Welcome to Larka AI

A quick tour of everything Larka AI can do for you as a musician or songwriter.

Larka AI is an all-in-one musician's toolkit that lives on your iPhone. It combines real-time music tools — tuner, metronome, chord detector — with AI-powered features that help you write, record, and produce music faster than ever.

What you can do with Larka

Record your ideas — tap Record, play or sing, and Larka automatically detects the key, scale, BPM, and chord progression of what you played. Every recording is saved with its musical analysis.

Detect chords in real time — use Listen Mode to see chords as you play, with a live timeline showing chord changes, key, and scale.

Generate full songs with AI — write a few notes or lyrics, pick a genre and mood, and generate a 30-second clip or a full-length song — instrumental or vocal.

Write with AI — use the AI Lyric Writer to generate lyrics from your key, genre, and mood. Edit, regenerate, or use them as inspiration.

Create cover art — generate album artwork in 8 different visual styles directly from your note.

Stay in tune — the chromatic tuner supports all instruments. The metronome has tap-tempo and haptic beat feedback.
