No bot joins the call, and nothing is uploaded to a Mumr server. 01 ### Record Hit ⌘R. Mic plus system audio. No setup, no permissions dance. 02 ### Transcribe On your Mac, while it records. Apple Speech, WhisperKit, or Parakeet — your call. 03 ### 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. Bring your own agent ## Your meetings, ready for Claude Code or Codex Every recording lands in a folder on your Mac as plain files: the audio, the transcript, the summary, and an index of every meeting you have made. Nothing is locked inside a database, so the coding agent you already run can read all of it. Open a recording and click Claude or GPT. The agent starts already pointed at that folder, with a prompt ready to send. Ask what you agreed on Tuesday, pull every commitment you made to one client, or turn a call into a spec in the repo you are working in. The conversation happens in your agent, on your account. Mumr supplies the files and stays out of it. There is no Mumr chat and no Mumr server. Recording, transcription and summaries work today. The index and the launch buttons arrive in version 1.2.0, which is not on the App Store yet.

You stay in the conversation. ## No account No server 100% Local 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](https://mumr.app/compare/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](https://mumr.app/record-meeting-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](https://mumr.app/compare/macwhisper-alternative) and [Superwhisper](https://mumr.app/compare/superwhisper-alternative).
