Anarlog is an open-source, local-first AI meeting notepad and Granola alternative that records device audio without a bot joining the call, transcribes on-device, and stores notes in local SQLite. It supports bring-your-own AI providers including local models via Ollama or LM Studio, with optional hosted cloud features.

Use cases

• take AI meeting notes without a bot joining the call
• transcribe meetings locally on my machine
• open source Granola alternative
• keep meeting transcripts private and offline
• summarize meetings with my own API key or local LLM
• export meeting notes to markdown
• get a notetaker past a security review

When to choose

• you need bot-free meeting capture that stays invisible to participants
• privacy or compliance requires local storage and on-device transcription
• you want to use your own AI provider, API keys, or local models
• you want an MIT-licensed app you can audit, fork, or self-host

When to avoid

• you need hosted team collaboration, sync, and sharing out of the box without paying for Pro
• you rely on cloud-only features like connected calendars or hosted transcription on the free tier
• you need a mobile or web-only notetaker
• you require enterprise SSO or self-hosted server today, which are still in early partner stages
