Menu bar app for Spotify · macOS
Lyrify floats a small, time-synced lyrics overlay over whatever you're doing — it follows the song line by line, and follows you across every desktop and every fullscreen window.
Simulated — actual sync tracks real playback
Screen recording — the overlay running on a real Mac.
Side A
Every line is timed to the second. The current line is highlighted the moment it's sung, the next one waits dimmed just below — never a wall of static text.
Stays on top of every desktop Space and every fullscreen app or game — no more alt-tabbing back to Spotify just to see what's playing.
Shrink it down to a small now-playing card, or open it up to a full lyrics view — smooth the whole way, no flicker, no fixed size steps.
Real window behavior — drag, resize cursor, native close button, hover-revealed controls. Not a hacky floating box bolted onto the screen.
Getting started
Install
Download Lyrify and move it to Applications, like any Mac app.
Open once
It settles quietly into your menu bar — no dock icon, no clutter.
Play something
Hit play on any track in Spotify. The overlay appears on its own.
Make it yours
Drag it anywhere, resize it, or hide it with a click — it remembers.
macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Apple Silicon & Intel · requires Spotify installed
Download for macOSv0.3.0 · Free during early accessSigned ad-hoc, so the first launch needs one command: move Lyrify to Applications, then run xattr -cr /Applications/Lyrify.app in Terminal.
