Boring Notch Lyrics

What It Is

A fork of Boring Notch that adds real-time synchronized lyrics display to the MacBook notch. The lyrics scroll automatically in sync with your music, turning the notch into a dynamic karaoke-style display.

The original Boring Notch transforms the MacBook notch into a music control center with visualizers and playback controls. My fork extends this with a complete lyrics subsystem featuring multiple display modes, per-monitor configuration, and timing adjustments.
