Lyrimuse is an open-source desktop lyrics app for macOS. It lives in the menu bar and highlights lyrics word by word as the song plays: floating always on top of your windows, in the menu bar, in a Dynamic-Island-style capsule under the notch, on the Touch Bar, or in a full lyrics window. It works with twenty players, including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and the YouTube Music app Kaset, plus web players in your browser, and picks the best match from fifteen lyrics sources, with translation and romanization when you want them. It also keeps a Last.fm listening profile and scrobbles your plays.

Coming from LyricsX? It hasn't had a new release since April 2022. Lyrimuse covers what it did, keeps getting updates, and adds support for Chinese-language players, KKBOX, Amazon Music, Kaset, Pear Desktop, reAMP, Pine Player, foobar2000, Plexamp, MyGo Music, WeRead and web players. For the details, see the fact-checked comparison with LyricsX and Lyric Fever.

Install with Homebrew, on Apple Silicon or Intel. It also clears the first-launch Gatekeeper warning for you. Prefer to download it yourself? Grab the latest release and see Getting Started.
