Built a local TTS app for Mac. Runs Qwen3-TTS on-device via MLX, no cloud, no API key

by

I've been working on a voice synthesis app that runs entirely on your Mac's Apple Silicon chip. It uses Qwen3-TTS (Apache-2.0) through MLX, so everything stays local — no cloud processing, no per-character billing, no API keys.

Just shipped an update that bundles the model directly in the download, so first launch is instant instead of waiting for a 1.9GB model download.

What it does:

- On-device text-to-speech with Qwen3-TTS

- Zero-shot voice cloning (record 30s, clone your voice)

- Studio mode with Whisper WER grading

- Long-form synthesis for voiceovers

- Works fully offline after install

Pricing: Free to try (25 generations, 1 voice). Pro is $19 one-time — all voices, voice cloning, studio mode, unlimited generations. No subscription.

Built solo, would genuinely appreciate feedback. Especially if you've used ElevenLabs/PlayHT and can compare the quality.
