Murmur — Turn Long Text & EPUBs into Audio You Can Listen to While Working (Offline on Mac)

Listen to articles, EPUBs, AI outputs, and drafts hands-free.

Runs 100% locally on Apple Silicon. No subscriptions. No cloud.

Stop Staring at Walls of Text

Most text-to-speech tools run in the cloud.

That means:

• Monthly subscriptions
• Usage limits
• Your content uploaded to servers
• Your text training someone else’s AI

If you work with long or sensitive text, that’s a bad deal.

Murmur Runs Entirely on Your Mac

Murmur is a native macOS app powered by Apple’s MLX framework.

It generates fast, expressive, studio-quality voices locally with no servers and no internet required.

Your text never leaves your machine.
Ever.
