Floating Lyrics
Stays on top. Stays out of the way.
A slim lyrics bar that floats above every app, even in full screen. Lock it and your clicks pass right through.
Dynamic Lyrics for Mac
Every word.
Right where you work.
Live, synced lyrics for Apple Music and Spotify. Floating above your apps, in the notch, and in the menu bar.
Hover over the notch to open the player.
Get the highlights.
Lyric Capsule
A Dynamic Island for your Mac.
The current line grows out of the notch. Hover to reveal the player, the artwork and the lines around it.
Menu Bar
The lyric, up where the clock is.
One glance at the top of the screen and you have the line.
Translation
Understand every line in 26 languages.
The translation sits right under the original, in time with the song.
Apple Music & Spotify
Press play. That's the setup.
Dynamic Lyrics follows both players automatically. No account, no sign-in.
Floating Lyrics
Lyrics that float above everything.
Write, design, code or browse. The floating lyrics window sits above every app on your Mac, synced line by line, so the words are there the moment you look up.
Player: artwork, controls and lyrics, always visible.
Three ways to float.
Reveal keeps only the words and shows controls on hover. Player keeps artwork and controls in view. Lyrics shows nothing but the song.
Click right through it.
Lock Floating Lyrics and it ignores the mouse, so the window under it keeps working as if the lyrics weren't there.
Gone when the music stops.
Hide it automatically on pause, show the next line underneath, and bring it back with ⇧⌘L.
Lyric Capsule
Your notch, now with lyrics.
The capsule grows out of the MacBook notch with the line you're hearing. Hover over it and it opens into a full player with artwork, controls and the lyrics around it. It's the Dynamic Island, on your Mac.
The current line, with the next one beneath it.
Hover or tap the capsule to expand it.
Sized to the hardware.
The capsule is measured from your Mac's actual notch, and retracts back into it when you're done.
No notch? No problem.
On an external display or a Mac without a notch, the capsule appears in the same spot at the top of the screen.
One shortcut away.
Show or hide it with ⇧⌘C, and let it step aside automatically whenever playback is paused.
Lyrics Window
Big, beautiful, and in perfect time.
When the music deserves the whole screen. Large type from 22 to 72 points, the album artwork washed across the background, and every line rising exactly when it's sung.
Afterglow AvenueMara Vale
Free, forever.
The lyrics window is included with the free download, with no time limit.
Reads the way you do.
Center the lyrics or align them to the edge. Right-to-left songs keep their own reading direction.
Honest when it can't find a match.
If a song has no synced lyrics, Dynamic Lyrics says so instead of guessing with the wrong words.
Lyrics Translation
Sing it. Then understand it.
Turn on translation and each line appears with its meaning right underneath, moving in time with the music. K-pop, reggaeton, chanson, J-rock: finally know what you've been singing.
Translate into Afrikaans, Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hindi, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Malay, Mongolian, Nepali, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese. Toggle it any time with ⇧⌘T.
Made for the Mac
In time. Under your fingertips.
Built natively with SwiftUI and AppKit, Dynamic Lyrics behaves like it came with your Mac: keyboard shortcuts, Open at Login, and an interface in 11 languages.
Timing, fixed in a flick.
If a recording runs early or late, slide the lyrics until they land on the vocal. Tenth-of-a-second steps, up to five seconds either way.

Questions? Answers.
How do I see Spotify lyrics on my Mac?
Install Dynamic Lyrics, open it, and press play in the Spotify app. The lyrics follow the song automatically in the lyrics window, and with Dynamic Pro they can float above your other apps, appear in the MacBook notch or scroll through your menu bar.
See the full guide: How to see Spotify lyrics on Mac.
Does it work with Apple Music on Mac?
Yes. Dynamic Lyrics follows the Music app and Spotify at the same time and switches to whichever one is playing. It reads what you are already listening to with your own subscription and never plays or stores audio itself.
More in Apple Music lyrics on Mac.
Can I keep lyrics on top of other windows?
Yes. Floating Lyrics stays above every app, including full-screen ones. Choose Reveal, Player or Lyrics style, lock it so clicks pass straight through, and hide it automatically when the music pauses.
Do I need a MacBook with a notch for the Lyric Capsule?
No. On a MacBook with a notch the capsule grows out of it like a Dynamic Island for Mac. On an external display or a Mac without a notch, it appears in the same place at the top of the screen.
How do I show lyrics in the Mac menu bar?
Open Settings, choose Menu Bar and turn on Show current lyric. You can set how many characters it shows, from 12 to 48, so it fits alongside your other menu bar items.
Can Dynamic Lyrics translate lyrics?
Yes. Turn on Translate lyrics, or press ⇧⌘T, and each line shows its translation underneath in one of 26 languages. The original lyrics stay visible whenever a translation is not available.
The lyrics are slightly early or late. Can I fix it?
Yes. Use the timing dial next to the lyrics, or press ⌥⌘[ and ⌥⌘] to move them earlier or later in tenth-of-a-second steps, up to five seconds either way.
Is Dynamic Lyrics free?
The download is free and the lyrics window is free to use. Dynamic Pro adds Floating Lyrics, the Lyric Capsule, the menu bar and translation, and is available monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase.
Which Macs are supported?
Any Mac running macOS 14.6 Sonoma or later, with Apple silicon or an Intel processor.
Why does macOS ask for permission to control Music and Spotify?
macOS asks before any app can read the current song from another app. Dynamic Lyrics needs it to know what is playing and where you are in the song, and to power its play, pause and skip buttons. Choose OK when asked.
If you declined earlier, open System Settings › Privacy & Security › Automation, and turn on Music and Spotify under Dynamic Lyrics.
What data does Dynamic Lyrics collect?
Only the song title and artist are sent, to find the matching lyrics. There is no account, no listening history is kept on a server, and there are no advertising or analytics SDKs.
Hear it. See it. Sing it.
