Lyrcs: Write Lyrics Poetry Rap

Hey, really like where you are going with this. Love the syllable count along left margin, and the way you don’t highlight all prospective rhymes or interesting word combinations like Rhymer’s Block does. I also like that all rhymes are different colors. Presumably phonetic rhymes occur across song sections? Would be cool. A few changes to make it ready for me to buy: 1) move the rhyme list over to the right side of the screen so it doesn’t obscure the lyrics I already have while I’m searching for a rhyme; I’d prefer if it wasn’t separate window but just another column too with less clutter; so the app is not trying to find rhymes too much, let us sit over a word for maybe 5-10 seconds before you start showing rhymes; 2) show internal rhymes within a line or neighboring lines; 3) add more rhymes; 4) have a looser interpretation of what rhymes to include imperfect rhymes, such as “aim” and “games”. This could be a big app I think. Wish you well with further development! Good luck!

This app does exactly what it says, looks great, and does it while being a real Mac app. It's exactly what I wanted. It uses plain text files, which is amazing, because they're easy to backup and I'm not locked in at all. On top of it all, the developer is extremely responsive. It's the app I would make, but now I don't have to!

My only Request atm would be the ability to not color code override rhymes but also use highlights (i tend to use highlights for rhymes and colored text for assonance and alliteration (both internal and external). The rhyme helper isn't very effective yet but I don't plan to use it too much so I don't mind. Another thing I do to help graph rhyme schemes is use superscript numbers to signal where a line ends on the bar-line. Ex: '¹' '²' '³' '⁴' .ect I just put those in the rhyme search area to easily copy and paste them. The syllables being on left side is a bit unintuitive to me, I would expect that to be the bar number and I would expect the syllable count to be on the right. I imagine thats something others also felt. I've proposed the idea to others (really anyone who I believe may take the idea) of a multi syllable rhyme dictionary which would be super useful and would be unique. You could have a community build a multi syllable rhyme dictionary by having people submitting suggestions and their own rhymes (ofc monitoring them). As a paid add-on thats a great idea and the only one of it's kind. There are others working on book multi-syllable rhyming dictionaries but they are doing it completely alone and are very small in size at the moment. Anyways, I gave the app a 5 star review because I want it to have a chance to improve.

I should have learned on my own before, I know, but I don’t know which syllables match with which musical notes. I’m not seeing ANYTHING to help me with this, beyond color coding, and what looks like a rhythm counter.

I feel like this may not be getting a fair shake, or maybe I'm on a curve as I'm just using it for poetry. This is an excellent, universal minimalist writing app with helpful syllable tracking and a nice break-glass-in-case-of-emergency rhyme dictionary. Hopping between the Mac and iPhone apps as I work out my poems has been an absolute pleasure. Thanks!

I have started using this app, and it is helpful because it keeps count of how many syllables you use. But, I think that this app needs different sections for different things. For example, there can be a section for the chorous, and a section for the pre-chorous. This is very helpful for me because I am very new to song-writing and I like it whenever the app kind of helps you by using sections. Whenever I opened up this app I realized that it did not have different sections and I felt like the app was just throwing me out there and not helping me at all.

This app is okay, I guess. But it only allows you to do perfect ryhmes. I tried using it, and at first it worked. But I'm a rapper, and sometimes you need other rhymes than perfect rhymes, and it doesn't help me. In fact, I feel that it makes me limit myself to the perfect rhymes it gives me, and not to the abounding world of rhymes. So I only go to this app as a last resort if I'm really stuck.

Won't let me rhyme "home" with "alone" Pat Pattiston would be not be pleased. He really likes those "soft" rhymes.... But some people are really big on perfect rhymes only. YMMV But one star from me, cause I can't use it.

I needed an app that helped me keep track of the syllables and rhymes and this was perfect! Thanks!

It was buggy in the beginning with apostrophes not being allowed and a few crashes but now its running great. Thank you for this.
