Makae — Vocal Practice turns local practice songs and vocal takes into a focused rehearsal history you can return to. Choose a compatible audio file from Files, organize songs into playlists, record your voice during practice, and keep each take with a short note for later review. Makae stores practice content on your device and lets you exchange a playlist invitation file and separate verification code so a friend can open a read-only copy of the playlist metadata without a remote account. Use Makae to: - Import audio files you are allowed to use - Record, replay, annotate, and reopen local vocal takes - Organize songs into persistent practice playlists - Share and verify metadata-only friend playlist invitations - Create saved Vocal Focus Maps for selected takes with coins Makae keeps the basic practice loop free and makes each saved attempt easy to find again.
