Features & How to Use
Everything you need to
find & display lyrics.
LyriGhost is a real-time lyrics overlay and lyrics finder for Windows — designed to show synced song lyrics directly on your screen while you game, work, or browse, with zero interruption.

How LyriGhost finds your lyrics
01
Install the LyriGhost Chrome extension. It monitors YouTube Music or Spotify in your browser and detects the currently playing song.
02
Launch the LyriGhost app. It receives the song info from the extension and automatically searches for synced lyrics via lrclib.net.
03
Lyrics appear as a transparent overlay on your screen — synchronized to the song, line by line, in real time.
🎵
Real-time synced lyrics display
LyriGhost doesn't just find lyrics — it times them. Each line highlights exactly when it's sung, so you always know where you are in the song. If the timing feels slightly off, use the ±0.5s sync adjustment buttons to fine-tune it manually. Your adjustment is saved per song.
👻
True game overlay
The lyrics window is click-through — your mouse clicks pass straight through it to the game beneath. It never steals focus, never pauses your game, and never pops up a notification. It simply sits there, showing lyrics, invisibly.
🖥️
Transparent mode
In transparent mode, the app background disappears entirely — only the lyrics text is visible on screen. To toggle transparent mode off, right-click the LyriGhost icon in the system tray (bottom-right of your taskbar) and select "Exit Transparent Mode".
🔍
Manual lyrics search
Can't find lyrics automatically? Use the manual search button inside the app to search by song title and artist name. LyriGhost will look up the closest matching synced lyrics from its database.
