Frequently Asked Questions

Murmur is an anonymous platform where people can share thoughts, confessions, opinions, and beliefs without building a public identity around them. No account, no profile page, no real-name layer.

No. Murmur does not require accounts. When you first arrive, the site generates a ghost handle locally on your device so you can participate without signing up.

Murmur is designed to avoid attaching posts to your real-world identity. It does not ask for your name, email, phone number, or profile, and your ghost handle is generated locally on your device instead of being tied to an account.

A tail is a response to a post. It continues the thought anonymously, like a quiet reply threaded beneath the original murmur.

A star means a post resonated with you. It is Murmur’s quiet version of a like, without turning the experience into a performance leaderboard.

Echo Rooms are semi-private spaces where room posts can still surface in the main feed. Anyone with the room code can join, and the room can still be discovered by the wider Murmur community.

Sealed Rooms are private spaces. Posts stay inside the room and do not appear in the global feed. Only people with the room code can enter and read them.

Commons Rooms are open community spaces organized around a topic or community. Anyone can enter, read, and post there.

The Courtyard is the place where rooms live. You can browse rooms, create your own, and jump into Echo or Commons spaces from there.

Yes, but only for Echo Rooms and Commons Rooms. Sealed Rooms stay private and cannot be followed from the public feed.

A poll is a post with voting options. Voting stays anonymous, and the results are shown without exposing who chose which option.

A Burn Post is a post that expires after 24 hours. Once the timer ends, it disappears from the active experience and is no longer available like a regular murmur.

A repost lets you share someone else’s murmur with your own note above it. The original post appears as a nested card inside your repost.

Yes. When composing a post, you can choose from available card themes such as cherry blossom, antarctica, waterfall, and more. Themes apply to the post you are creating.

Ending your session clears the ghost identity, starred items, room history, and other Murmur data stored locally on your device so the next visit starts fresh.

Every post and tail includes a flag action. Use it to report harmful content so it can be hidden or reviewed through the platform’s moderation flow.

Main-feed posts are visible to people visiting Murmur. Echo Room posts can circulate more broadly, Sealed Room posts stay inside their room, and nobody sees a real identity attached to the post.

No. Murmur does not use AI to read or classify your posts. Moderation relies on a keyword blocklist and community reporting instead.

Yes. Murmur is free to use. There is no paid tier required to post, read, star, tail, or move through rooms.

Regular posts stay available unless they are moderated or removed from visibility. Burn Posts expire after 24 hours, and room posts disappear from active access when their room expires.

Yes. You can delete your own post from the My Whispers page by opening the three-dot menu and choosing delete. You can also flag a post when something needs review through moderation.
