Do you need an account?
Yes during the private beta. Apply for founding access first; approved writers receive an invite code, create an account with Apple, Google, or email, and then see the Mac download on the signed-in account page. A free account gets you 10,000 local words every month at no cost. Pro is the same account, upgraded to a paid subscription that removes the local cap and adds the cloud engine.
Managing Pro
Pro is offered as a monthly or yearly subscription. When Pro is live, you manage payment and renewal through the billing portal linked from the account section. Switching between monthly and yearly, updating a card, and viewing invoices all happen there.
Beta statusInvite-gated account creation and sign-in are live. Pro billing is being introduced separately as the beta widens.
Cancelling
- Open Preferences → Account and choose Manage subscription.
- In the billing portal, cancel your plan. You keep Pro through the end of the period you already paid for.
- After that, Murmurtale simply returns your account to the free tier — 10,000 local words a month. Nothing is deleted.
Cancel anytimeCancelling never touches your work. Your dictations, dictionaries, and settings stay on your Mac, and the on-device engine keeps working. Your words remain yours.
