What it does
Murmur is a native macOS text-to-speech app that runs entirely on your Mac. Unlike cloud-based TTS tools, Murmur works offline, collects zero data, and has no usage limits. What makes Murmur different: – 🔐 100% offline & private – ♾ Unlimited usage (no subscriptions, no quotas) – 🎙️ Realistic, expressive voices – 🖥️ Built natively for macOS This is a tool, not a service. You buy it once and it runs on your machine — forever.
Murmur — Text-to-Speech That Runs on Your MacPaste text, pick a voice, hit Generate. Out comes a WAV or M4A file. Everything happens on your machine. Nothing gets sent anywhere.What it doesYou give it text. It gives you audio. Murmur runs on Apple Silicon using the MLX framework, so there's no server to connect to, no account to create, and no cap on how much you generate.Import a PDF, paste an ar

Ghost Pepper – Local hold-to-talk speech-to-text for macOSApr 2026 · github.com · ▲467I built this because I wanted to see how far I could get with a voice-to-text app that used 100% local models so no data left my computer. I've been using a ton for coding and emails. Experimenting with using it as a voice interface for my other agents too. 100% open-source MIT license, would love feedback, PRs, and ideas on where to take it.

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
