VoiceNectar is your pocket music studio for vocal practice. Whether you're warming up with classical exercises, learning melodies from your favourite songs, or recording sing-along sessions over studio-quality backing tracks – everything happens on your phone, no account required. PRACTICE Set a tanpura drone, pick a raag, and run through swaras and alankars at your own pace. Choose from built-in templates or create your own. Hear each phrase played back on sitar, harmonium, flute, piano, or violin before you sing it. Adjust tempo and pitch to match your range. ALANKARS FROM ANY SONG Pick any song from your library. VoiceNectar extracts the melody and breaks it into singable phrases, instant alankars, from real music. Tap a phrase to hear it rendered in your chosen instrument, then sing along. KARAOKE & LYRICS Upload a song and get synchronised, word-level lyrics in seconds. Sing along with a scrolling karaoke display. Supports Hindi, Urdu, and English, with optional translation so you can follow along in a language you're learning. SING ALONG Record your voice over a backing track with the vocals removed. Play back your recording, compare it against the original, and share it when you're happy with the take. SONG MODULATION Apply studio-style audio presets to any song — change pitch, adjust tempo, or isolate vocals or instruments. Experiment with the sound before you practise. RECORDINGS Every recording you make is saved to a built-in library. Browse, replay, rename, or share your takes. A persistent now-playing bar lets you keep listening while you navigate. THREE LANGUAGES The full interface is available in English, Hindi, and Urdu. PRIVACY FIRST No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Microphone recordings never leave your device unless you explicitly share them. Audio files uploaded for processing are cached temporarily and auto-deleted within hours. VoiceNectar is made for vocalists at every level, from students running their first sa-re-ga-ma to performers polishing stage-ready recordings.

Carnatic music is one of the world's oldest and most intricate musical traditions — but learning it has always keeping a fixed schedule, and waiting years before you even approach a full composition. Rasika changes that. Built for students at every stage, Rasika brings structured Carnatic music education to your phone — lessons you can follow at your own pace, a library of compositions to reference any time, and a tambura drone that keeps your shruti steady through every practice session. GUIDED PRACTICE Rasika teaches the way a guru would — one lesson at a time, in the right order. Begin with Swarāvali, progress through Alankarams, then move steadily into Geethams, Varnams, and Kritis. Each lesson unlocks only after the previous one is complete, so your foundation is always solid before you advance. When you open a lesson in Practice mode, the app steps back — everything dims except the swaras, so your attention stays exactly where it needs to be. No distractions. Just the notes. A LIBRARY OF 100+ COMPOSITIONS The full Carnatic repertoire is available in the Library from day one — no progression required, no locked gates. Browse Geethams, Varnams, and Kritis by category. Read the lyrics, study the raga, and explore the composer's history whenever you want. BUILT-IN SHRUTI BOX A Carnatic musician is nothing without their shruti. Rasika's built-in tambura drone plays continuously in the background as you practise — across every screen in the app, always within reach. Set your Sa anywhere from Low A to A3, fine-tune the timbre and breath speed, and stay in perfect pitch through every session. EVERYTHING ELSE · Lessons unlock in sequence — a structured path, not a catalogue to scroll through · Practice mode brings full focus to the swaras · Track your progress, streak, and lessons completed · Full English and Tamil language support · Clean, focused design in light and dark mode · No subscription. No ads. Whether you are picking up Carnatic music for the very first time or returning to it after years away, Rasika meets you where you are. Start with your first swara. Everything else follows.
