Capture
High-quality speech capture on iPhone, Mac, and Watch. Background recording keeps going when you switch apps or lock the screen. Action Button and Siri Shortcuts support so you can start a capture without opening the app.
Product
Capture, clean, structure, ship
Murmr is built around three steps: reliable voice capture, on-device refinement that doesn’t change your meaning, and templates that match how you actually work. No cloud required, no fluff.
Clean
On-device refinement with Apple Foundation Models: punctuation, capitalization, filler removal. Meaning is preserved; the model doesn’t paraphrase or hallucinate. You get readable text that still sounds like you.
Transform
Templates turn the refined transcript into structured output. Title generation, metadata, tags, priority, location, time, weather, and formats like Given/When/Then for GitHub. Bundled templates for Obsidian, dev logs, issues, and Slack; custom templates sync via iCloud.
Feature set
What’s included
Everything runs on your device. iCloud sync is optional and stays inside your private container.
Privacy-first by design
Murmr runs capture and refinement on Apple frameworks. No third-party speech-to-text services and no cloud LLM routing.
Fast capture flow
Use a global hotkey on macOS and move from voice to polished text in seconds, without opening a heavy editor.
Smart refinement
Raw dictation is refined with grammar and punctuation so the output is ready to paste immediately.
Clipboard and auto-paste
On macOS, Murmr can place refined text on the clipboard and paste into the frontmost app when permissions are enabled.
Private iCloud sync
Entries sync across Apple devices using CloudKit in the user’s private iCloud container.
iCloud Drive export friendly
Murmr can export text files into iCloud Drive for automation and document workflows.
Watch capture + iPhone refinement
Capture quick dictation on Apple Watch, then continue refinement and review on iPhone or Mac.
Prompt-ready output
Use refined text in markdown notes, docs, and AI prompt workflows for Claude, Codex, and other tools.
Templates that match your workflow
Bundled templates for Obsidian, dev logs, GitHub issues, and Slack. Custom templates with metadata, tags, and routing.
Obsidian, Shortcuts, and more
Deep links and Shortcuts support so structured output can land in Obsidian, Logseq, or any app that accepts text.
Who it’s for
Built for real workflows
Murmr fits into the tools you already use: Obsidian, GitHub, Ghost, markdown-based systems, or anything that accepts text. The goal is to remove friction between idea and output, not to replace your stack.
Developers
Stand-ups, dev logs, bug capture, architecture notes.
Typing slows thinking and context switching kills flow. Murmr lets you speak the update once and get a structured daily note or stand-up summary ready to drop into Obsidian or your wiki.
Product & QA
Logging bugs while testing builds.
Dictate what you saw, and get a GitHub-ready issue with title, priority, and Given/When/Then steps. No more manual reformatting before hitting submit.
Creators & bloggers
Drafting posts while walking, driving, or hiking.
Ideas often vanish before you reach a keyboard. Capture them in speech, clean and structure them on-device, and get a tagged, dated draft ready to import into Ghost, WordPress, or your editor.
Collectors
Logging new acquisitions.
Quick dictation becomes a structured collection entry: condition, price, source, notes. Same flow for vinyl, books, retro games, or any inventory you keep.
Small business
Stock logging and marketing copy.
One dictation can feed both an inventory record and a short social post. Murmr doesn’t lock you into one output; templates define what you need and where it goes.
