What changed.

Versioned release notes. Murmur is in beta. Expect frequent shipping.

v0.5 · initial public beta

Added

• Menu-bar app with one hotkey (Right ⌘) and three modes: Quick (hold to transcribe locally), AI (double-tap to send transcript + screenshot + customisable prompt to Claude), and Silent (double-tap without speaking; Claude replies from the screenshot alone).
• First-launch setup wizard with live-polled permission cards.
• On-device Whisper transcription via Apple's MLX framework. Audio never leaves your Mac.
• Optional screen context for AI mode: a single screenshot is sent to Claude with each request and discarded.

Known limits

• macOS 12+ on Apple Silicon. Intel Macs are not supported. Transcription uses MLX, which requires Apple's Neural Engine.
• Pasting fails in apps that block synthetic keystrokes (e.g. some 1Password fields).
