About Murmur
Murmur is a voice dictation gadget for Linux. Press a hotkey, speak, and text appears at your cursor — in any application. It's powered by whisper.cpp for fast, accurate, 100% offline transcription.
Voice dictation on other platforms has been polished for years. We wanted to bring that same quality to Linux — a native Rust/Tauri app that's 3MB, starts instantly, and actually looks good on your desktop.
Open source commitment
Murmur is free and open source under the GPL v3 license. The core app — local whisper transcription, all skins, push-to-talk, text injection — will always be free with no limits.
A Pro tier is planned for power users who want cloud STT speed (<200ms via Groq/Deepgram), LLM text cleanup, multi-language support (99+ languages), and a CLI mode for scripting. The free tier is not a trial — it's the complete product.
