Remove the vocals. Change the key. Record your take. All on your phone.

Every cover is drawn from the song's own title and artist. There is no catalogue: these are files you already own.
One audio file, six things you cannot do with the original.
A separation model runs on your phone and pulls the lead voice out of the mix, leaving the backing to sing over. Nothing is uploaded to do it.
Shift a song up or down by semitones without changing its speed, and change your mind mid-song if you pitched it wrong.
Lyrics are looked up automatically and scroll with the music. If a song isn't found, search for it by hand or paste the lyrics in yourself.
Homeoke measures the range of the original vocal, so you know before you start whether a song sits where your voice does.
Sing with or without headphones, then balance your voice against the music, keep the takes worth keeping, and film yourself if you want to.
Long-press a phrase and tag it: head voice, breath here, don't rush. The mark stays on that phrase every time you come back to the song.
Homeoke is on the App Store, for any iPhone running iOS 17 or later. There is no account to make and no catalogue to sign up to: it opens on a demo song, so there is something to sing before you have added anything of your own.
Found something broken? Tell me about it. It is a one-person project, and reports genuinely change what gets fixed next.
Worth saying plainly, because it is the first thing people ask.
Not a promise in a policy, but a consequence of where the work happens. Vocal removal, key shifting and recording all run on the phone, so there is no server to send your music to and none to keep it on. There is no account and no sign-in. Your recordings stay in the app and are deleted with it.
The one thing that goes out over the network is a song's title and artist, sent to a public lyrics catalogue to find them. No audio, no identifier, no account. The privacy policy says it in full.
No. Vocal removal runs on the phone itself. The only thing that leaves the device is a song's title and artist, sent to a public lyrics catalogue to look them up.
It depends on the song. A clear lead voice over a sparse backing comes out clean. Dense mixes, heavy reverb and backing harmonies are harder, and on some tracks you will hear a faint trace of the original singer. More on what makes a song easy or hard.
iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Separation is real work for the processor: on a recent iPhone a four-minute song is done in about twenty seconds, and on an iPhone XS it runs closer to real time.
No. With headphones the microphone hears only you. Without them it also hears the backing track through the speaker, which Homeoke expects, and it separates your voice back out of the recording afterwards. How that works.
No. Homeoke is iPhone only, and there is no Android version planned at the moment.
A song you already have, in a key that suits you, with the lyrics in front of you.
