Murmura turns your PDFs, EPUBs, and lecture notes into a beautifully narrated audiobook — with word-by-word highlighting that keeps you in the page. Your documents never leave your device.
Audible-class narration, Kindle-class typography, and a privacy posture that respects you. Built for the way you actually read.
Drop in any PDF, EPUB, or plain text — research papers, lecture notes, novels, your own manuscript. No DRM, no library lock-in.
Studio-quality voices in dozens of languages and accents. Switch voice mid-book; cached audio re-uses without re-billing.
Every word lights up the instant it's spoken. Tap any word to jump there. Designed by an engineer who refused to ship "close enough".
Documents stay on your device and your private iCloud. Narration text is processed and immediately discarded — only an irreversible hash is kept for caching.
Lock the phone, switch apps, take a call — narration keeps going. Lock-screen controls and CarPlay give you a true audiobook experience.
Reading progress and bookmarks ride iCloud across all your Apple devices. Open on Mac, finish on iPhone, never lose your place.
No accounts to create, no waiting for upload, no waiting for processing. Murmura streams the first words within a second of tapping play.
Pick a PDF, EPUB, or plain text from Files, Mail, or iCloud. Murmura parses chapters, headings, and paragraphs automatically.
Choose from 47 neural voices across English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Mandarin, and more. Preview before you commit.
Tap play. Words light up in sync. Adjust speed, scrub the timeline, or tap any word to seek. Audio is cached for instant offline replay.
No subscriptions. No upsells. No "Pro+ Premium". You buy Murmura once and own it on every Apple device you sign in with.
Try Murmura with two free voices and a generous monthly listening allowance.
Unlimited everything, forever. No renewal, no surprise charges.
No. Your documents stay on your device and (optionally) your private iCloud. When you press play, only the text needed for that exact playback is sent to the narration service, and it is immediately discarded once the audio is generated. We keep an irreversible hash so we can re-serve the same audio without re-billing — never the text itself. Read the full privacy policy.
PDF, EPUB, and plain text (UTF-8). Murmura parses chapters, headings, paragraphs, lists, and quotes automatically so the narration matches the document's structure.
Yes. The first time a passage is played, the audio is cached locally. Every subsequent listen — including in airplane mode — plays instantly from your device.
Yes. Murmura is a true universal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Your library, bookmarks, and reading progress sync via iCloud across all of them.
No. Murmura is free to try forever, and Murmura Pro is a single one-time purchase. You will never see a renewal charge or a paywall on a feature you already paid for.
Lifetime is a one-time purchase, so there is nothing to cancel. Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. We never gate refunds — if Murmura isn't for you, ask Apple, no questions asked.
Apple's built-in voices are robotic and there's no real word-by-word highlighting, no chapter-aware navigation, and no library. Murmura uses studio-quality neural voices, structures the document like a real ebook reader, and gives you a player that feels like Audible on top of files you already own.
Stop choosing between reading and listening. Get Murmura on every Apple device you own — for one price, forever.
