Everything a karaoke night needs, from getting ready to the last song — and nothing your guests have to install.
The easier it is to join, the more people sing. That is the whole idea behind the guest side of Jukoke.
Step 1: Join Wi-Fi. Step 2: Join Jukoke. The host shows both codes side by side (Party → QR Code / Link). Guests who are already on the network can skip straight to step 2. Available on every plan. No internet at the venue? See Venue internet.
Jukoke opens in the browser every phone already has. No app store, no update prompts, no account, and no name or email asked for.
A private note from guest to host, for the person who’d rather not search for songs in front of friends. The host adds the songs to that guest’s own line, so the rotation stays fair, and replies with an OK, a heads-up or a “sorry, can’t”. Notes can be in any language; guests can send a few and carry on while they wait, and can take one back before it is answered. The host sees a Waiting list and a Handled list, with search and sorting, so a busy night stays manageable. Free guests see it as an upgrade hint.
With Follow-Me, a returning guest gets their history, favorites and keys back, at this party or the next.
Control your own song, loop a tricky section and slow it down until it clicks.
Guests can see where they are in the line, and every guest gets a heads-up on their phone when their turn is coming, then a clear “You are up” screen. On Pro you choose how early the warning comes.
Jukoke is one program at every size. A duet at home and a KJ with a full room use the same app; the plans simply lift the limits and add the tools a crowd needs.
Free covers you and one guest. Add Lite for practice tools and a party of friends.
Pro removes the guest cap and adds crowd control, stage tools, announcements and the full party look. Buy it by the 6-hour session when you need it — no subscription to cancel.
Keep a prep for each gig, clone an old one, tag venues, and bring the whole night back in one step.
Run one Jukoke in each room. Each has its own queue and guests, and the rooms can share the same song libraries over your network.
The host console works on a phone, a tablet or the laptop itself. Walk the room, not back to the computer.
Your library folders, online sources you set up, or a pasted link. One queue, however a song arrives.
Two short paths: what the host does, and what a guest does. Every step is something Jukoke handles for you.
Ten pieces, one evening, in the order a party happens, starting with your first time. Each does one job and passes the baton to the next, so the host does less and the guests wait less.
A guided checklist for your first time, and any time something stops working. Tell Jukoke what you have to sing with: song files, your own media, or nothing yet. It checks your screen, songs, online search and Wi-Fi as they are right now, keeps itself up to date while you work, shows what is left, and takes you straight to each fix. Skip anything you do not plan to use. It can try a sample of songs from your catalog, the Dashboard button turns green, yellow or red, and a Screen & sound clip lets you check the TV and each speaker. Sound and TV setup come with plain guidance. Online search needs a separate helper program that you choose to set up; it is provided as is, without warranty or support. On every plan.
Build a plan for the night ahead of time, with no session running: party details, the look, filler music, guest permissions, your own songs, and the guests you expect with songs picked for each. On the night it all goes into place together.
Scan your folders, or import a list exported from your old karaoke software. Review it, fix any title or artist, and approve. Guests then search the songs you actually have, by title or artist, and find something that will play. Scan and import are on every plan; editing a catalog entry later is part of Lite and Pro.
Give the party a title and colors on guests’ phones and, on Pro, on the TV too. Pro also adds your own background pictures. Without one, the background is a wave pattern in your party colors. It feels like your party, not a generic app.
Guests scan a QR code, pick a stage name and a 4-digit PIN, and they’re in. The last four digits of a phone number make an easy PIN to remember, but any four digits work, and nothing checks them. No account, no app, and no name or email asked for. With Follow-Me, a returning guest is recognized: their history, favorites and keys come back, at this party or the next.
Add songs from your own song folders, from a catalog of what you have, from guests’ own files in the shared folders you open to them, from online search, or by pasting a link. Lite and Pro add saved playlists, including importing a whole YouTube playlist. Online search, Paste URL and playlist import need an online song source that you choose, set up and opt in to; Jukoke doesn’t include one. One shared queue, however a song arrives.
A rotation that gives every singer a turn. The host can reorder and manage what’s queued, and the player always knows who is next.
Singers control their own song from their phones, and guests can see when they are up. The host can limit which controls guests get.
Loop a section, slow the tempo, and try it again. Handy for the song everyone loves and nobody has quite learned.
Approve, restrict or block guests when a crowd needs managing, and look over a long or repeated song before it joins the queue. Rules follow the same guest identity all night. Song review, Strict Admission and the rest are Pro.
Tell Jukoke who is coming and what they will sing, and it does the rest. Preparing is free on every plan; applying a prep to a live party is part of Pro.
Jukoke is free to run on its own. When you want a bigger party, start a session — a 6-hour block of a paid plan — using Play Tokens from your Wallet. Buy tokens in packs; larger packs cost less per token. See Pricing for pack prices and session costs.

Free needs no session. Lite and Pro each last 6 hours, and you can upgrade a running Lite session to Pro for the difference. Settings you make on a higher plan are kept when you step down and come back when you return. Every installation includes a 30-day free trial of the paid plans, and a 30-Day Pro Pass gives unlimited Pro sessions for 30 days. See Pricing.
Jukoke is a player and party manager. It doesn’t come with a song library: you bring your own karaoke files, and online sources are optional and set up by you. You are responsible for having the right to play the songs you use, and venues generally need the appropriate public-performance licenses.
