Scarlet Lyrics in split screen next to Spotify, both showing The Three Ravens
Side by side with Spotify, which has this line as "fellow doe." Scarlet Lyrics shows the words as they were printed in 1611.
Scarlet Lyrics bringing forward the line being sung
The line being sung comes forward; the rest settle back as the song moves on.
Scarlet Lyrics settings screen
Settings: theme, saved lyrics, notification access, and nothing else.
  • Follows the song playing on your device and highlights the line being sung. Tap a line to jump the song there.
  • Timing a little off? Nudge it earlier or later, and it remembers.
  • "Wrong lyrics?" lets you pick a different match, and it sticks to that track.
  • Works in split screen next to your music app. Open it while Spotify is playing and Spotify comes up beside it.
  • A little of the album cover tints the background, taken from the art your music app already shares. Never downloaded, never saved.
  • If the connection drops, it tries again quietly, and the lyrics appear once you're back online.
  • Lyrics come from LRCLIB, a free and open lyrics library. That's the only place it connects to.
  • Reads only the song title, artist and position. Never your notifications. Keeps no listening history.

Song in the screenshots: "The Three Ravens," a traditional ballad first printed in 1611, sung by Cécile Corbel.
