Spotify lyrics overlay apps

This cluster consists of desktop overlay apps that display synchronized Spotify lyrics with word highlighting. Their dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only one dated entry exists before the index start. Among traction signals, music-island leads with 5 stars, while Aria and Lyricora each have 1 star.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
