Feature
Synced song lyrics on your Mac
See what's playing and follow along with live, synced lyrics in a widget by your Dock — for Apple Music and Spotify. docktor's music widget is free and notarized for macOS 26.
Follow the words without leaving what you’re doing
Wanting the lyrics to the song you’re playing usually means tabbing into the music app or searching a lyrics site. docktor keeps them beside your Dock: the now-playing widget shows the track and artwork, and the synced lyrics scroll line by line in time with the music while you keep working.
Apple Music and Spotify, either way
docktor follows whatever’s playing — Apple Music or Spotify — and puts play, pause, and skip right in the widget. When a track has synced lyrics, they scroll along; when it doesn’t, you still get the now-playing card so the space is never dead.
One widget among several
The music widget shares the area by your Dock with docktor’s system stats, calendar, and weather — and the app also does live Dock previews and a window switcher. It’s all one free, notarized, native macOS 26 app rendered in Liquid Glass.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I see song lyrics on my Mac while music plays?
- Yes. docktor shows a now-playing widget beside your Dock with live, synced lyrics that scroll in time with the track — so you can follow along without opening the music app or a separate lyrics site.
- Does it work with Spotify and Apple Music?
- Both. docktor reads whatever is playing through Apple Music or Spotify and shows the track, artwork, and synced lyrics for it. Play/pause and skip are right there in the widget too.
- Do all songs have synced lyrics?
- Most popular tracks do, and those scroll line-by-line in time with the music. When a song has no synced lyrics available, docktor still shows the now-playing info — the track, artist, and artwork — so the widget stays useful.
- Is the music widget free?
- Yes. docktor is free and notarized by Apple, with no account or subscription. The music-and-lyrics widget comes with the rest of the app — Dock previews, a window switcher, and calendar, weather, and system-stats widgets.
