What is it?

anarlog is a desktop meeting notetaker built with Tauri v2, React, TypeScript and Rust. It records audio directly on your device rather than sending a bot into the call, transcribes it with a selected model, and generates notes you can edit and export as Markdown.

Data is stored locally in SQLite, with recordings and attachments kept as plain files. Transcription and language models can run on-device on supported Macs, or be routed to a hosted provider, your own API key, or an OpenAI-compatible local server such as Ollama or LM Studio. Hosted AI, encrypted sync and sharing are optional.

The repository is a monorepo that also contains a website, a hosted API, a CLI with an MCP server, and iOS and Android clients. The community application is MIT-licensed, while the enterprise components under enterprise/ are commercially licensed.
