Acaload is an open-source project designed to locally extract the stems of any song directly from YouTube using AI — no uploads, no shady servers.
Most online stem extractors force you to first download the song (MP3, M4A, WAV, etc.) and then upload it to their site. Plus, many of these sites lock you behind a paywall or limit usage. Acaload cuts the middleman: it downloads and processes everything locally, so you keep control and don’t pay a dime.
