Where to Download Applio and Which Platforms Are Supported

Updated

You can download Applio from its official site, applio.org. The project offers two ways to run it: a standalone Desktop app and the classic Gradio WebUI. Both are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and there is also a cloud option if you would rather not install anything locally.

Download options

Applio ships in two forms, and the right one depends on how you prefer to work.

Option What it is Best for
Applio Desktop A standalone desktop application Users who want a self-contained app without managing a web UI
Gradio WebUI The classic browser-based interface Users who prefer a browser interface or are already familiar with Gradio-based tools

The site presents these as a choice rather than a default, so you can pick either without losing access to the core feature set.

Supported platforms

Applio runs on:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux

The site also mentions running it in the cloud, so a local install is not strictly required. If your machine struggles with model training or real-time inference, the cloud path is the alternative to consider.

How to get started

The official flow is three steps:

  1. Get Applio — Download the standalone Desktop app or choose the classic Gradio WebUI from applio.org.
  2. Pick or train a voice — Use community-shared voice models, or train your own from your own audio datasets.
  3. Convert your audio — Transform songs, speech, or microphone input, then test it in the playground.

If you only want to try the tool before committing to an install, the Playground on the site lets you test conversions first.

What you need before downloading

A few conditions are worth checking before you start:

  • For voice conversion with existing models: you need source audio and a voice model. Community-shared models are available if you do not want to train your own.
  • For training a custom voice: you need your own audio dataset. The Audio Analyzer feature is there to check dataset readiness before training, so run your audio through it first if you plan to train.
  • For real-time voice change: this uses low-latency inference and is aimed at songs, streams, and calls, so it is more demanding than offline batch conversion.

Licensing and account requirements

Applio is open source under the MIT license, which means you can use, modify, and redistribute it for personal projects, research, or commercial work. The project states there are no accounts, no paywalls, and no telemetry, and that everything runs locally on your machine. That makes the desktop and WebUI routes self-contained: no sign-up step is described as part of the download process.

Common sticking points

  • Choosing between Desktop and WebUI: both are supported and neither is presented as deprecated, so pick based on interface preference rather than feature limits.
  • Training vs. converting: these are separate workflows. If you just want a quick result, start with a community model and conversion rather than training from scratch.
  • Platform-specific setup: the site lists Windows, macOS, and Linux as supported, but does not detail per-platform installation steps on the page summarized here. Check the Documentation link on applio.org for the current instructions for your OS.
