Simple, accurate lyric timing for everyone.
OpenLyryc is a free, open-source tool for syncing lyrics to music. It runs directly inside your web browser, keeping your audio on your own machine.
Why OpenLyryc exists
Most tools for creating synchronized lyrics fall into two categories: clunky desktop programs written twenty years ago that crash unexpectedly, or closed commercial platforms that hide basic export features behind paid subscriptions.
Musicians, transcribers, translators, and karaoke hobbyists should not have to pay a monthly fee just to time words to an audio track. OpenLyryc was built to offer a clean, reliable, and accessible alternative that works right away in any modern browser.
Design principles
Your audio files never upload to our servers. The Web Audio API decodes audio locally in browser memory, so editing is instant and private.
Time down to the millisecond with keyboard shortcuts or visual waveforms. Adjust single words or full lines with zero lag.
Invite friends or team members to sync together in real time. We connect peers directly over WebRTC using conflict-free replicated data types.
No proprietary lock-in. Export your work immediately to standard formats supported by media players, Spotify, Apple Music, and karaoke engines.
