About Peekabop
What is Peekabop?
Peekabop is a karaoke menu bar app for macOS. It shows lyrics word by word in time across four displays: Pill, Notch, Subtitles, and Stage.
What Peekabop does
The app detects music playing in Spotify, Apple Music, or browsers such as Safari, Chrome, Arc, and Firefox. It retrieves lyrics from lrc.red and LRCLIB, matched by title, artist, album, and length. For music videos, Peekabop uses on-device speech recognition to align lyrics to video audio. It includes sixteen effects such as Bouncing ball and Neon, menu bar controls, and keeps audio on the Mac without touching the microphone.
