Hey everyone! I built Lyric Overlay because I was tired of constantly switching to my music app just to check lyrics. I wanted something that just stays there on my screen clean, unobtrusive, and synced in real time. What makes it different: Works with any music app (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, VLC, etc.) not locked to one service Fully transparent, click-through overlay that never gets in the way Customizable colors, opacity, and positioning to match your setup It uses your system's native media session API, so there's no need to connect accounts or grant permissions it just detects what's playing automatically. Would love to hear your feedback and what features you'd want next!

What's great

custom layouts and overlays (1)

I love this app, im a music addict and hardcore gamer, so being able to see and learn the lyrics to the songs i like to annoy my friends by singing my heart out on calls is everything great about this. It's also highly customizable and really aesthetically pleasing compared to other lyric overlay apps. If you like music, check this one out.

What needs improvement

limited free version (2)

the free version is very limiting, with a 5 song daily limit, which is very annoying for people with little money.

vs Alternatives

its way better to look at and works way more seamlessly and has a nice design overall

What's great

It just works without fuss — no API keys or developer accounts needed, it auto-detects whatever's playing, and the always-on-top transparent overlay is genuinely useful for following along while doing something else on screen

What needs improvement

The free version's customization is fairly limited — more font/style options and longer lyric history would be nice without needing the paid tier. Also, since it relies on detecting "now playing" info from the OS, it occasionally misidentifies tracks with unusual title formatting.

vs Alternatives

I looked at a few open-source alternatives (like GitHub overlay projects) and Musixmatch's built-in floating lyrics feature, but they either required more setup/API keys or weren't as polished visually.
