OmniVoice GGUF source builds can optionally use Vulkan on Windows and Linux; see the native engine guide for build requirements, CPU fallback, and device overrides.
Get started
One-command install (macOS / Linux)
# Latest Electron release curl -fsSL https://voicestudio.sh/install | sh
# A specific published Electron release (replace X.Y.Z) curl -fsSL https://voicestudio.sh/install | sh -s -- --version X.Y.Z
# Build current main and install the desktop app curl -fsSL https://voicestudio.sh/install | sh -s -- --main
# Uninstall the app, keeping your data curl -fsSL https://voicestudio.sh/install | sh -s -- --uninstall
On Windows, run irm https://voicestudio.sh/install | iex in PowerShell.
If voicestudio.sh/install is unreachable or returns 404, run the same script straight from the repository, or clone it and run scripts/install.sh :
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
Release downloads require curl and a SHA-256 tool. --main requires Git, Node.js 22+, Bun, Rust/Cargo, and platform build tools; see installer prerequisites and behavior . The installer preserves your settings, projects, and models. Older versions must contain Electron packages; it never falls back to archived Tauri builds.
Or download from Releases (macOS .dmg , Windows .exe , Linux .AppImage or .deb , Android .apk , iPhone .ipa ; or sudo snap install voicestudio on Linux) and follow your platform guide:

Hardware
Support
NVIDIA GPU (Windows / Linux)
CUDA acceleration
AMD Radeon / supported Ryzen AI (Windows)
CPU by default; opt-in Windows ROCm setup for AMD's Windows 11 hardware matrix. Setup distinguishes package repair from host failures; install the VC++ runtime manually first. Optional engines have separate limits; Vulkan engines retain their own runtime.
Apple Silicon (M1–M5)
Metal (MPS) acceleration
AMD GPU
Opt-in native CosyVoice GGUF can use Vulkan when the community runtime is built with Vulkan; verified on RX 6700 XT ( setup )
No dedicated GPU (Intel/AMD integrated graphics, older PCs)
Fully usable on the CPU, slower; setup installs the small CPU build of PyTorch (about 5 GB free disk)
Windows on ARM (Snapdragon X etc.)
Experimental , validation pending: native ARM64 app, x64 Python backend under emulation, CPU only
Intel Mac
App UI only; connect to a remote backend ( why )
Android phones (Android 10+)
Preview : models run on the phone, offline once downloaded ( install )
iPhone and iPad (iOS 17+)
Preview : models run on the device; sideload the IPA with your Apple ID ( install )
Open Voice cloning , choose a voice or add a clean reference recording, enter your text, and generate. Install the required model when prompted. Hardware needs vary by engine; see performance .
Install with prompt
Paste into your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, …):
Install the VoiceStudio Electron app on this device and verify it works, following https://github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio/blob/main/docs/install/agent.md
The agent guide covers hardware detection, reusing existing data, asking before model downloads, and a test generation. Agents that support skills can also run npx skills add debpalash/VoiceStudio .
Run the Electron preview from source
git clone https://github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio.git cd VoiceStudio bun install bun run setup:api # prepare Python dependencies before starting Electron bun run dev
See Electron setup for prerequisites and backend configuration.
Use bun run smoke-test to build and launch an isolated packaged Electron app. Add -- --install for the networked managed-runtime installation check.
Electron is the only desktop app and web UI. Version 0.5.3 was the final Tauri release. Existing Tauri users must install Electron separately . The retired Tauri shell and legacy UI entry points have been removed.

License & responsible use
AGPL-3.0 covers the application, including commercial use under its conditions. Model weights, tokenizers, voices and generated-output conditions are separate; a paid app licence does not grant those rights. Clone voices only with permission. Model Manager now shows versioned model-source notices, evidence links and unresolved review gaps from the shared inventory . Its optional reviewed-file preview does not enforce ordinary downloads or certify commercial permission. See license details .
