Murmure 1.8.0

This release introduces Voice Mode, a hands-free way to control Murmure using wake words, no keyboard needed. It also brings remote LLM server support, full settings import/export with CLI support, and dozens of improvements across shortcuts, rules, and the overall experience.

New Features

  • (Major) Voice Mode: Activate Murmure by voice with customizable wake words, no keyboard needed. Includes auto-send enter, and wake word listener stays active during keyboard-triggered recording. (#178, #187)

  • (Major) LLM Remote Servers: Connect to remote OpenAI-compatible API servers for LLM Connect, with per-mode provider switching, model search, per-mode voice triggers, and onboarding flow. (#197, #206)

  • (Major) Import/Export Settings: Import and export configuration settings partially or fully. Add CLI import support (murmure import <file>) for sysadmin mass deployment. (#212, #223)

  • Shortcuts: Add support for mouse buttons, OEM keys (-, =, [, ], ;, ', etc.), <>, F13-F24. Add a shortcut in overlay to cancel recording. (#158, #194, #218, #161)

  • Rules: Add regex support for custom rules, improve rule labels, add "?" helper for replacement text, short text correction (auto-lowercase/remove punctuation), and rule reordering. (#163, #168, #195, #170)

  • LLM: Allow LLM mode reordering. Add "Voice Dictation" preset for interpreting spoken formatting commands as typographic characters. (#180)

  • Dictionary: Add option to clear all dictionary entries. (#159)

  • About Page: Redesigned with starry background and sponsor cards. (#198)

  • Autostart: Start minimized to tray on autostart. (#201)

  • macOS: Add configurable option to show/hide application in Dock. (#226)

  • Linux: Add .deb package and install.sh one-liner script for Debian/Ubuntu. (#174)

  • Update: Update tauri-plugin-updater to 2.10.0 for multi-format support (.deb, .exe, macOS Intel).

  • Sidebar: Add "Release notes" link in sidebar footer.

  • Defaults: Improve default settings for new users (transcription in RAM, trailing space). (#187)

Bug Fixes

  • Fix overlay scrollbar on Windows (#169), overlay stealing focus (#177), overlay freeze on audio timeout (#252).
  • Fix double percentage display during download.
  • Use dark mode colors consistently. (#199)
  • Improve microphone list and keep manually selected device when disconnected (#204). Fix crash when no microphone is available (#217).
  • Improve LLM accuracy with system prompts. Improve response speed of reasoning models by disabling thinking mode. (#213)
  • Improve smart mode auto-spacing and word deduplication (parakeet fix). (#219)
  • Fix selected text detection when clipboard already contains the same content. (#229)
  • Fix ToggleToTalk accidental restart caused by X11 auto-repeat.
  • Fix spurious modifier key release on macOS after paste and recording lock management. (#241)
