Lyricise Floating Lyrics Window

A lightweight, customizable always-on-top Spotify lyrics window for macOS

Problem

Users love seeing Spotify lyrics while working, but existing popout windows are intrusive, ugly, or clunky, and there's no option that stays visible without stealing focus.

Solution

A native macOS menu-bar app: fetches lyrics for the currently playing Spotify track and displays them in a draggable, themable, always-on-top window. Supports click-through, font/color customization, and multi-monitor positioning.

Users

macOS users who work or study with Spotify playing, music fans who like to follow lyrics

MVP

Read current Spotify playback (AppleScript/Web API); fetch synced lyrics (e.g., LRCLIB); render in a borderless always-on-top window; adjust theme color, font size, opacity; click-through and position memory.

Revenue

Free basic version; one-time purchase to unlock themes, multi-window, hotkeys, custom lyric sources; list on Setapp and similar subscription channels.

Why now

Spotify's user base is huge but its native desktop lyrics experience is still weak; SwiftUI makes it easy for indie developers to ship polished macOS utilities quickly.
