Granola alternatives for meeting notes and summaries

Anarlog (formerly Hyprnote) is the closest Granola-style notepad here, combining personal notes with bot-free meeting capture and editable summaries. Templates, folders and Markdown exports keep the notes usable elsewhere; transcription and summary backends are separate choices.

Meetily captures microphone and call audio together without a meeting bot, produces live transcripts and summarizes them through Ollama or a chosen cloud model. It suits people who want the conversation captured even when they take few manual notes.

Minutes keeps meeting transcripts, speaker labels and optional action-item summaries in Markdown files. Recall and MCP access let an assistant search the conversations you choose to share, making it useful for following up across meetings.

Speakr provides a self-hosted library of recordings with searchable transcripts, summaries and questions tied to timestamps. Choose it when reviewing and organizing conversations matters more than a desktop notepad beside the call.

OpenWhispr combines desktop meeting detection, on-device speaker labeling and organized notes with everyday dictation. It suits people who want voice writing and meeting records in one app; cloud sync and sharing are optional services.

Scrieb records or imports conversations and produces speaker labels, summaries and meeting chat using local processing. It suits people who want a packaged Mac or Windows app with no cloud AI processing option.

MacParakeet captures microphone and system audio with a live meeting transcript and notes you take during the call. Optional summaries and transcript chat can use Ollama or LM Studio, and exports include Markdown, DOCX and subtitles.

Whisper Notes turns recorded conversations into speaker-labelled transcripts, with summaries and transcript questions on Mac. Automatic call recording requires the direct-download Mac edition.

Natively combines meeting notes with live help based on the conversation. It captures call audio without a bot and produces searchable notes with decisions and notable moments; the suggested-answer overlay is optional.

VoiceFlow records the microphone and call audio together, then lets you jump from transcript lines to playback. Optional summaries can use Ollama, and you can pause recordings or transcribe them again with another model.

AudioNotes turns uploaded recordings into a full transcript and structured Markdown notes. Ask follow-up questions and return to saved notes and chats; the default speech model prioritizes Chinese, with a multilingual alternative available.

Screenpipe records microphone and system audio and keeps it searchable alongside screen history. Connected agents can use that history for meeting notes or daily recaps, so the note-generation workflow requires an agent setup beyond capture itself.
