Granola

Best for

People in back-to-back meetings who type rough notes and want them cleaned up.

Why it deserves attention

Granola records system audio without sending a bot into the call, then merges the transcript with whatever you typed. The result keeps your structure and fills in details you missed, and notes are searchable across meetings. It is Mac-first, cloud-processed, and the free tier limits history or advanced features, so check the privacy policy before using it with sensitive calls.
