Hyprnote

Hyprnote records and transcribes your meetings on your own device and summarizes them with a local or your own AI model. It is an open alternative to cloud meeting bots, built for privacy.

Hyprnote is a local-first, open-source AI meeting notetaker, often described as an open alternative to Granola. Instead of sending a bot to join your call, it captures your device's audio directly and transcribes it on your own machine, then stores sessions, notes, and transcripts in a local SQLite database and plain files you can open yourself. You take notes during the meeting, and the app can generate summaries and let you chat with the content afterward. For the AI steps you bring your own model: it works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, or fully local engines like Ollama and LM Studio. It is built for people who want AI meeting notes without handing their conversations to a third-party cloud, including those who must clear a security review. The core desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) is MIT-licensed; optional hosted AI, encrypted sync, and sharing are opt-in rather than required. Note that the project has been rebranded (recently to "anarlog"), while a separate commercial product has spun off, so branding and naming are in flux.
