Everything you need to know about mrmr, the voice-first interface for macOS.

What is mrmr? +

mrmr is a voice-first Mac app with two modes: a voice agent that takes confirmed actions across your work apps, the web, and your Mac, plus system-wide dictation that turns speech into polished text.

What is Agent Mode? +

Agent Mode is a continuous voice agent. Press fn + shift and just talk. It listens, talks back, and takes action across your connected apps (like creating a Linear ticket and posting the link in Slack), searches the web, and works with files and reminders on your Mac. It confirms before it sends, creates, or changes anything.

Does mrmr run actions automatically? +

No. Reads and searches happen freely, but anything that writes to your apps or your Mac is shown to you first. You can edit the details, and nothing runs until you approve.

What is Dictation Mode? +

Hold fn, speak, release, and polished text appears at your cursor in any app. It cleans up filler words and punctuation automatically. Use fn + space for hands-free dictation.

Is this just dictation? +

No. Dictation is included and works system-wide, but the heart of mrmr is Agent Mode: using your voice to get real work done across apps and your Mac.

Which integrations are live? +

The private beta currently supports Slack, Linear, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Google Meet, Zoom, Notion, Gmail, Cal.com, Calendly, Attio, Apple Reminders, and GitHub, plus built-in web search and on-Mac tools like file search and your browser history and bookmarks. More are on the way.

How is Agent Mode different from Siri or a one-shot voice command? +

It's a real conversation. The agent asks clarifying questions, chains multiple steps across apps, reads results back, and lets you correct course mid-task, and it confirms before anything is written.

Can the agent work on something in the background? +

Yes. Hand bigger tasks (research, summaries, multi-step lookups) to a background sub-agent and keep talking while it works. Ask for the status anytime, and every run is saved in the app so you can come back to the result later.

Is my audio private? +

The microphone only opens when you trigger mrmr; there's no always-on listening. Audio is processed in real time to power transcription and the agent; we never store recordings or use them for training.

Does mrmr work offline? +

No. Both modes need an internet connection for transcription and the agent.

Is it safe to connect my Slack and Linear accounts? +

Yes. mrmr uses OAuth for all integrations; we never see or store your passwords. Permissions are scoped to only what's needed, and you can revoke access at any time from your account settings in each app.

What permissions does mrmr need on my Mac? +

mrmr needs Accessibility permission (to insert text at your cursor) and Microphone access (to capture your voice). All standard macOS permission prompts, and nothing runs in the background without your knowledge.

Who is private beta for? +

The beta is best suited for Mac users who work in Slack, Linear, and Google Calendar and are comfortable giving feedback on an early product.

How do I get access? +

mrmr is in private beta. Join the waitlist and we'll send access as spots open up. For the fastest path, book a 20-minute setup call.

What languages does mrmr support? +

mrmr currently supports English. Multi-language support is on the roadmap. If you need a specific language, let us know and we'll prioritize accordingly.

How much does mrmr cost? +

mrmr is in private beta. Pricing will be announced before paid plans launch, with founder pricing for early beta users.
