Verse

Verse — lyrics in a pill.

A slim, draggable glass pill that floats above everything and sings the current line of whatever's playing. Click it and it unfurls into a karaoke card. Calm when idle, tiny when playing, beautiful when you want it.

A ball when idle Music off, Verse rests as a tiny glass dot with a music note, parked wherever you left it.

A pill when singing The current line glides through a slim capsule that hugs every lyric.

A card when you want more One click unfurls a glass karaoke card — three lines, a scrubber, and transport controls.

Features

Always on top, never in the way

Drag the pill anywhere and it stays there, floating over every app. Park it on the left or right screen edge, AssistiveTouch-style.

Click to unfurl

The pill opens into a glass karaoke card: three lyric lines, click any line to seek, plus a scrubber and transport controls.

Techie glass

Translucent black material with adjustable transparency. Album colors tint only the text — and echoes and ad-libs get their own soft italic styling.

Four animation themes

From expressive type-on and word spotlight to a minimal underline tracer — pick your energy.

9+ sources, zero setup

Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music (app or web), TIDAL, Deezer, Amazon Music, Plexamp and more — web players count only when they're really playing music.

Time-synced, cached offline

Lyrics come from LRCLIB's free, open catalog, matched to the exact track — and saved locally, so repeat plays work without a connection.
