Anarlog: Open-Source Granola AI Alternative

Anarlog is an open-source, MIT-licensed alternative to Granola that captures meeting audio directly on your device without sending a bot into the call, transcribes locally on supported Macs, and stores sessions, notes, and transcripts in a local SQLite database. It supports bring-your-own AI via hosted providers, your own API key, or OpenAI-compatible local servers such as Ollama, LM Studio, or Unsloth, with optional encrypted CloudSync and sharing off by default. The repo also includes source-visible, commercially licensed enterprise components, and the project notes it began as Hyprnote and briefly used the char name before splitting into two projects.
