Murmur

Hands-free voice conversations with Claude Code

Launch App Download

Launch App opens the web UI — requires the desktop app running in the background.

What you get

Voice Input

Speak naturally -- local Whisper STT transcribes on-device with zero cloud latency. Auto-listen detects speech and starts recording hands-free.

Voice Output

Responses read aloud via local Kokoro TTS. 60+ voices, adjustable speed (0.5x--3x), paragraph-level highlighting as Claude speaks.

Live Terminal

Watch Claude Code working in real-time. Full ANSI color, scrollback, arrow key navigation, and interactive prompt detection.

4 Interaction Modes

Talk (full voice), Type (type in, hear back), Read (speak in, read response), and Text (keyboard only). Switch with one tap.

Cross-Platform Desktop

macOS and Windows via Electron. Floats above all windows, draggable header, visible on all workspaces. Auto-updates from GitHub.

Auto-Updating

Content updates (UI, server logic) pulled from GitHub on every launch. Shell updates via GitHub Releases. Always current, zero effort.

Getting Started

Download, open, talk. That's it.

1

Download and Open

Download the app for macOS or Windows. Open it -- Murmur checks for prerequisites, starts a Claude Code session, and connects automatically. A guided tour walks you through all controls on first launch.

2

Talk or Type

Tap the talk button or press Right Cmd to start recording. Speak your request, release to send. Claude's response appears as conversation bubbles and is read aloud. Or just type in the text input.

3

Choose Your Mode

Tap the mode button to cycle between Talk, Type, Read, and Text. Each mode adjusts mic and speaker behavior. Expand the terminal panel to see Claude's full output and navigate with arrow keys.
