The sovereign terminal chat app.
Direct. Encrypted. Fast.
Murmur connects your terminal directly to peers over multiplexed QUIC datagrams. No corporate servers reading your messages, no Electron memory leaks, and sub-millisecond Ratatui rendering.
cargo install murmur-cli
Claim Your Sovereign Handle
Check handle availability in real-time. The registry strictly stores your unique username mapped to your peer ID—zero IP addresses are ever recorded.
Built for Speed and Sovereignty
Sub-Milli Keystroke Render
Powered by native Ratatui 0.30 and Crossterm. Every keystroke renders instantly into the terminal buffer with 0ms input latency.
Zero Cloud Message Storage
Your conversations flow directly from machine to machine. The registry only resolves handle collisions—your chats never touch a server disk.
98% Less RAM Than Electron
While conventional chat apps burn half a gigabyte of RAM running Chromium, Murmur runs as a single lean, statically compiled Rust binary.
QUIC Connection Migration
Transition seamlessly between home Wi-Fi and mobile 5G. QUIC connection migration keeps your chat streams alive without reconnect drops.
