Murmur is a private way to practice phone calls with realistic AI. If you hate calling doctors, offices, customer service, landlords, recruiters, or anyone you don't know, you're in the right place. A lot of us grew up texting everything. So when it's time to actually make a call, the brain just goes blank. Murmur lets you run the whole conversation first - you talk out loud, the AI talks back, and you rehearse the exact call you're scared to make. Most AI voices read at you. Murmur's coach speaks - intonation, pauses, and tone that shifts with the conversation. WHAT YOU CAN PRACTICE - Mock interviews with follow-up questions - Asking about a job application - Calling a doctor or clinic - Booking appointments - Talking to your landlord - Handling customer service - Returns, refunds, awkward conversations - Any scenario you write yourself FEATURES - A coach that sounds human - intonation, pauses, and emotion - 40+ scenarios across many categories, and you can write your own - 3 difficulty levels with different personalities and tones - Notes after every call - what worked, what to try next time - Rehearse in French, Spanish, German, and more - the coach picks up your language and switches with you - Breathing exercises to settle yourself before the real call - Your voice is never recorded or stored - streamed live during the call WHY IT HELPS Most phone anxiety comes from not knowing what the other person will say. Murmur lets you hear it ahead of time. Practice until the call stops feeling like a big deal. SUBSCRIPTION Try Murmur free. Upgrade for unlimited calls, interview prep, and advanced roleplay options.

SquadPT is the weekly PT planning board for platoons and small teams. Squad leaders plan their own week, unit-wide events land on every squad's calendar automatically, and the commander's brief prints clean in one tap. PLAN BY SQUAD • A Monday–Friday grid per squad: location, uniform, instructors, equipment, warm-up, workout, cool-down, and notes — plus a training focus for every day. • Read-only by default: flip Edit to make changes, and every save is stamped with its author. • Edits sync live to every signed-in device. PUBLISH ONCE • Events and DONSAs — AFT, company, battalion, brigade, morale — are entered once and appear on the matching days of every squad's plan. • The month calendar shows the whole unit's picture at a glance. BRIEF CLEAN • One tap turns the live plan into a ready to print brief with the unit and week header on every page. • Print it, save it as a PDF, or send it through the iOS share sheet. TEMPLATES • Save any day as a reusable template ("Ruck 6 MI", "Deck of Cards") and apply it in two taps. • Each squad keeps its own library. AFTER-ACTION, PER SOLDIER • Every soldier writes their own improves and sustains on the session they just did — under their own name, not into a shared field. • Squad leaders and above read their squad's. Nobody can edit somebody else's words, and it never appears on the printed brief. TEST RESULTS, KEPT NARROW • Record Army Fitness Test results and waist-to-height measurements for your soldiers, and see at a glance which event the squad needs to train. • Raw entries only. Point values, totals and the ratio are worked out when they are displayed and never stored, so a corrected scoring table re-scores history instead of contradicting it. • Who can see a soldier's results is enforced in the database, not in the app: that soldier, their own squad leader, and their platoon leadership. Not other squads, not company command, and not us — the operator's support view is deliberately unable to display them. • SquadPT is not a system of record. DA Form 705-AFT and your unit's ABCP screening record remain authoritative. ROLES THAT MATCH THE FORMATION • Members read; squad leaders own their squad's plan; the platoon sergeant and leadership edit everything; admins manage the roster, squads, and the join code. • A squad leader can grant a member edit access for a single month — and revoke it anytime. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Access is by team join code: created server-side, stored only as a hash, shown once, rotatable at any time. • Accounts are a username and password. No email address, no phone number — nothing to phish. • Every team's data is isolated by database-enforced access control. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. • Delete your account any time from inside the app (Profile → Delete account). A sole owner deletes the team with it; an owner with members hands off ownership first. SquadPT is a commercial planning tool for unclassified training administration. It is not a government system and not a system of record. Accounts carry a rank and last name and nothing else; beyond that, the app holds only what your unit chooses to put in it — plan content, after-action comments, and, if you use them, fitness test results and waist-to-height measurements — each visible only to the soldier and their own chain of command. New teams: request access at squadpt.com — your team's join code is delivered once a request is approved.
