A few quiet answers.
Does Murmur work offline?
Local dictation works on your Mac after setup and the speech model download. The initial download, model downloads, and update checks use the network. Optional cloud routes need their configured service.
Is everything always processed locally?
Transcription and cleanup are local by default. You can explicitly configure cloud transcription or cleanup. Review the destination and disclosure in Settings before enabling a cloud route.
Can I use it for meetings, too?
Murmur includes meeting capture with separate choices for transcription and notes. Start recording yourself, review the capture source, and notify participants before recording.
Where can I follow along or report a problem?
Follow development on GitHub or open an issue. Never include API keys or private recordings in a report.
