Linux has had good options for almost everything, except voice dictation. Other platforms have had polished tools for years. We wanted to fix that.
Murmur Free is for privacy-conscious and everyday users. It runs whisper.cpp entirely on your machine. 100% offline, no account needed, open source under GPL v3. Murmur Pro is for professionals and power users who want optional cloud engines (Groq, Deepgram) for faster, more accurate transcription. Cloud features are opt-in; the local engine continues to run fully offline.
We built Murmur because we wanted something we'd actually use ourselves, every day. Something that worked quietly, respected the user, and didn't try to be clever about monetisation. Local first. No telemetry. No dark patterns. The free version is genuinely free. Pro funds continued open source development.
A solo developer sharing a solution to a problem they faced. No investors, no VC, no growth hacking. Just the app. hello@murmurlinux.com
