What it does

Joins your meeting, records it, transcribes locally and keeps everything - sessions, notes, transcripts and recordings - in a local SQLite database and local files, with Markdown export when you need it. Bring your own LLM for summaries: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio or anything OpenAI-compatible. Note that the project has been renamed from hyprnote to anarlog; the team's main effort has moved elsewhere but this remains open-source and maintained.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

anarlog FAQ

Is anarlog free?: anarlog itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
Do I need to install anything or write code to use anarlog?: You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.
Does anarlog work on a phone?: No. It needs a computer.
Can I use anarlog commercially?: The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
