About Chronograph

Chronograph is an open-source application designed for accurately syncing lyrics
with audio timestamps.

You may notice that many of music players support synced lyrics which are
highlighted line-by-line or word-by-word while playing? This app was designed to
give the community an ability to be the ones who make these lyrics.

Chronograph directly supports publishing to LRCLib. As many FOSS music players
use LRCLib to fetch synchronized lyrics, this integration allows users to easily
contribute their work back to the open-source community.

If you have a large base of music and just want to download lyrics for all of it,
Chronograph also supports mass lyrics downloading. It will try to find lyrics for each
of your track on LRClib and save it depending on your settings.

Syncing Modes

• Line-by-Line (Primary): Here, every time you do sync action, timestamp is placed
for the whole line of lyrics. This is the most supported format of synced lyrics.

• Word-by-Word (Advanced): Designed for true karaoke quality. It places a
timestamp for every single word, enabling players to animate lyrics with precision.

Supported Formats

• OGG

• FLAC

• MP3

• M4A

• OPUS

• WAV

• AAC (reduced functionality)

Release info New Release on Jan 22, 2026
Release notes New Library approach: Previously, Chronograph has manipulated different
directories user stores files in. Now we move from this approach to new Library.
You select a folder in which you want to create a new library, then import files
in it, and Chronograph then uses this Library and its files.

New Chronograph's own lyric format Chronie. Its main goal to be compatible with every
other format Chronograph supports. Since barely all formats use Line-by-line or
Word-by-word syncing and either only start or both start and end timestamps, Chronie
combines all these approaches and store ALL of them simultaniously. Chronie can be
converted to any lyric format and then exported, at the same time, it is exportable
itself.

Since most of the users, I guess would only use one library, it has tags you
can assign to a track in a Library. Sidebar, which previously stored saved
locations (directories) now stores tags and allow fast filtering among them.

These are removed: List View mode, all files related settings.

Don't forget to check Preferences after the update, since many changes were
made to the app schema

New features

• Ability to sort by Title, Artist and Album both A-Z and Z-A

• Sorting based on file import time

Bug fixes

• File's default filename now built as {artist} - {title}.lrc

• Exporting to file now always uses .lrc suffix
