Voice, without the instruments
Sakinah removes the instruments from the videos you watch, as you watch, and keeps every voice as it is: speech, Quran, nasheeds and the adhan. On your device, free.
On: instruments removed

How it works
Three steps. Nothing technical.
What stays, what goes?
We keep the whole human voice, because Quran and nasheeds are part of what you want to hear.
Where does Sakinah work?
On your computer and your phone — where you actually watch.
What you watch stays with you
Sakinah runs entirely on your device. We don’t need to know what you watch.
- No audio or video is uploaded
- No account, no sign-in
- No ads, no tracking
- Works offline once installed
- We will publish the source code so anyone can check
Who is Sakinah for?
How is Sakinah different?
Compared with the kinds of tools available today, from their public pages (October 2026).
Examples: cloud players such as HaramMute; speech filters such as NoMusic; file tools such as LALAL.AI, Moises and UVR. “Partly” means it varies between tools or we could not verify it. Speech filters are designed for speech; we have not yet tested their effect on singing.
For the curious: technical details
Numbers from our test on 44 Arabic clips (speech, Quran, adhan, nasheeds, songs, instrumental music).
- Real-time model (DFN3+)
- 2.2 M parameters, 40 ms delay, runs on any phone or PC CPU
- Voice kept
- 15.6 dB match to the reference separator; speech and Quran 25–31 dB
- Instrument-only music
- Brought down to −62 dB (silent) — better than the big reference model (−36 dB)
- HQ mode
- Much better on songs, ~0.8 s delay, for videos and audio
Weak spots today: songs with full bands, and Egyptian mahraganat. Being improved in v2.

npm install @nomusic/web
import { attach } from '@sakinahaudio/web'
const c = attach(video, { wasmUrl, modelUrl })
c.disable() // original sound, stays in sync
c.destroy()Source code and the library will be published (package name is provisional).
