How do I find a song on my computer by its lyrics?
Music files rarely contain their lyrics, so normal search cannot help. Trawl listens to your audio files on your Mac and writes down the words, so typing a line you remember finds the song.
The built-in way (free)
- Search the line online to learn the title, then search your files for the title.
With Trawl
- Type the line you remember: "searching for the meaning of the mind".
- The result shows where in the song the line is.
Describe it. Trawl finds it.
Files, photos, recordings, every browser and your clipboard, searched by meaning on your Mac. Your day, hour by hour. Nothing uploaded.
