Riff

Pros

  • Free, with no account, subscription or API key

  • Dials for tone, pitch and length, plus a Fresh score to avoid repetitive openings

Cons

  • Requires desktop Chrome 138 or newer and a one-time Gemini Nano download
  • Output quality is limited by the small on-device model
  • Chrome only; no Firefox, Safari or mobile support
  • Very new, with few reviews on the Chrome Web Store
