Your lyrics belong on your account, not on a single phone. If you write a chart on the iPad at home and open another signed-in device at rehearsal, you should see the same song — same chords, same folders, same setlist order.
Lyrics Library syncs that library when you sign in with Apple or Google. Guest use can still save locally, but a named sign-in is how the catalog follows you. Download is on iPhone, iPad, and Android.
What syncs
When you are signed in, the cloud copy includes:
- Songs and lyrics
- Chord placements
- Folders
- Setlists and running order
- Synced settings tied to the account
It does not turn the website into a public lyrics search. Other people cannot open your library. Only your signed-in user can read or write those documents. Details live in the Privacy Policy and FAQ.
Sign in on the first device
You can start without an account. The app may create an anonymous session so the library still has an owner. That is fine for a trial. It is a poor long-term plan if you clear app data or switch phones.
When you care about the catalog:
- Open Account
- Sign in with Apple or Google
- Confirm a song you already saved still appears
- Add one new chart and wait for a network connection
Then open Lyrics Library on the second device with the same Apple or Google account. The porch-light draft you typed at home should be in the library.
Download Lyrics Library free on each phone or tablet you perform from, then sign in once.
Guest mode is not a backup plan
Anonymous sync can work until the session is gone. Uninstall, a new phone, or cleared storage can make recovery hard if you never linked Apple or Google. Linking is the safest way to keep the library.
If you already have songs as a guest, sign in on that same device first so the existing library can attach to the named account. Then open the second device.
Offline still works for what you have
You can read and edit charts the app has already loaded without a signal. Cloud sync needs a network. If you are heading to a basement venue, open tonight’s setlist once on Wi‑Fi before you leave.
Do not assume a brand-new song typed on another device will appear mid-set without a connection.
One account, your devices
Use the same sign-in on iPhone, iPad, and Android. Do not create a second Google user “for the band iPad” unless you want a second library. Lyrics Library is a personal songbook that can travel with you — it is not a shared team drive.
If you export or share a single song as text, ChordPro, or PDF, that is a file you send. It is not live two-way editing with someone else’s account. For format choices, read how to share lyrics as text, ChordPro, or PDF.
If something looks missing
- Confirm you are signed in as the same person
- Give the app a moment on a stable network
- Check that you did not filter to a different folder
- See the FAQ or email eleazertoluan@gmail.com
The goal is simple: write once, open anywhere you signed in.
