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 .
