Murlet for Mac

Murlet is a free network video recorder for Apple silicon Macs. Add your cameras' RTSP URLs and it records around the clock, using the GPU and Neural Engine to understand what it sees without sending anything to the cloud.

Features

• Works with any RTSP-compatible IP camera, including inexpensive models.
• On-device AI tags people, cars, and animals so you can find relevant footage quickly.
• All processing and storage is local; footage never leaves your Mac.
• Light on resources: records nine cameras using less than one CPU core on an M1 MacBook Pro.
• No account and no internet connection required; recording continues through outages.
• Size-capped storage: you choose how much disk space to use, and the oldest footage is deleted first.
• Standard formats: Matroska (.mkv) video playable in VLC, metadata in SQLite, so your footage is never locked in.
• Free: everything it does today stays free, and no existing feature will ever move behind a paywall.
