SyncLyrics: Real-Time Synced Lyrics for Your HA Dashboard
Hey everyone! I’ve been working on this for over a year now (on and off) and finally polished it up enough that I wanted to share it.
What is it?
A free and open-source Windows app / Home Assistant addon that displays real-time synchronized lyrics on any device. Think Spotify lyrics, but on your tablet dashboard with multiple lyrics providers, album art backgrounds, playback controls, and more. It might run on Linux too, so I welcome anyone looking to test and give feedback.
Why I built it
I wanted lyrics on my desk tablet while working/jamming, but Spotify’s lyrics only work in the app and aren’t automatic. So I built this.
Once you get it up and running, it’s meant to run silently in the background at all times (an always-on server) and simply display lyrics whenever you start playing music.
Key Features
-
Home Assistant addon (one-click install) -
4 lyrics providers (Spotify, LRCLib, NetEase, QQ)
-
Shazam audio recognition -
Beautiful album art backgrounds and artist images -
Works on any device (tablets, phones, TV, any device with a web browser) -
Reaper DAW integration -
Lots of configuration options
There’s a ton of other features that might make this post too long haha.
Demo and Screens
Installation
Available via my addon repository with a full guide there: GitHub - AnshulJ999/homeassistant-addons: My personal HASS addons.
Or run from source.
The HASS Addon requires Spotify credentials (client ID and secret) to connect to their API.
Once you get this up and running, displaying it inside an HA dashboard as easy as putting the server URL in an iFrame card!
Feedback needed!
I’d love to hear what you think:
-
What features would you want added?
-
Any bugs or issues you encounter?
-
UI/UX suggestions?
-
Ideas for better HA integration?
I’m open to contributors and pull requests to help expand this further!
