Local-first voice assistant. You mutter things, it captures them.
Mutter sits in your macOS menu bar. Press Cmd+Shift+M, say something, and it figures out what to do with it. No wake words, no cloud. MLX Whisper handles speech-to-text locally, an LLM in LM Studio routes your speech into tasks, notes, or queries against your own knowledge base.
There's also a dictate mode (Cmd+Shift+;) that transcribes your speech and puts it straight on your clipboard. No routing, no classification, just voice to text.
I kept losing thoughts mid-coding-session. The friction of opening a todo app was enough to lose the idea. Mutter removes that: hotkey, talk, done.
Part of a bigger picture: Hive for orchestration, Unplug for defense, Mutter for voice. Each one explores a different facet of making AI work locally.
Python rumps (menu bar), MLX Whisper (STT), LM Studio (LLM), ChromaDB (vectors), SQLite (tasks), FastAPI (server). CLI: mutter tasks, mutter notes, mutter ask "..."
