Granola
Granola is a cross‑platform AI notepad that captures meetings without joining as a bot. It uses on-device audio to transcribe, builds calendar-aware briefs, surfaces actions, and syncs across desktop, mobile, and Apple Watch, with optional MCP integration for downstream AI tools.
Overview
Typical workflow: Granola prepares a pre‑meeting Brief from your calendar, captures the conversation from system audio while you stay present, and generates concise notes with actions the moment you hang up. You can refine and share selectively, then query Granola Chat to recall promises, timelines, and decisions.
Capabilities and Integrations
Granola fits founders, sales and success teams, product managers, engineering leads, recruiters, and operators who live in calendars. It’s especially strong for organizations that avoid bot attendees, need reliable action capture, and juggle hybrid schedules. Teams running frequent external calls benefit from pre‑meeting Briefs; mobile professionals get in‑person and phone coverage; Apple Watch users can glance, capture, and follow up between sessions.
- Pre‑meeting Briefs compile attendees, context, and priorities from your connected calendar.
- Transcribes from system audio, so no third‑party meeting bot is required.
- Generates clean summaries, action items, and follow‑ups tailored to your notes.
- Syncs across macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Apple Watch for continuity.
- MCP Connector exposes meeting notes to compatible AI apps without copy‑pasting.
Highlights
Who It's For
Install Granola for macOS or Windows and grant microphone and system‑audio permissions. Connect your work calendar to enable automatic Briefs before external meetings. On mobile (iOS and Android), use Granola to capture in‑person conversations and phone calls; enable the Apple Watch app for quick glances and capture on the go. During meetings, type as much or as little as you want—Granola will align context and produce notes and actions at the end. Share selectively when needed. To power other workflows, enable the Granola MCP Connector so compatible AI tools can reference your meeting notes. Unlimited notes are free; working with notes older than 30 days requires an upgrade.
Smart, private meeting memory that respects the room—no bots, clear actions, and instant recall across devices.

Granola is an AI notepad designed for people in back‑to‑back meetings. Instead of inviting a meeting bot, it listens through your computer’s audio to produce accurate transcripts and personal notes you control. It prepares a Brief before external calls by syncing with your calendar—who’s attending, last discussion, and what matters now—so you show up ready. During the call, you can type freely or not at all; Granola uses meeting context to generate clear summaries, action items, and follow‑ups. Afterward, notes are instantly available across macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Apple Watch, with private‑by‑default sharing when you choose. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, huddles, phone calls, and in‑person conversations. Granola Chat brings perfect meeting memory for questions like “What did I promise this week?”. The Granola MCP Connector lets your other AI apps reference your meeting notes without copy‑paste. Unlimited notes are free; upgrading unlocks working with notes older than 30 days.
