyone who helped write it. Sometimes it rhymes. Sometimes it changes mood halfway through. Sometimes it becomes glorious nonsense. That unpredictability is the point.
Every line in Rhyma is written by a person. There are no bots composing verses and no language models quietly finishing the poem for you. Human-made, AI-free is not a campaign line for us; it is one of the rules of the game.
What you can test
The Android closed beta includes the main Rhyma journey from beginning to reveal. You can:
- sign in with Google and complete your profile;
- pick up an active poem and add a line before the timer expires;
- start a new poem with 4, 8, 12, or 16 lines;
- discover completed poems and see who created each twist;
- react, comment, reply, and share a finished poem;
- explore poem journeys, profile stats, and collectible rewards;
- receive updates when poems and conversations move forward.
Because this is a closed beta, some moments may still be rough. A screen may feel unclear. A notification may arrive late. A layout may behave differently on a particular Android device. Finding those moments now is exactly why the test exists.
How to join
Google’s closed test has one small gate: your Google account email has to be on our tester list first. Without that, the Play Store testing link simply will not open Rhyma for you.
Leave the Google email you use on your Android phone in the form on this page — or join via the early-access list on rhyma.app. We will add you to the list and send an invitation.
Once that invite arrives, open the Google Play testing page with the same account, choose to become a tester, and install Rhyma from the Play Store. Google Play may take a short moment to make the test build available after you opt in.
Once you are inside, write a line, start a poem, leave a reaction, and come back for the reveal. Using the app naturally is more useful than trying to break every screen on purpose.
If something breaks or feels harder than it should, send it through our beta feedback form. A short note with what happened, what you expected, and your Android device model is perfect.
Thank you for helping Rhyma move from a private idea toward a place where strangers can make something together, one line at a time.
