Pear Desktop is an open-source desktop app for YouTube Music. Lyrimuse finds the lyrics for what it plays and shows them under the notch, in the menu bar or on the desktop.
With Accessibility permission, Lyrimuse presses Skip as soon as a skippable ad shows it. Ads aren't looked up for lyrics or scrobbled to Last.fm.
Turn on Pear Desktop's API Server plugin and click Allow once: the heart, shuffle, repeat and volume in the lyrics window work Pear Desktop's own, and the next songs in the queue have their lyrics ready.
The lyrics YouTube Music has for a song are among the candidates. Podcast episodes aren't treated as songs.
Lyrimuse doesn't need your Google account. Likes work when you're signed in to YouTube Music in Pear Desktop.
Everything else works the same in all twenty players: desktop lyrics, the capsule under the notch, the menu bar, the Touch Bar, the Lyrics Window, translations, pronunciations and Last.fm scrobbling. Try it on the home page
