What is Voicebox?
Voicebox is a **local-first voice cloning studio** with DAW-like features for professional voice synthesis. Think of it as a **local, free and open-source alternative to ElevenLabs** — download models, clone voices, and generate speech entirely on your machine.
Unlike cloud services that lock your voice data behind subscriptions, Voicebox gives you:
**Complete privacy** — models and voice data stay on your machine
**Professional tools** — multi-track timeline editor, audio trimming, conversation mixing
**Model flexibility** — currently powered by Qwen3-TTS, with support for XTTS, Bark, and other models coming soon
**API-first** — use the desktop app or integrate voice synthesis into your own projects
**Native performance** — built with Tauri (Rust), not Electron
**Super fast on Mac** — MLX backend with native Metal acceleration for 4-5x faster inference on Apple Silicon
Download a voice model, clone any voice from a few seconds of audio, and compose multi-voice projects with studio-grade editing tools. No Python install required, no cloud dependency, no limits.
