Larka AI Hum to Song review
A focused iOS songwriting app that expands short hummed ideas into complete tracks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Larka AI is a mobile music-creation app for musicians and songwriters who want to develop a melody into a produced track. Its Hum to Song workflow records up to 30 seconds of humming or singing, analyzes the melody, and generates a song using selected genre, mood and arrangement choices. You can request AI-sung lyrics, provide your own lyrics, or create an instrumental arrangement. The app also includes chord, key and scale detection, lyric writing, cover restyling, AI cover art and synchronized music-video generation. Larka says the iPhone and iPad app targets iOS 17 or later and is launching soon.
The published plans use a freemium model. Free costs $0 forever and includes a chromatic tuner, metronome, voice and instrument recorder, real-time chord detection, and unlimited songwriter notes and AI lyrics. Pro costs $4.99 per month with annual billing and adds WAV and MP3 export, commercial use, and one voice persona slot, while retaining everything in Free. Studio costs $9.99 per month with annual billing and adds five voice persona slots, no daily generation limit, and early access to new features. These tiers make export and commercial rights the main reasons to move beyond Free, while Studio targets heavier generation and multi-persona workflows.
The standout capability is the path from a brief vocal idea to an editable song: generated tracks can be extended to three minutes or longer, vocals and instruments can be separated into stems, and a mixer supports further adjustment. Voice cloning and reusable AI voice personas add continuity across creations, while cover restyling works from uploaded or saved audio. Choose Larka AI if you want an iOS-centered sketch-to-song workflow with built-in lyric and arrangement tools. Consider another option if you need Android, notation export, or broader support channels than documentation.
