Read the full description
Every dictation app wants a subscription, a word limit, or your audio on someone else's server. Murmur doesn't. Hold Right Option, speak, release. The text lands at your cursor in whatever app you're already in. Apple SpeechAnalyzer runs on-device, so the default is free, private and works offline. Want more accuracy or Hinglish? Bring your own key and pay the provider directly.

Yes This is a native macOS dictation app that uses a global hotkey and Apple's on-device SpeechAnalyzer, then inserts text at the cursor. All of it is standard Swift and Apple API work that vibe coding handles well.
