What does Anarlog do?

Anarlog is a desktop app that takes meeting notes for you — without ever joining your call. It listens to your computer's audio, transcribes what's said, and generates summaries using AI. The key difference from other notetakers: no bot appears in your calendar or video chat, and everything stays on your machine unless you choose otherwise. It's open source, so anyone can check how the data is handled.

The app works quietly in the background. You can use the on-device AI models for transcription and summarization, or plug in your own API keys if you prefer a different provider. Notes, recordings, and attachments are saved locally by default. Anarlog also offers a local API, CLI, and webhooks, so you can automate workflows or connect it to other tools. The interface is straightforward: you start a meeting, it captures the audio, and later you get a searchable transcript and a summary with action items.

This tool is built for people who want the convenience of AI note-taking without handing over their meeting data to a cloud service. It's a good fit for privacy-conscious professionals, remote teams, and anyone who discusses sensitive topics in meetings. The free tier gives you unlimited on-device transcription and local storage. Paid plans add cloud sync, better speaker identification, and team collaboration features. If you've been avoiding AI notetakers because of privacy concerns, Anarlog is worth a look.
