Windows and Linux need an NVIDIA GPU with about 4 GB of video memory. Mac: Apple Silicon with 8 GB of unified memory — test build, never run by anyone.
No NVIDIA card?
On an AMD or Intel GPU, Sonorita won’t start at all — it shows a “hardware support coming soon” screen and stops there. Sonorita generates music on your GPU, and today it only knows how to use NVIDIA cards.
If that’s your machine, leave your email below. Knowing how many of you there are is what decides whether I build it.
On a Mac?
Until now Sonorita refused to start on every Mac — it looked for an NVIDIA card, found none, and stopped. That’s fixed, and the fix is in the test build above. It won’t be in the regular release for a few weeks.
Being straight with you: nobody has run that build yet — not once, on any Mac. Apple Silicon only, 8 GB of unified memory or more; Intel Macs aren’t supported. It’s unsigned, so macOS blocks it until you open System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open anyway. The About menu will say 0.1.0-alpha.17 — that’s expected, the fix is in there. If you run it, leave your email below — I want to know where it stopped. Right now nobody knows whether it works, me included.
Another Linux distro?
I only ship .deb and .rpm. There’s no AppImage: the one I can build has no sound at all — the bundled WebKit ships without the GStreamer pieces it needs, and I haven’t got to fixing that properly yet.
If you’re on Arch, openSUSE, NixOS or anything else, leave your email and tell me which — that’s what would move it up the list.
What happens on first run
Sonorita downloads about 3.3 GB of AI models — roughly 10 to 15 minutes on a typical connection, and about 5 GB of free disk space. Very little happens on screen during that time. After that it works fully offline.
Those models land on your system drive — %APPDATA% on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support on macOS, ~/.local/share on Linux — not on the drive you installed the app to. That system drive is the one that needs the 5 GB, and it’s the one Sonorita means when it says there isn’t enough space. If it’s tight and you’re comfortable with environment variables, set SONORITA_MODELS_DIR to another folder before you launch the app and the models go there instead.
You’ll also see a security warning: the app isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows shows “Windows protected your PC” — click More info, then Run anyway. It’s an alpha built by one developer, not malware.
