Murmur - Understand the news. Skip the doomscroll.

Hey Product Hunt — I’m Murat, an indie developer based in Istanbul. I built Murmur because I was tired of the way I consumed news: opening several apps, seeing the same story repeated five different ways, and somehow losing an hour when I only wanted to understand what happened. So I tried building the opposite of an endless news feed. Murmur creates three short audio briefings a day — morning, midday and evening. Behind those few minutes is a pipeline that ingests reporting from hundreds of sources, groups articles covering the same event, compares claims across publishers, and writes each story specifically for listening. One of the biggest things I learned while building it is that summarization is actually the easy part. The difficult part is deciding what genuinely changed, what several sources agree on, where reporting conflicts, and what the system is justified in saying confidently. I built the product independently, including the editorial pipeline, backend, iOS app, audio experience and visual direction. My previous apps and games have reached more than 11 million downloads, but Murmur has been a very different challenge because it sits somewhere between software, an editorial system and a media product. I’d especially love feedback on two things: whether the briefings feel like the right length, and whether we’re giving enough context without making them feel heavy.
