> Local-first, privacy-focused AI meeting notepad

anarlog is an open-source, local-first meeting notepad that records and transcribes audio directly on your device without meeting bots. It stores transcripts and notes in a local SQLite database, generating summaries via local models or external LLM providers. It runs as a desktop application on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
