Current open-source download: Murmur 0.2.4, under GPLv3, with source and build instructions. This historical installer keeps its original bundled preview terms.

Murmur 0.2.2 (4) is our first public preview: local voice dictation into the app you are using, with a compact bottom-center visualizer.

  • Quick Talk: hold your shortcut to speak, release to finish and paste, preserving a short ending buffer for the last syllable.
  • Keep Talking: listen between thoughts and finish manually or after the configured inactivity period.
  • Four responsive styles: Waveform, Aura, Aura Ring and Particle Wave. Automatic hiding, manual show/close and Always on visibility are separate controls.
  • Changeable hotkeys, microphone and language selection, local Apple Speech, Parakeet, Moonshine and Whisper Turbo, plus configurable TigerVNC paste keys.
  • Selected microphones use input-only capture, keeping system defaults and playback devices unchanged. No saved raw audio, disk transcript history, analytics or cloud fallback.

Download Murmur-0.2.2-arm64.dmg, open it and drag Murmur to Applications. Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 26 or later. The installer is Developer ID signed and Apple-notarized. Download a local model explicitly in Speech models. Enable Microphone and Accessibility for dictation and insertion; Apple Speech may also request speech permission. Updating from a development build can require renewing these permissions for the public signing identity.

Validation: default Swift checks pass (three opt-in model/file checks skipped), 79 notice documents verified against four pinned packages, Release archive/export, notarization, stapling, strict signatures, Gatekeeper and DMG integrity. Installed from the DMG, offline licenses open and preferences persist with Mic off. Built-in and USB capture with AirPods connected was established using the prior development signature; this Mac's new public-signature live capture/paste awaits renewed owner permissions. Audible Bluetooth continuity, physical shortcut checks and remote dictation remain human qualification items.
