Could you build this?
Partial A native Mac and iOS app with synced lyric highlighting and AI translation is vibe-codeable with SwiftUI. Reliable cross-device sync with Apple Music and Spotify playback, plus licensed lyric data, is restricted by platform APIs and licensing.
What it would actually take: The stack would be native Swift apps using MusicKit and Spotify's Web API for playback state, a sync channel between devices (such as Multipeer or CloudKit), and an LLM for translation and pronunciation. The hard parts are obtaining lyrics with timing data legally, since providers restrict licensing, and getting low-latency playback position from platforms that don't expose it cleanly. This needs Apple-platform engineering and music-licensing work.
