About
Put a record on and Obi tells you what's playing. Drop the needle, press OK, and it listens to the room, works out which record is on the turntable, and follows along for the rest of the side — lyrics in time with the music, the tracklist, and how long you have before you need to get up. No account, no library to build, nothing to import. Obi doesn't play the music; your turntable does that.
- Identifies the record from the room audio with ShazamKit, then follows the whole side without listening again
- Time-synced lyrics from LRCLIB, with the current line bright enough to read from the couch
- Picks the right Discogs release, so the tracklist, side labels and timings match the record you actually own
- Side progress at a glance — track position, time left, and a heads-up on the final track
- End of a side shows the next side's tracklist, and starts it on its own once you flip
- Lyric timing nudge, for pressings that run a few seconds off the digital master
- Colours pulled from the album art, so every record lights the room differently
- Needs a USB or Bluetooth mic — TV streamers don't expose one to apps, and Obi says so up front rather than hanging on "Listening…"
