[Desktop App] Lyric Overlay — live-synced lyrics overlay for gaming, coding, and multitasking (Windows/macOS)

Hey! I built a desktop app that shows real-time synced lyrics as a floating always-on-top window while you game, code, or work.

The problem: Spotify, Apple Music, etc. have lyrics but they only show inside their own app. If you're fullscreen gaming or deep in your IDE, you have to alt-tab just to see what's playing.

Lyric Overlay sits on top of everything fullscreen games, browsers, code editors — and shows lyrics scrolling in sync with your music.

What it does:

  • Live-synced lyrics from any music player (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, VLC, etc.)

  • Always-on-top floating window

  • Customizable font, size, opacity, and position

  • Import your own .lrc files for unsupported songs

  • Lightweight — no FPS impact while gaming

  • Windows 10/11 + macOS 11+

Looking for feedback on:

  • Overall UX and first impressions
  • Song detection accuracy across different music apps
  • Any bugs or weird behavior on your setup
  • Feature requests what would make this a must-have for you?
