What you can do with Lyric Connector

Listen on your phone, read on your desktop

Your iPhone keeps playing the music and handling audio. Lyric Connector reads track information and playback progress over Bluetooth using Apple Media Service, then independently finds lyrics on the desktop. No companion iPhone app is required.

Lyrics that fit your workspace

A floating overlay shows the previous, current, and next lyric lines. Adjust timing, font, colors, and background transparency; keep the window on top or enable click-through while you work.

Online lyrics or your own files

Find lyrics through LRCLIB for supported players, or import local LRC and TXT files. Basic playback controls send commands to the iPhone when supported by its music player. YouTube Music and Apple Music have been tested.

A QUICK START

How to use Lyric Connector

Open GitHub Releases and download the Windows x64 installer or complete portable ZIP. For the ZIP, extract the entire folder before running the app.
Pair your iPhone with Windows over Bluetooth, then open Lyric Connector and connect to the phone.
Start music in YouTube Music or Apple Music on your iPhone. Review lyric candidates or import a local LRC file.
Show the floating lyrics, adjust the timing and appearance, and use the available playback controls.

A few useful details

Requires Windows x64, .NET Framework 4.8 or later, Bluetooth LE, and a paired iPhone. Native macOS and Linux desktop apps are not available.
Lyric availability and accuracy depend on LRCLIB and the song version. Online searches send track metadata to that service; local LRC and TXT import is also available.
Player metadata and remote controls vary by iPhone music app. Bluetooth disconnections currently require manual reconnection.
Lyric timing follows LRC line timestamps. Progressive highlighting is estimated within a line, not word-level synchronization; plain TXT files have no timed lines.
Release packages are unsigned, and installation acceptance on a clean Windows environment is still pending. Use the installer or complete ZIP; the EXE alone also requires its configuration and resources.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few small questions.

Does this stream iPhone audio to Windows?

Lyric Connector reads media metadata and playback progress over Bluetooth. It does not capture the phone’s screen or audio; music continues playing through the iPhone’s selected audio output.

Do I need an app on my iPhone?

No companion app is required. Pair the iPhone with Windows and play music in a supported iPhone player.

Does it work with Apple Music and YouTube Music?

Both have been tested for track information, lyrics, and basic controls. The information and commands available depend on the player; other integrated players are still undergoing individual verification.

Can I use my own lyrics?

Yes. Import an LRC file for timed lines or a TXT file for plain lyrics. You can adjust the lyric timing offset when needed.

Where do I download Lyric Connector?

Use the Download for Windows link to open the project’s GitHub Releases. Choose the installer or full portable ZIP and check the release notes for current requirements and checksums.
