What it does
Mumr is a free Mac meeting recorder that captures any call — your mic plus the meeting's system audio — transcribes it on your Mac, and turns it into clean meeting notes with the AI you choose. No bot joins the call, and nothing is uploaded to a Mumr server.
Record
Hit ⌘R. Mic plus system audio. No setup, no permissions dance.
Transcribe
On your Mac, while it records. Apple Speech, WhisperKit, or Parakeet — your call.
Summarise
A clean recap with action items, in seconds. Pick the AI — Apple Intelligence, your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, or a local CLI you trust.
Why local
- Audio never leaves your device.
- No Mumr account, no Mumr servers, no cloud sync.
- Local models. Apple Silicon native.
Never take meeting notes again
Mumr captures the call, transcribes it on your Mac, and writes the recap. You stay in the conversation.

Recording and transcription never leave your Mac. The only thing that ever goes online is the summary, and only when you point it at a cloud model you picked.
FAQ
Questions you might have
Where do my recordings live?
In a folder you choose on first launch — typically ~/Documents/Mumr. Audio files, transcripts, and summaries all stay there. You can change the location in Settings.
Does it work fully offline?
Capture and transcription always stay on your Mac. Summarisation is your choice — Apple Intelligence and the local-CLI backends stay offline; the Anthropic and OpenAI backends use their own APIs (your account, your key, your data path). The only network access Mumr itself makes is an optional anonymous crash report — you can disable it in Settings.
What macOS versions are supported?
macOS 15 or later, Apple Silicon recommended. Foundation Models summarisation requires Apple Silicon and macOS 26 — older Macs fall back to a non-LLM extractive summary.
How does transcription work?
Three local engines, your choice: Apple Speech (built in, instant), WhisperKit (Whisper, Metal-accelerated), or FluidAudio Parakeet TDT v3 (highest accuracy on Apple Silicon).
Will you ever add cloud sync?
Not in v1. If it ever ships, it'll be optional sync through your own iCloud account — Mumr will never run a cloud of its own, and there will never be a Mumr account to sign into.
Will it stay free?
Yes. v1 is free, no subscription, no in-app purchases. A future Pro tier may add a managed AI option for people who don't want to bring their own key — the existing free path will stay free.
Is Mumr open source?
Not yet. Considering it. If we open-source, we'll announce on the changelog.
Is Mumr a free Granola alternative?
Yes — Mumr is a free, local alternative to Granola and other AI meeting notetakers. It records the meeting, transcribes it on your Mac, and writes the summary with the AI you choose, with no bot joining the call and no Mumr cloud. See the full Granola alternative comparison.
Can I record a Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet call on my Mac without a bot joining?
Yes. Mumr captures the meeting's system audio plus your microphone directly on your Mac, so nothing joins the participant list and no recorder bot appears. It works the same for Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex — see how to record a meeting on a Mac.
How is Mumr different from MacWhisper or Superwhisper?
MacWhisper and Superwhisper are excellent general-purpose transcription and dictation tools, but recording meeting (system) audio and the larger models are paid. Mumr is free and purpose-built for meetings. Compare MacWhisper and Superwhisper.
