Local dictation for macOS

Speak.
Your text appears.

Murmure types in every app without sending your voice to a server. Local dictation needs no account and no AI subscription. Optional post-processing can use an official AI client you already pay for — without copying API keys.

  • Audio processed on your Mac
  • MIT-licensed core
  • No account to start

One habit, three moves

Less typing.
More thinking.

Keep your existing workflow. Murmure simply bridges your voice and the text field that already has focus.

  1. 01

    Hold the shortcut

    Start Murmure from any application.

  2. 02

    Speak naturally

    Your audio is transcribed directly on your computer.

  3. 03

    Keep working

    The text appears exactly where your cursor was.

Private by architecture

Your voice should belong to you.

Core transcription runs locally. Murmure does not need to upload your recordings to make speech become text.

AI transformations are optional. When enabled, only text is sent to the provider you selected — never your audio.

Beyond transcription

Your voice, shaped for the context.

A quick message should not sound like meeting notes. Choose a mode and let Murmure shape your thought for the task.

The Murmure Pro difference

Already paying for AI?
Use it wherever you write.

Murmure can hand text cleanup to an official client already signed in on your Mac. No additional API key to buy, paste, or store.

  • 01 Your audio remains local.
  • 02 Only the text to transform is transmitted.
  • 03 Credentials remain with the official client.

Common questions

Before you talk to your Mac.

Is my voice sent over the internet?

No for local transcription. Optional AI transformations send only the selected text, never your audio.

Do I need an account or AI subscription?

No. Murmure Core works without either. An AI account is useful only when you voluntarily enable post-processing.

Why does macOS show a security warning?

The current Apple Silicon pilot is not yet notarized by Apple. We disclose that before download and never ask you to disable Gatekeeper.

What about Windows and Linux?

Murmure is designed for all three platforms. The public pilot starts on Apple Silicon Macs so we can focus support and quality.
