Description
Lyrcs is the single tool that empowers you to do what you do best - tell stories through music. Made for songwriters, by songwriters.
RHYME DICTIONARY
Gone are the days of opening a browser and checking rhymezone to find that perfect rhyme. Lyrcs contains a built in offline rhyme dictionary so results are shown to you in an instant.
RHYME HIGHLIGHTING
No need to keep track of which words rhyme at the end of a line, Lyrcs will do that for you. This allows you to instantly judge if maybe you've spent too much time on a single rhyme group.
RHYME LINKS
If you pronounce a word to sound like it rhymes with another word, use rhyme links to make them the same color.
SYLLABLE COUNTING
Have you ever needed to ensure a line in verse 2 matches the syllable count in verse 1? Gone are the days of manually counting on your fingers. Lyrcs provides instant syllable counting for every line in your lyrics.
DARK MODE SUPPORT
Do you ever find your song writing process goes late into the night but a blinding white text editor ends your session early? You won't experience that problem with Lyrcs. Lyrcs detects that you have dark mode enabled on your system and switches to colors that are easy on the eye.
DYNAMIC FONT SIZE
You may have written that great line but was it worth it if you spent the whole time squinting in pain? With Lyrcs that's a thing of the past. Just decrease/increase your font size using CMD,- or CMD,+ respectively.
SPELL CHECKING
Ready to submit your Lyrics to the world wide web but worried you may have misspelled a word or two? Have Lyrcs do the hard work for you and immediately check for any spelling mistakes and suggest any corrections.

Ratings and Reviews
It's Okay...
I have started using this app, and it is helpful because it keeps count of how many syllables you use. But, I think that this app needs different sections for different things. For example, there can be a section for the chorous, and a section for the pre-chorous. This is very helpful for me because I am very new to song-writing and I like it whenever the app kind of helps you by using sections. Whenever I opened up this app I realized that it did not have different sections and I felt like the app was just throwing me out there and not helping me at all.
Developer Response ,
Hey Writing Dragon, thanks so much for your review. So glad you’re loving the features like syllable counting! Being able to identify sections is also a great suggestion. Could you try writing the title of the section above your lines of lyrics? Given it’s a free app created to help out the song writing community, a 2 star review unfortunately doesn’t help foster that community. Could I ask that you reconsider the rating?
Delightful, Clean, Focused App
I feel like this may not be getting a fair shake, or maybe I'm on a curve as I'm just using it for poetry. This is an excellent, universal minimalist writing app with helpful syllable tracking and a nice break-glass-in-case-of-emergency rhyme dictionary. Hopping between the Mac and iPhone apps as I work out my poems has been an absolute pleasure. Thanks!
Developer Response ,
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to write some kind words! It’s encouraging reading reviews like this to know Lyrcs is on the right path of being a simple app to write lyrics and poetry. There are some new features upcoming but if there is something you find is lacking I’m very receptive to hearing and improving Lyrcs (you can reach out on the contact us page on https://lyrcs.app). Good luck in your poetry journey! 💪
A Real Mac App for Writing Lyrics
This app does exactly what it says, looks great, and does it while being a real Mac app. It's exactly what I wanted.
The only thing I would like to see added is a way to annotate sections and chords that gets ignored for the syllable counting and rhyming.
