mrmr is a voice-first Mac app with two main modes:
- Dictation turns speech into polished text in whichever app has your cursor.
- Agent Mode listens to a request and can find information or take approved action across your connected apps and Mac.
Complete setup
When you first open mrmr, the setup flow walks through five steps:
- Sign in or create your account.
- Review Dictation and Agent Mode.
- Grant Microphone and Accessibility access.
- Connect at least one supported app.
- Confirm or change your Agent Mode hotkey, then try a command.
Microphone access is required for both voice modes. Accessibility access lets mrmr detect its global shortcuts and insert dictated text into other apps.
You can review either permission later under General → Permissions in mrmr. macOS permission changes happen in System Settings → Privacy & Security.
Try Dictation
- Put your cursor in any editable text field.
- Hold Fn and speak.
- Release Fn when you finish.
mrmr transcribes, polishes, and inserts the text at your cursor. The default Dictation hotkey is Fn, but you can change it under Voice → Dictation mode → Hotkey.
Try Agent Mode
- Press Fn + Shift.
- Ask for information or an action, such as “What is on my calendar today?”
- Review any confirmation mrmr shows before it changes external data.
- Press the hotkey again to close the session.
The displayed hotkey in your app is authoritative if you changed the default. Change it under Voice → Agent mode → Hotkey.
