Let your taskbarsing.

A music bar right under your taskbar icons: it pumps with every beat, sings the lyrics word by word and takes its colors from the cover art. Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, VLC… whatever plays, it follows.

Version 1.7.0 · about 50 MB of RAM · no ads on your taskbar
More than a progress bar

Your taskbar, now with a pulse.

Word-synced lyrics

Karaoke right on the taskbar, lyrics found on LRCLIB and NetEase, with romanization for Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

30 bar styles, 10 LED strips

Spectrum, Aurora, Oscilloscope… plus an RGB LED strip as smooth as the real thing, driven by the music.

Skins you write as shaders

One small HLSL file, Shadertoy style. Let an AI write it if you like: MusicBar points at the faulty line.

A face that sings

Sits by the player, sings along with a mic, dozes off when the music stops, sweats when the CPU is busy.

A clear taskbar, built in

No TranslucentTB needed. Quit and the taskbar is back as it was, auto-hide included.

50MB RAM
after 8 hours

Featherweight

About 50 MB of RAM while playing, no creeping over time, light even on 144 Hz screens.

Community gallery

Skins, visualizers, LED strips. One click to install.

Every item is scanned and reviewed by hand before it goes up. In MusicBar: Settings → Online gallery.
