Murmur

Private AI dictation for Mac: hold right ⌘ and talk

Hold the right ⌘ key and speak to have polished text appear in any app where you can type, such as Mail, Slack, ChatGPT, Xcode, and Terminal. It offers intelligent voice editing, removes fillers, corrects speech, and works completely offline without sending data to the cloud. The app supports up to 3 Macs per license, includes free updates for version 1, and comes with a generous free trial of 2,000 words. Priced at a one-time fee of $19, it emphasizes privacy and convenience by running entirely on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 26 and using Apple's on-device speech and AI models.
