Native Mac  ·  No cloud

Voice-noting,
but for your actual work.

Say it. Watch it appear. murmur converts your speech to text everywhere you type on Mac — offline, private, and instant.

Free to start macOS 14+ Apple Silicon

You already voice-note
your friends.

Every day you send voice messages on WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram. You prefer it over typing. Then you sit down at your Mac and the keyboard takes over — every Slack message, every email, every doc, back to typing.

murmur closes that gap.

Before
Staring at a blank message Thinking of what to type. Rewording. Editing. Rewording again. Sending something half as good as what you were thinking.
With murmur
Just say it. Press a key. Talk. Release. Your words appear — unfiltered, whole, exactly what you meant.

Built the way a Mac app should be.

Not a browser extension. Not a subscription SaaS. murmur is native, lightweight, and stays out of your way.

Fully offline

All transcription runs on your Mac via whisper.cpp on Apple Silicon. No network call, no API key, no round-trip latency. Works on a plane.

Zero cloud. Zero accounts.

Audio never leaves your device. No account to create, no data to breach. The privacy promise is architectural — there is nowhere for your audio to go.

Works everywhere you type

Slack, Notion, email, Terminal, code editors — anywhere there's a text field. One hotkey, any app, instant paste. System-wide, no exceptions.

Apple Silicon native

Built for M1, M2, M3, M4. Transcription runs on Metal and CoreML — faster than real-time, minimal battery draw, nothing in the background.

Your voice stays on your Mac.
Full stop.

Other apps certify their security, then send every word you speak to their servers. murmur is different at the architecture level. There is no server to send audio to.

  • No audio ever leaves your device
  • No account required, ever
  • No telemetry, no analytics
  • Open source — verify it yourself
  • Update checks only when you ask

Press. Speak. Done.

One keyboard shortcut. Any app on your Mac. Your words appear the moment you release.

"I send 20+ Slack messages a day. murmur cut my typing in half. I don't think about it anymore — I just talk."

Product Manager

"I was skeptical about anything that touched my mic. The fact that it's open source and fully local made the difference. Now I can't imagine not using it."

Senior Engineer

"The quality is way better than I expected. I write long emails just by talking them out. First draft is usually good enough to send."
