Overview

anarlog is a desktop meeting notetaker that captures device audio without sending a bot into the call, then separates transcription, notes, and AI summaries into local-first workflows. It uses Tauri v2, React, TypeScript, and Rust, with sessions, notes, and transcripts stored in SQLite. The latest desktop release checked on September 17, 2026 is desktop_v1.4.24.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Capture meeting audio on-device and build transcripts and notes without a meeting bot

Audio capture happens on the device, and supported systems can use on-device transcription. Sessions, notes, and transcripts live in local SQLite while recordings and attachments are local files, with Markdown export available.

Separate transcription from intelligence so local models, BYO APIs, and hosted AI can be mixed intentionally

Audio-to-text and transcript-to-summary/chat are configured independently. OpenAI-compatible local servers such as Ollama or LM Studio are supported, while CloudSync and sharing are opt-in. The repository also includes a CLI and MCP server.

For teams that want AI meeting notes while keeping audio and transcripts local where possible

It fits individuals and organizations avoiding meeting bots or cloud-only transcription, especially where the data flow must survive a security review.

Separate the MIT community app from commercial enterprise code and from optional cloud providers

The community application is MIT-licensed, while enterprise/ is commercially licensed. Choosing hosted AI, CloudSync, or remote MCP services sends data outside the local machine. The README also states that the team is now building char while continuing to maintain the anarlog community application.
