nightingale-karaoke

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection. Nightingale is a self-contained, ML-powered karaoke application written in Rust (Bevy engine). It scans a local music folder, separates vocals from instrumentals (UVR Karaoke model or Demucs), transcribes lyrics with word-level timestamps (WhisperX), and plays back with synchronized highlighting, real-time pitch scoring, player profiles, and GPU shader / video backgrounds. Everything — ffmpeg, Python, PyTorch, ML models — is bootstrapped automatically on first launch. Download the latest release from the Releases page for your platform and run it. macOS only — remove quarantine after extracting: Prerequisites: Outputs a .tar.gz (Linux/macOS) or .zip (Windows) ready for distribution. On first run, Nightingale downloads and configures: This takes 2–10 minutes depending on network speed. A progress screen is shown in-app. To force re-bootstrap at any time: Bootstrap completion is marked by ~/.nightingale/vendor/.ready .
