## Apps

- [Murmur](https://zeroseat.co/murmur/): Menu bar push-to-talk dictation for macOS 15+ on Apple Silicon. Hold Option-D (configurable), speak, release, and the text is pasted at the cursor. Fully on-device using NVIDIA Parakeet TDT (about 25 languages); no network after a one-time ~470 MB model download. Also writes meeting transcripts: offers to transcribe Google Meet calls (mic + the other side, Meet audio only), or any call started from the menu, saved as Markdown in ~/Documents/Murmur Meetings.
