Connect with other Murmur users through a shared-key QR invitation or private ECDH pairing. Both participants need Murmur and the matching key or completed pairing. Murmur prepares messages; you choose when to send them in your chat app. Type in 11 languages: English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Spanish, Russian, Arabic, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, and Korean. All 12 keyboard language options are free. Use offline dictionaries, optional local word learning, keyboard size controls, and light or dark appearance.
