Murmur lets you start a thread right where you are. Anyone nearby can read it and reply, and when its time is up, it melts away. Murmur also draws where you went each day as a snake, like the classic game, and keeps it only on your iPhone. THREADS ON THE MAP • Say what's happening here, add up to 3 tags, and choose whether it melts in 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days • People nearby see your thread on the map and can reply, like it and follow it. Every new reply keeps it alive a little longer • In each thread, everyone is a little emoji and a name, like "Sea Otter", and a different one in every thread. If you like, pick your own emoji and name for that one thread • No profiles, and no way to look up who posted what • Save lenses for the area, time and tags you want to see • Get a notification when a thread you follow has a new reply KEEPING IT KIND • For people 18 and over, one account per person • Threads, replies and chosen names are checked automatically before they go up. Clear violations can't be posted; threads and replies that might break the rules wait "Under review" until a person has looked at them • Report any thread or reply, and block anyone. Reports are handled within 24 hours • Content that breaks the community guidelines is removed, and accounts can be suspended YOUR DAY AS A SNAKE • Turn on recording and get on with your day. When you're back, today's route is on the map: walking, running, cycling, driving and the metro each have their own emoji, and the places you stopped are fruit • Tap the map to go full screen, and drag the timeline to see where you were at any hour • Switch to Snake to see the same day drawn square by square on a blank page • On the calendar, every day you recorded is a little snake • Swap any of the five emoji, or draw a solid, classic snake. Pick one of eight pens • Export a day as an image to share, or as a GPX file • Haven't been out yet? Tap "See a sample day" on today's trail to see a Taipei commute. The sample never goes into your trail PRIVACY • Sign in with Apple. We never get your name or email • A thread's location is blurred to about 150 m and shows up after 0–3 minutes. Your precise location is never stored • About 24 hours after a thread melts, it's permanently deleted from our server. Reported content is the exception: it's kept for up to 90 days for review • Before threads, replies and chosen names go up, their text is checked by Anthropic's AI moderation service. Only the text is sent, never your account or location • Your trail stays on your iPhone. It's never sent to us, and it's left out of iCloud and computer backups • No ads, no tracking, no analytics • Delete your account anytime in Me GOOD TO KNOW • To use Murmur, sign in with Apple, confirm you're 18 or older, and agree to the terms of use and community guidelines • Starting a thread needs Precise Location • To record a whole day, set Location to "Always". Recording uses location in the background, which uses more battery; Battery Saver mode in Trail settings uses much less • Requires an iPhone with iOS 17 or later Terms of use: https://murmur-melt.pages.dev/en/terms/ Community guidelines: https://murmur-melt.pages.dev/en/guidelines/ Privacy policy: https://murmur-melt.pages.dev/en/privacy/ Support: https://murmur-melt.pages.dev/en/support/ ## Is Murmur safe?
