Verci puts word-by-word lyrics on your Mac lock screen

Field notes

The app operates as a menu bar utility rather than a conventional windowed player. Its lyric renderer uses per-word timings and offers four treatments, including a drifting three-dimensional wall and a Metal lens shader; the Visual mode pairs words with roughly 770 mapped symbols or emoji. Users can manually set lyric, highlight, and secondary colors, or have the palette follow the playing album’s artwork.
