Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/granola

Notepad for meetings that transcribes your computer's audio and fills out your notes, with no bot on the call.

Granola needs an account and transcribes in the cloud. People who want everything to stay on their Mac, a full recording they can keep, or a plain notes app with AI added pick alternatives that transcribe locally and save the audio.
