About Anarlog

Anarlog is an AI meeting notepad built for the meetings you would never let a recording bot join. Instead of dialling a participant into the call, it captures audio locally on the Mac, transcribes it on the device and turns the transcript into an editable summary that stays in a local store by default. The pitch is aimed squarely at people whose meetings involve legal exposure, unreleased product plans, medical detail or personnel matters — the categories where the standard AI notetaker's architecture, which uploads the recording to a vendor's servers and picks the model for you, is the objection rather than the feature. Anarlog inverts that: local models run offline, cloud transcription is opt-in, and you can point it at your own provider keys so the AI stack stays under your control. The product is open source, which means the claim that nothing leaves the machine is auditable rather than a marketing line. Its own pricing page carries an unusually candid comparison grid scoring Otter.ai, Fireflies, Fathom, Granola, tl;dv, Notta, Avoma, Read AI, MeetGeek, Tactiq and Sembly on four axes that most notetaker marketing avoids — bot-free capture, local data, offline operation and bring-your-own-keys — with competitor figures dated and sourced. For teams, a workspace tier with admin controls, SSO and a self-hosted server for regulated environments is being shaped with early partners rather than sold off the shelf.
