Word timing
Supported tracks fill the active line as each word is sung. If a source runs early or late, global shortcuts nudge the timing without opening settings.
Synced desktop lyrics for Windows
Keep up with the song.
Hum puts the current lyric above whatever you are doing, styled more like a music player than a subtitle file.

Hum listens to Windows, not one music service.
The line stays put
Your eyes should not have to hunt.
The active lyric holds the same reading position and the same type size. Earlier and upcoming lines move around it, so you can follow the song without chasing the page up and down.
Two shapes, one reading position
Make room for lyrics, or let them disappear into the edge.
Square view gives the song a full visual stage. Ribbon view keeps a compact strip above your work, game, or stream controls. Switch between them from Hum settings.

Album art sets the room.
Blurred artwork, a fixed active line, nearby lyric context, track details, and progress in one resizable window.
Built-in OBS browser source
Put the lyric in the stream, not the whole window.
Hum serves a clean local browser source for OBS. Add the address once, style the overlay, and let Hum follow whatever is playing.
Keep the words where I can see them
The useful parts
Quiet when it should be. Precise when it matters.
Hum is a small desktop app, not another music platform. It follows playback, finds the lyrics, and stays out of the way until you need the next line.
Click-through modes
Move and resize the overlay in edit mode, lock it when the placement is right, or lower it into ghost mode when you only want a hint of the next line.
Readable over anything
Hum checks the surface behind the overlay and the colors in the album art, then changes lyric contrast when a bright background would wash the words out.
Track context
Album art, song details, progress, and the source sit close enough to answer "what is this?" without turning the overlay into a full music player.

Before you install
A few fair questions.
Which music players work with Hum?
Hum works with Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music and iTunes, VLC, Pandora, and most apps or browser tabs that publish playback information to Windows media controls.
Do I need to connect my Spotify account?
No. Hum reads the playback information Windows already has, so there is no Spotify login or separate player connection to maintain.
Can I use Hum in OBS?
Yes. Hum includes a local browser source made for OBS. It sends clean lyric text to OBS without capturing the desktop overlay itself.
Is Hum a subscription?
No. Hum costs $19 once. There is no monthly bill attached to the desktop license.
Does Hum work on macOS?
Not currently. Hum is built for Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Where do the synchronized lyrics come from?
Hum looks up time coded lyrics through LRCLib. It needs an internet connection when it searches for lyrics for a new track.
