Synced lyrics for vinyl, cassettes, CDs & radioLive lyrics for whatever's spinning.
Put on a record, a mixtape, a CD, anything with a song in it. Tap Listen and Ondalume catches the tune out of the air, then lights up each lyric line the moment it's sung.
Built for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android.
Works with vinyl, cassette, CD, radio, and any speaker in the room.
Lyrics for your record player
Records don't come with a lyrics screen.
Streaming apps show you the words. A turntable doesn't. Ondalume is a synced-lyrics app for the music playing out loud in the room, so you can see the lyrics of the record you just flipped, line by line, as they're sung.

Put it on
Drop the needle, press play on the deck, turn up the radio. Ondalume listens through the microphone, so there's nothing to plug in or pair.
- 2
Tap Listen
It catches the tune out of the air: song, artist, and cover, with no typing and no searching. A playful "Catching the tune" keeps you company meanwhile.

Sing along
The line that's being sung right now lights up, and the lyrics roll with the record, line by line, until you tap Stop.
See lyrics while a record plays
Needle down. Words up.
The turntable plays, the phone listens. This is the Ondalume screen, state for state. Go ahead and tap it.
Quiet waters
Before a song is found: a modest tile, a short title, a hint, and the Listen button, kept together as one calm group. Tap the gear for Settings.
“Side B Summer” by Marlow Tide is a made-up song, lyrics and all.
Colour themes
Four moods. One tap.
Ondalume ships with four colour themes, each made for light and dark. Pick one here and this page and the phone above repaint at once, just like in the app's Settings. Light or dark follows your device.
Privacy: audio never leaves your phone
What it hears stays in the room.
Ondalume needs your microphone to do its one job, and that's all it uses it for.
Listens when you tap
Only after you tap Listen or use the voice shortcut, and only while the app is open. Never in the background.
Never records
Audio lives in short in-memory buffers and is let go. Nothing is saved or uploaded.
Thinks on the device
Singing detection, the audio sensors, and word checking all run on your phone.
Lyrics in memory only
Fetched from LRCLIB when needed and gone when the app closes.
No accounts, no ads
No sign-up, no analytics SDK, no ad identifiers, no location.
Remembers almost nothing
Your theme, a lyric timing offset, and a small counter for when to ask for a rating. None of it says what you heard or leaves your phone.
Put a record on. Sing every line.
Ondalume is free, with no account and no ads. Get it for iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Android.
