About LyricGlow
LyricGlow follows the track playing in the Spotify or Apple Music desktop app and shows time-synced lyrics in the menu bar or a floating window, highlighting each word karaoke-style. Lines can also be shown with a translation into another language.
It detects playback locally through Automation permissions but needs an internet connection to fetch lyrics and translations, which are then cached. Releases include separate Apple silicon and Intel disk images.
