AI notepad for private meetings.
Anarlog is an open-source alternative to Granola AI for people who care about privacy.
Why Anarlog exists
Stay in the meeting
Anarlog is for people who want help while they are thinking, not a bot that replaces attention after the fact.
Keep notes as files
The record should live somewhere you can inspect, move, back up, and keep after any interface changes.
Use AI on your terms
Run on-device models or bring your own key. Those are the supported AI paths.
Trust through transparency
Open source makes the system inspectable. Meeting memory is too important to hide behind opaque behavior.
Manifesto
To the people who still take notes,
We believe in the power of notetaking, not notetakers. A note-taker is passive. A notepad is something you use. You are present, you are engaged, and the tool works alongside you while the room is still alive.
Most AI tools ask you to move your memory into their ecosystem, their models, and their rules. We think meeting notes should move in the other direction: back to files, back to your disk, and back to software you can run fully offline.
Files endure. Interfaces change. Your notes should survive us. AI should be available through on-device models or your own keys, not through a service you cannot inspect.
Anarlog is our attempt to build that kind of meeting notepad.
