Built for how you actually work
Staring at a blank doc, when it's so much easier to talk through an idea than to type a perfect first sentence.
Beat the blank page
Say the idea out loud and Mutter gives you a first draft in your own words to edit, momentum instead of a blinking cursor.
Notes faster than typing
Capture reading summaries and lecture takeaways by voice, keep up with your own thinking.
Never lose a sentence
Every dictation is saved locally the instant you finish, so a closed tab never erases your work.
Private and yours
Private mode transcribes on your Mac, your drafts and notes are never uploaded.
From idea to first draft
Intent mode turns a spoken idea into the finished email to a professor, a study outline, or a discussion post, a real draft to shape, not just a transcript.
