Full songs from a sentence.
Sung in your voice.
Cadence is a desktop app that writes, composes, and performs complete tracks from a text prompt - locally, in a voice cloned from a few minutes of your speech. Any language. No per-song fees.
Also for macOS, Apple silicon and Linux, .deb under testing

One voice. Every track. Your machine.
A voice that never drifts
Train once from a short reading session. Every track you generate afterwards sings in the same voice - yours - with no variation between generations.
Any language
Prompt in one language, sing in another. Lyrics and style understanding are driven by a language model with support for more than fifty languages.
Local by default
Generation runs on your own GPU. No subscription, no per-song cost, no upload. Cloud providers are an option you can add, never a requirement.
Four steps between a thought and a track
Type a prompt
A sentence in any language. Mood, story, genre, tempo - as much or as little as you want.
Lyrics and structure
A language model turns your prompt into lyrics and a structured style: genre, tempo, key, mood.
Music generation
ACE-Step generates the full instrumental and a draft vocal on your GPU, in seconds.
Your voice
The draft vocal is re-voiced through your trained profile, keeping pitch and rhythm intact.
Native shell. Local engine. Real files.
A Rust desktop shell talking to a local Python engine over localhost. Tracks are WAV files on your disk, not entries in someone else's database.
Your voice stays home
Voice recordings and the trained model live on your machine and nowhere else. Nothing is uploaded during training or generation unless you explicitly switch a provider to cloud.
Open development
Cadence is being built in public, phase by phase, with working milestones at each step. The repository, the roadmap, and the decisions behind them are all visible.
Follow the build, or run it from source today
The installer lands in Phase 7. Until then, Cadence runs from source on Windows with an NVIDIA GPU.
