Is this safe?
A fair question for anything that listens to your microphone. Here's the honest answer.
No fake buttons, ads, redirects, countdowns or bundled extras.
Who made it
Elliot, a solo developer. You can reach me at [email protected].
Where your voice goes
Nowhere. It's processed on your computer. More on the privacy page.
What it accesses, and why
- The microphone, to hear you. It's only open while you dictate, unless you turn on Keep microphone warm.
- A keyboard shortcut listener, to know when you hold the hotkey.
- Device Control and Data Access on a Mac (called Accessibility on older macOS), to notice the hotkey and type into other apps.
What it doesn't do
- No keystroke logging. It only reacts to its own shortcuts, and stores no keys.
- No screen capture.
- No uploading your voice.
- No selling data. There are no analytics in the app at all.

Easy to remove
Changed your mind? murmrrr has an Uninstall button on its About tab that removes everything.
About those warnings
Windows may show a SmartScreen warning and macOS may say the app is from an unidentified developer. That's because murmrrr isn't code-signed yet, not because something is wrong. Here's how to get past each one.
