Murmure's privacy policy says that on startup the app checks for updates by contacting its updater endpoint, which is hosted on GitHub, and that other network features are opt-in.

In the source's own words
“On startup, Murmure checks for updates by contacting the configured updater endpoint (currently hosted on GitHub). ... Other network features are opt-in (downloading updates, enabling the local HTTP API, or connecting to an LLM endpoint you configured).”
Privacy Policy (Murmure), Kieirra, Murmure project, GitHub repository, 2026, Summary.
Open the original- What it measures
- The policy separates the update check, which runs on startup, from features the user must switch on, such as downloading updates, the local HTTP API and a connection to a language model endpoint the user configures.
- What it does not show
- The policy names the update check but does not give its request contents in the passage. Dictation itself is described as processed on the device, so the startup check is the network contact the policy names.
