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.
