Privacy, the honest version
Short version: I don't want your data, and I couldn't sell it if I tried.
crate has no accounts, no backend, and no tracking. Everything you write, every timestamp you tap, every file you tag happens directly in your browser and stays on your machine. When you hit save, it goes to your own browser's local storage, not a server somewhere.
The only two things that ever leave your browser: a rhyme lookup (if you use it) sends the last word of a line to a free public rhyming API, and the tag-editing tools load a couple of small libraries from a CDN the first time you use them. Neither one sends anything about you, your files, or your lyrics anywhere.
No analytics. No cookies. No ads. No "we value your privacy" banner, because there's nothing here to consent to.
One honest caveat: the dashboard already lets you save and organize multiple songs, but it only lives in one browser, on one device, on purpose. If there's enough demand for smoothly editing .lrc projects across devices with real sync, a peer-to-peer solution might get built, your devices talking directly to each other, no account, no central server holding your data. For now, everything stays local.
This isn't a product, it's a tool built because the other ones were bad. Use it, break it, tag your whole library with it. Have fun.
