Who each one suits

Anarlog

  • People who need meeting notes kept on their own device
  • Organizations that do not allow meeting bots or cloud notetakers
  • Developers who want open-source code, a CLI and an MCP server
  • Teams that work on Linux as well as macOS and Windows

Meetily

  • People whose meetings cannot be sent to a cloud notetaker
  • Developers who want MIT-licensed code and local models
  • Teams that do not allow recording bots in their calls

Worth knowing

Anarlog

  • There is no mobile app yet. The download page says the iPhone, iPad and Android apps launch in October.
  • Hosted transcription and AI, dictation, sync, sharing and automations need Pro. Free relies on local models or your own paid API keys.
  • Shared notes and the Cloud API keep a server-readable copy, unlike Cloud Sync, which is end-to-end encrypted.
  • Speaker labeling is manual on the Free plan; better speaker identification is a Pro feature.

Meetily

  • Desktop only: Windows 10 or later and Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 11 or later. Intel Macs are not supported, and on Linux it must be built from source.
  • Speaker identification, custom templates, PDF and DOCX export, Windows GPU acceleration and the MCP server, CLI and webhooks all need Pro.
  • Each Pro license covers one device for one year, and the pricing page lists Pro with yearly billing only.
  • There are no built-in connectors for apps such as Notion or Jira, and chat with your meetings and calendar integration are marked as coming soon.

Key features

Anarlog

Bot-free capture
Records system audio and the microphone directly, so nothing appears in the participant list and no calendar access is needed. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and in-person talks.
Local-first storage
Notes and transcripts live in a SQLite database on your device and recordings are local files. You can use it without an account and export to Markdown.
Your choice of AI
Run local models through Ollama or LM Studio, bring your own keys for providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Deepgram, or use hosted AI on Pro. Local models work offline.
Summaries built on your notes
After a meeting, Anarlog merges what you typed with the transcript into an editable summary. Pro adds custom summary formats and custom dictionaries.
Chat, CLI and MCP
Search across meetings and ask questions of your transcripts in chat. The same data is reachable from a command-line tool, an MCP server and webhooks on the Free plan.
Sync, sharing and automations
Pro adds end-to-end encrypted sync across 3 personal devices, shareable notes, shared workspaces, and automations that post to Slack, Notion and Linear.

Meetily

Bot-free recording
Captures system audio on the computer instead of sending a bot into the call, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Slack Huddles and Webex.
On-device transcription
Whisper and Parakeet models transcribe in real time on your machine, and audio is not uploaded. Pro adds GPU acceleration on Windows with an NVIDIA card.
Summaries from the AI you choose
Summaries run on a local Ollama model or on your own key for Claude, OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. With your own key, only transcript text is sent.
Speaker identification
A Pro feature that labels who said what, live and on imported audio. Renaming a speaker once updates the whole transcript, and duplicate speakers can be merged.
Templates and exports
Pro includes 6 built-in summary templates plus your own, and exports transcripts and summaries to PDF, DOCX and Markdown. Community uses the default template.
MCP server, CLI and webhooks
Pro ships an MCP server, a command-line tool, a local API and signed webhooks, so assistants such as Claude or Cursor and your own scripts can search and export meetings. Off by default.
