There’s a little girl in my family who loves to sing. Whenever she discovers a song she likes, we often spend a lot of time searching for a suitable instrumental version. Sometimes it is difficult to find one, and even when we do, downloading it often requires payment. That is why I created PickTune. PickTune uses a built-in AI model to separate vocals and instrumentals from music or video files directly on your device. Your audio does not need to be uploaded. Once processing is complete, you can play, save, and share the results. You can also add synchronized lyrics, play audio through AirPlay, record yourself singing along with the instrumental, and adjust the mix afterward. PickTune began as a small tool made for my family. After using it for a while and finding it genuinely helpful, I decided to share it with everyone who loves to sing. May every song you love come with an instrumental to sing along with. Key features: - Separate vocals and instrumentals from music and video files - Built-in AI processing that runs entirely on your device - Search for lyrics or import local LRC files - Display synchronized lyrics during playback - Record vocals while playing the instrumental - Preview and adjust your mix - Play audio through AirPlay - Save and share audio files - Sync records and audio through iCloud - All features are free to use
