Less friction. More flow.

You think it.
Your Mac gets it.

No new writing app to learn. Just a shortcut between your thoughts and the text field.

01

Press your shortcut

Start from the menu bar, a global hotkey, Fn/Globe, push-to-talk, hands-free mode, or an optional local voice trigger.

02

Speak naturally

Murmurio records the session you started, shows a recording overlay, detects silence, and can prepare phrase chunks during longer dictation.

03

Paste and continue

The transcript is copied to your clipboard and can be pasted automatically or manually with Command-V.

THERE’S MORE TO YOUR VOICE

INCLUDED WITH THE APP

Bundled speech models

OPTIONAL WRITING ASSISTANCE

Apple on-device models

Use Apple Foundation Models for grammar and clarity when available on your Mac. Availability depends on your system and settings.

Requires a supported Apple AI setup
CHOOSE YOUR LOCAL MODEL

Local Ollama

Prefer a model you manage? Connect Grammar Assist to a local Ollama model. Ollama and its model need to be set up separately.

An alternative engine for Grammar Assist
What if local AI assistance is unavailable?

You can still dictate with Murmurio’s bundled speech models. Grammar Assist is optional, and its availability depends on your Mac and the engine you configure. The base app’s macOS 14+ requirement does not mean Apple’s writing models are available on every supported Mac.

03 / A HOME FOR YOUR IDEAS

A passing thought.
A place to stay.

Not every thought belongs in a text field. Give the ones worth keeping a little home of their own—right on your Mac.

A few good questions

Before you install.

Still curious about something?
Let’s talk

Does Murmurio send audio to the cloud?

No. Speech recognition runs on device with bundled CoreML models. Optional Grammar Assist can use Apple on-device models or a local Ollama model.

Which Macs are supported?

Murmurio requires macOS 14 Sonoma or newer on Apple Silicon.

Is Murmurio available for Windows, iPhone, Android, or the web?

No. Murmurio is exclusive to macOS. It is developed as a native Mac app so performance, keyboard shortcuts, menu-bar behavior, permissions, and the writing experience can be tuned for Mac users.

Why does it request Input Monitoring?

Input Monitoring lets Murmurio detect your configured global shortcut across apps. It is not used to capture typed content.

Why does it request Accessibility?

Accessibility is used only for automatic paste. Without it, Murmurio still copies the transcript to the clipboard for manual paste.

What happens after I download the zip?

Unzip Murmurio, move it to Applications, open it, then grant the permissions you want in System Settings.

Is there a subscription or any hidden cost?

No. Murmurio Pro is one €19 lifetime payment for extended features. There are no subscriptions, renewals, or hidden costs.

Your next great idea is waiting.

Just say it.

Start dictating where you already write.
