Murble is available for iPhone, iPad, Apple silicon Macs, and Android phones and tablets. Get Android from Google Play. Steps and screenshots in this guide show the iPhone version. Engines and system integrations depend on the device and platform. For Android sync and diagnostics, see the Android privacy policy and support.
Two engines, one rule
Murble can write a summary two ways, and the rule that governs both is the same: the text never leaves the device to get written.
- Apple Intelligence. On a supported Apple device, Murble can use Apple's on device model. Nothing to download, and it is the fastest path.
- A local model you download. On Apple devices and Android, you can install a compact language model inside the app. It then runs entirely on the device, including with no connection.
If neither is available, Murble tells you why and offers the download. It does not fall back to a crude word frequency trick and present the result as a summary, because a summary you cannot trust is worse than none.
From recording to minutes, step by step
-
Make sure a summary engine is available
On a supported Apple device, Apple Intelligence can provide the summary engine. Otherwise open Settings → Offline AI summaries and download a model. Murble recommends the largest one your device can comfortably run, and marks anything too large for the available memory as unavailable rather than letting you install something that will crawl.
-
Record or import the note
Record in the app, or import an audio file you already have. Transcription happens first, on the device, because the summary is written from the transcript rather than from the audio.
-
Read the summary
Murble writes an overview, stars the highlights and lists the key points. Four styles are available: brief, standard, detailed and action plan. You can also have the summary written in a language other than the one spoken in the recording.
Summaries are free, for every note, with no monthly allowance.
-
Work the action items
Sentences like “Marta will roll it out to all new users starting Monday” become checkable to-dos without any tagging on your part. Check them off in the app, or add your own. Sending the list to Apple Reminders, with completion syncing both ways, is a Pro extra on supported Apple devices PRO.
-
Generate a report when you need minutes
A report PRO turns the note into a structured write up: overview, decisions, details, action items and next steps. Export it as PDF, Markdown, RTF and more, or regenerate it later as the note changes. You can also ask the note questions in the chat tab PRO, and get answers grounded in what was actually said.
Which local model your device can run
Language models trade size for quality, and a device has a memory budget the app must respect. The Apple version offers four model sizes and checks which ones fit your device. Android also offers local models; the selection depends on its available engines and memory.
The model sizes below describe the Apple version. Check Settings in Android for its available engines and downloads.
| Model | Size | What the app says |
|---|---|---|
| Nano | about 400 MB | Smallest and fastest, runs on any supported device |
| Compact | about 1.1 GB | Fast, with solid quality |
| Balanced | about 1.9 GB | Sharper results, needs more memory |
| Maximum | about 2.4 GB | Best quality, slowest, high memory devices only |
Automatic selection stops at Balanced. Maximum is a deliberate opt in for people who want the best result and accept the wait. A model too large for the device is shown as unavailable with a suggestion to pick a smaller one.
What is free and what is Pro

Pro is $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year or $59.99 once. If Pro lapses, your notes, transcripts, summaries and local tasks stay readable; only the five extras switch off. Full detail on the pricing section.
Honest limitations
- A model is required, and it is a real download. Without Apple Intelligence you need a local model, from about 400 MB to about 2.4 GB. Murble will say so plainly and offer the download rather than producing something that looks like a summary but is not one.
- Your device decides the ceiling. On a device with less memory, the larger models are simply unavailable. The smallest model writes shorter, blunter summaries than the largest, and that gap is real.
- On iPhone and iPad, generation pauses when you leave the app. The system reclaims the GPU as soon as Murble goes to the background, so a summary in progress parks at its last checkpoint and resumes when you come back. It does not fail, but it does not finish while you are elsewhere either.
- Speed is your device's speed. A long meeting summarized by the largest local model takes noticeably longer than a server would, and the device warms up.
- Models get things wrong. A summary can miss a decision or overstate one, and a detected action item can be a sentence that only sounded like a commitment. Treat the output as a first draft over a transcript you can check line by line, not as a record of what was said.
- Pro adds more tools. Chat, reports, translations and private sync are Pro. Apple Reminders sync is also Pro on supported Apple devices. Summaries and action items are not, and are not capped.
- Storage adds up. A speech model, a summary model, the audio and the transcripts all live on the device.
