Ask

Put a question to everything you have already dictated, written and recorded — and get an answer built from your own words, on your own machine.

  • It reads all three of your archives. Dictations, Scratchpad notes and meeting transcripts are searched together, so "what did we agree in the standup, and what is still blocking the launch?" can answer half from a transcript and half from a note.
  • Every claim is cited. Answers carry numbered chips back to the exact dictation, note or meeting they came from, with the passage quoted underneath and one click through to it.
  • It says when it does not know. If your archive does not contain the answer, Ask says so instead of inventing one. That is a first-class outcome, not a failure.
  • Questions can name a period. "What did I say this week?" really does search the last seven days — and if nothing is there, it widens rather than pretending your archive is empty.
  • Conversations are kept. Named from your first question, searchable by what was said in them rather than by title, and they reopen exactly where you left them.
  • Dictation always wins. Ask and polishing share one local model. If you hold your hotkey while an answer is streaming, the dictation takes the model immediately and the answer quietly restarts — your words never wait behind a chat.

Nothing about this leaves the device: the same bundled llama.cpp server that polishes your speech is what answers, over loopback. Ask therefore needs a polishing model — pick one in Models and turn Polishing on in Settings; the pane tells you if it is missing.

Also in this release

  • The Hub sidebar and the Ask conversation list both collapse — ⌘\ folds the sidebar to an icon rail, and both remember how you left them.

Speech and polishing servers are bundled, so a fresh install can transcribe once you download a model from the Hub.

macOS is signed with a Developer ID and notarised, so it opens normally.

Windows is not signed. SmartScreen will warn: More info → Run anyway. Murmur asks to watch your keyboard and type into other applications, so only accept that if you trust this build — building from source sidesteps it.

Linux needs an X11 session (not Wayland) and glibc 2.39+ — Ubuntu 24.04+, Debian 13+, Fedora 40+.
