Playback
Music plays. Lyrics stay.
As the music begins, lyrics naturally surface from the top of the screen.
This line deserves to be seen.
When music starts, lyrics naturally surface from the top of your screen. When playback ends, they fully retreat—always at the edge of your vision, never in the way of your work.
With music, it appears. With silence, it disappears.
No taskbar space. No extra window. It surfaces when music starts, retreats when playback pauses, and gently fades as your pointer approaches—giving the screen back to what matters.
Idle
No sound. Not around.
When nothing is playing, the lyrics retreat beyond the screen and your desktop returns to quiet.
Awareness
Move near. Work stays clear.
Wherever your pointer passes, the lyrics gently fade so the content beneath stays readable and clickable.
Try it yourself
Move. Switch. Play. Watch hover sway.
Switch between states and layouts to experience how lyrics surface, retreat, and move out of your way. Everything here runs as a browser demo and never connects to your player.
