Everything you need to get the most out of Huqqs. No runaround, no hold music.

How does Huqqs hear my music?

Huqqs uses your device's microphone and Apple's ShazamKit to identify songs playing nearby. ShazamKit generates a compact audio fingerprint on-device and sends it to Apple for matching. Separately, Huqqs may send a short audio sample to its own servers to keep lyrics in sync. It is never stored or shared.

Does Huqqs record or store audio?

Huqqs never stores audio. Audio is analyzed in real time for song identification and visual response, and a short sample may be sent to Huqqs' own servers to keep lyrics in sync — it is never stored or shared. See the privacy policy for details.

Is Huqqs free?

Huqqs is free to download, with synced lyrics for 10 songs a week, a selection of stages, and one pet. No account required.

Huqqs Pro ($4.99/month or $29.99/year, with a 14-day free trial) unlocks every stage and every pet, lyrics without the weekly limit, live translation, and automatic stage picks. Restore a purchase from the paywall's Restore button or Settings → Support. Manage or cancel in your device's subscription settings.

What's the dancing pet?

A small animated companion that dances along with the song on top of whichever stage you picked. A few families (blob, animal, spirit, pixel), and we keep adding more.

Tap to trigger a reaction, double-tap to cycle pets, long-press to pick up, drag to reposition. It stays exactly where you leave it. Change or turn it off in Settings.

Why aren't lyrics showing?

Two usual reasons: the song may not be recognized yet (give Huqqs a few seconds of clean audio), or there may be no synced lyrics available for that track. Try a different song to confirm.

Supported devices?

iOS 17 or later, on iPhone and iPad, and Apple Silicon Macs, where Huqqs runs as an iPhone & iPad app on Mac. An Android version is coming soon to Google Play. An internet connection is needed for song identification and lyrics retrieval.
