noCap 0.2.0 is a full redesign, much faster analysis on Apple Silicon, and the first build that is signed and notarized by Apple — it opens without a security warning.

Download

noCap-0.2.0-arm64.dmg — open it and drag noCap into Applications.

  • Requires a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later).
  • Everything is bundled (Python, Whisper, Demucs): no setup, and analysis works offline.

What's new

A flow map you can read

  • Syllables now show their text inside each block, placed on the 16th-note grid; stressed syllables are filled and bold.
  • Smart zoom: zoom out to see the whole track, zoom in to read every syllable (⌘+ / ⌘− or pinch).
  • The eight largest rhyme groups get their own colour-blind-checked colour, plus a letter on every block.
  • A pocket notch under each syllable shows whether it lands ahead of or behind the grid.
  • Optional layers for density, beat switches and cuts, energy and drum onsets, with a legend.

Inspector and report

  • Inspector with Track, Bar and Rhymes tabs: bar metrics against the track average, the bar's lyrics, why a marker fired, and bars with a similar flow.
  • Rhyme groups named by their sound (IPA) and example words.
  • New Report page: density and pocket across the whole track with section bands; click any bar to jump to it.

Player and keyboard

  • Draggable timeline with a density mini-map, section marks and loop region.
  • Loop any bar or range (L), switch mix / vocals (V), nudge sync, and a full set of shortcuts (press ?).

Library and analysis

  • Library cards with a density mini-map, search and sort; a demo track for first-time users.
  • Analysis runs in the background with step-by-step progress and can be cancelled.
  • Faster analysis on Apple Silicon: transcription and vocal separation run on the GPU.
  • Stricter rhyme detection: words only rhyme when their stressed vowel matches.

Under the hood

  • The library is now a single SQLite database in ~/Library/Application Support/noCap/.
  • Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

Upgrading from 0.1.0

Tracks from the previous version are copied into the new library automatically on first launch. The old ~/.nocap_library folder is left untouched; you can delete it once you have checked your tracks.
