Granola

Granola is the AI meeting-notes app that exploded in 2026 thanks to a simple stance: raw transcription isn't a useful note. Granola blends your manual notes (fast, contextual) with what's actually being said in the meeting and outputs a structured one-page recap.

The app is Mac-only (Windows in preview) and captures system audio — no bot to invite into Zoom/Meet/Teams. Note templates (1:1, sales call, standup, brainstorm, interview) auto-restructure the output. Folders group meetings from a same project and let you query history via chat.

Free tier: 25 meetings; Business at $14/mo is unlimited with cross-meeting search and integrations (Slack, Linear, Notion).
