anarlog
Overview
anarlog is a privacy-first AI meeting notepad and an open-source alternative to Granola. It takes notes without sending a bot to your call: it listens to your device audio, can transcribe on your machine and keeps app data in a local SQLite database.
What it does well
No bot joins the meeting, and nothing appears in the participant list. On supported Macs, built-in transcription models run on the device, and local AI providers can keep summaries and chat on your computer. Sessions, notes and transcripts live in SQLite and recordings are plain files, with Markdown export. You can bring your own API key or a local server such as Ollama or LM Studio.
Why it’s in the collection
anarlog gives you AI meeting notes without handing your conversations to someone else's cloud. The app is MIT-licensed; enterprise components are commercially licensed. The team now works on a new product, char, and maintains anarlog as the community app.
