Agent Mode

Talk to mrmr, search connected work, run actions safely, and review completed agent sessions.

Verified July 3, 2026 · Applies to mrmr 0.45.0 and later

Agent Mode is mrmr’s conversational voice interface. It can answer questions, search connected work, use public web information, control supported Mac functions, run scripts, and take action in connected apps.

Start a session

  1. Press your Agent Mode hotkey. The default is Fn + Shift.
  2. Speak your request normally.
  3. Continue the conversation if mrmr needs clarification.
  4. Press the hotkey again to close the session.

The floating panel stays above your current work without taking keyboard focus. Change the hotkey and speaking voice under Voice → Agent mode.

Ask effective commands

State the desired outcome and include the details you already know:

  • “Send the design channel a message that review starts at 2.”
  • “What is on my calendar tomorrow afternoon?”
  • “Create a Linear bug for the mobile login crash and assign it to me.”
  • “Find recent public information about the company and summarize it.”
  • “Pause my music.”

For names such as channels, people, projects, lists, or calendars, mrmr uses connected workspace data to find the relevant item. It may ask you to choose when multiple matches are plausible.

Reads and writes

Read-only actions, such as listing calendar events or searching messages, can return immediately.

Actions that send, create, update, delete, or otherwise change data require confirmation. Review the confirmation card, then approve or reject it. mrmr will not treat silence as approval.

Results in the panel

Short results can be spoken. Lists, tables, schedules, and longer answers can appear as formatted content in the expanded panel while mrmr speaks a brief summary.

Supported capabilities

Agent Mode can use:

  • Connected cloud apps from Integrations.
  • Apple Reminders, after granting local permission.
  • Public web search and supported browser search.
  • Supported system actions, such as opening an app or controlling media.
  • Trusted scripts from your Agent Folder.
  • Sub-agents for longer, self-contained tasks.

Availability depends on the connected app and the permissions granted to it.

Review previous sessions

Open Agents → Agent Runs. Each completed session can show:

  • The conversation transcript.
  • Tools that were used.
  • Approved or rejected writes.
  • Delegated work.
  • A formatted result and usage details when available.

Usage limits

Dictation is unlimited. Agent Mode includes up to 60 minutes of active agent response time per day and 10 hours per month. Open Account from your profile in the sidebar to see remaining daily and monthly usage.

The meter counts active response generation, not the full amount of time that the Agent Mode window is open.
