Is there a lyric app for singers?
Yes — and it’s called audioCue.
If you're a singer who performs with backing tracks or plays solo gigs, remembering every lyric in every song can be harder than it sounds. audioCue was built to solve that problem by displaying your lyrics on screen while your backing tracks play.
I built audioCue for my own gigs because I needed a simple way to run backing tracks while having a clear prompt for the lyrics and chords. If you've been using VLC player or some other audio player for sound while fingering a text document on your phone, I feel your pain. This is why I made audioCue.
You get perfectly timed lyrics playing along with your backing track, on EVERY device you have.
audioCue runs on Windows, Mac, Android and iPad devices, so you can use it on laptops, tablets or desktop computers. Once your songs are loaded, you can run your entire set from a single screen.

What Makes audioCue Different from Other Lyric Apps?
Most lyric apps act like teleprompters where you manually scroll the text. audioCue works differently. Your lyrics are linked to the backing track so they move in time with the music, giving you a clear cue during rehearsals and live performances.
This makes it particularly useful for solo singers, duos and small bands who rely on backing tracks during gigs.

Lyrics App Designed for Real Live Performances
audioCue was designed with real gigs in mind. When I perform at pubs or rehearsals, I run my backing tracks through a mixer while audioCue displays the lyrics on a screen in front of me. A small Bluetooth keyboard lets me control the songs without touching the laptop.
The system can also run across multiple displays, which means other musicians can see lyrics or cues if needed.
Because everything runs locally on your device, audioCue is stable and reliable during live performances — no internet connection required.
