## What it is
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
