If you’re new to Murmr or evaluating the app, this is a good place to start. For TestFlight-specific issues, see the dedicated helper page.
Transcription and cleanup run on your devices using Apple speech and Foundation Models. We do not run a cloud backend for your audio or text, and iCloud sync stays inside your Apple ID. Once you export or share content from Murmr (e.g. to Obsidian, another app, or the clipboard), it is outside Murmr’s control.
Murmr runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, with iCloud sync inside your private container. On Mac you need macOS 26 or later. On iPhone, on-device refinement uses Apple Intelligence, so you need a device that supports it: iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 or newer. You can start a capture from the main app, widgets, the Action Button, or Shortcuts depending on your device. For iPad and Apple Watch, check the app or TestFlight notes for the latest model requirements.
Murmr is built to work primarily on-device. You can capture, refine, and apply templates offline. Some integrations and sync flows may require occasional connectivity.
Templates define the shape of the note Murmr produces from your transcript: sections, headings, metadata (date, tags, priority), and formats like dev logs, GitHub issues, or Slack-style bullets. You choose a template per capture or use a default. Bundled templates cover common workflows; custom templates sync via iCloud across your devices.
Destinations are where the rendered output goes after you apply a template. Murmr can send directly into an Obsidian vault (native support), to the system Share Sheet for other apps, or to the clipboard. You pick the destination when saving or sharing, so the same capture can feed different apps depending on the task.
Yes. Obsidian is supported natively: you can send formatted notes straight into your vault via deep links and destinations, with first-class behaviour for templates and metadata. More note-taking platforms (e.g. Logseq, Notion) are planned and will be added subject to time and demand. The Share Sheet and copy/paste work with any app that accepts text today.
Yes. You can join the Murmr beta via TestFlight. See the TestFlight helper page for installation and troubleshooting steps.
