Murmur

A Realistic, Offline & Unlimited Text-to-Speech App for Mac

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.

    I 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
