Chorus

Sing along to your music

Chorus watches whatever media player is running on your system and shows synced or plain lyrics for the current track, no matter which app you're using*.

Features

• Follows any music player automatically, or lets you pick one manually
• Synced lyrics scroll and highlight the current line as the song plays
• Click any line to seek directly to it
• Blurred cover art as a live background

Recommended players

Chorus works with any MPRIS-compatible player, but not all players implement MPRIS equally well.
