About

Wumble

Features
Read full description

wumble is a native voice chat client for Mumble, the open, self-hosted voice protocol communities have run their own servers on for years. You connect to a server your community runs. FEATURES • Push-to-talk. Hold to talk, release to stop, with a visible transmitting state so you always know when you're live. • The real Mumble protocol. wumble connects to any Mumble 1.5 server over an encrypted TLS control channel with encrypted voice, the protocol your server already runs. • Background voice. Keep talking while you check a map, switch apps, or lock your screen. • Bluetooth and wired headset routing. wumble picks up your headset automatically and gives you a one-tap speaker and earpiece toggle when you're not wearing one. • Mic boost and incoming volume. Lift a quiet microphone or a quiet channel without touching your phone's system volume. • Multiple saved servers. Switch between your community's server, a friend group's server, and anywhere else you connect. Passwords live in your device's secure keychain. • A full channel tree and text chat. Search channels, see who's online and who's talking, and drop a message without leaving voice. • Self-signed servers welcome. Most Mumble servers run on a certificate they generated themselves, and wumble shows you its fingerprint to confirm. WHO IT'S FOR wumble works well for raid groups, flight sim wings, ham radio nets, study groups, or any community that would rather talk on a server it controls. If yours hasn't set one up yet, several free and open source Mumble server projects will get you running quickly. PRIVACY Voice and control traffic are encrypted between you and your server. wumble doesn't run any servers of its own and has no visibility into your conversations. Connecting needs no account, just the server your community already uses.
