1. Maxwell+ should work well 3. I would need to explore, you can join the discord or the mailing list on the website!
cheers!
I'm not experienced in building desktop apps per-se, so I went with the thing that looked reasonable to me. all your comments are valid tho. I'll take a look how can I resolve this in the future.
cheers!
thanks for your feedback and reports, I'd be happy if they are added as issues on github.
as said in the separate comment, I really wanted an app to be as "grandma-proof" as possible, therefore I really wanted to have one binary that does the magic for you. it's a karaoke app, not a tool that is aimed at engineers.
we can indeed look at the local packages before downloading an executable, it's just not done yet but might be added in the future.
I've built this project out of passion and it's 100% open-source and free, so please keep this in mind when criticizing.
need more pioneers to try it out and spread the word!
you can use + / - buttons on the keyboard to change the level of guidance according to your preference, generally there is a controls legend in the top right corner
both transcript/alignment might not work perfectly, but it really depends on the song
indeed, I'm running to two problems on the analyzer side: 1. align model sliding off (especially w/ chorus/back vocals present) 2. transcript skipping parts of lyrics in lyrics-heavy tracks (I tried a lot of russian rap, lol)
happy for contributions as I'm not that experienced w/ machine learning side of the project, mostly it was emperical "tweak the parameters and look what is changed"
Everything runs locally on your machine, nothing gets uploaded. No accounts, no subscriptions, no telemetry.
It ships as a single binary for Linux, macOS, and Windows. On first launch it sets up its own isolated Python environment and downloads the ML models it needs - no manual installation of dependencies required.
My two biggest drivers for the creation of this were:
The lack of karaoke coverage for niche, avant-garde, and local tracks.
Nostalgia for the good old cheesy karaoke backgrounds with flowing rivers, city panoramas, etc.
Some highlights: Stem separation using the UVR Karaoke model (preserves backing vocals) or Demucs
Automatic lyrics via WhisperX transcription, or fetched from LRCLIB when available
Pitch scoring with player profiles and scoreboards
Gamepad support and TV-friendly UI scaling for party setups
GPU acceleration on NVIDIA (CUDA) and Apple Silicon (CoreML/MPS)
Built with Rust and the Bevy engine
The whole stack is open source. No premium tier, no "open core" - just the app.Feedback and contributions welcome.
