![A tour of the Electron app: voice cloning, voice design, dubbing, and model management](docs/media/electron/voicestudio.gif)

## Your voice. Your workflow.

Start with **VoiceStudio** (default, powered by k2-fsa/OmniVoice), or choose another engine. [Features & engine catalog](docs/feature-catalog.md).

Local workflows run on your hardware. Remote services are optional; usage analytics requires consent.

## Get started

### One-command install (macOS / Linux)

```sh
# 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.
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](docs/install/script.md).
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](https://github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio/releases/latest) (macOS `.dmg`, Windows `.exe`, Linux `.AppImage` or `.deb`) and follow your platform guide:

**[macOS](docs/install/macos.md) · [Windows](docs/install/windows.md) · [Linux](docs/install/linux.md) · [Docker](docs/install/docker.md)**

| Hardware | Support |
|---|---|
| NVIDIA GPU (Windows / Linux) | CUDA acceleration |
| Apple Silicon | Metal (MPS) acceleration |
| 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](docs/install/macos.md)) |

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](docs/performance.md).

### Install with prompt

Paste into your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, …):

```text
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](docs/install/agent.md) 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`.

<details>
<summary><strong>Run the Electron preview from source</strong></summary>

```bash
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](electron/README.md) 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.

</details>

> **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](docs/electron-migration.md). The retired Tauri shell and legacy UI entry points have been removed.

## License & responsible use

[AGPL-3.0](LICENSE) 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](docs/licensing/model-inventory.md). Its optional [reviewed-file preview](docs/licensing/model-review-workflow.md) does not enforce ordinary downloads or certify commercial permission. See [license details](LICENSE-NOTICE.md).
