How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Anarlog when engineers and developers wanting private, bot-free meeting notes matters most, and Capsho when creators repurposing one episode into blog posts, social captions, and email copy matters most. Test each on your own meetings; the right choice tends to become obvious quickly.

Anarlog is an open-source, local-first AI meeting notetaker developed by Fastrepl, Inc., the team behind the project previously known as Hyprnote and Char. It is positioned as an open-source alternative to cloud meeting-notes tools and is designed for people who want to keep meeting data under their own control. Instead of sending a bot into a call, Anarlog captures system audio directly on the user's computer, transcribes it locally, and merges the transcript with short notes the user jots down during the meeting to produce structured, editable summaries with action items. Audio, transcripts, and notes are stored as files on the local disk rather than in an external service, and users can choose between running local AI models or supplying their own API keys for cloud processing. The application is available for Apple Silicon Macs and its codebase is published on GitHub under a GPL license, so it can be inspected, forked, and self-hosted. Anarlog is best for engineers, privacy-conscious professionals, and teams that want bot-free meeting notes with full ownership of their data. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

Capsho is an AI marketing assistant built for entrepreneurs and creators who podcast, livestream, or publish on YouTube. You upload an audio or video file and provide context about the episode, your brand voice, and audience; Capsho then transcribes the recording and generates a timestamped transcript available in .TXT and .VTT formats. From that transcription it auto-produces a large set of marketing assets, including an episode title and description, show notes, a chapter summary, social media captions, email copy, pull quotes, a blog post, a LinkedIn article, and a YouTube description. The platform is organized into a Marketing Studio for written assets, an Image Studio for thumbnails and graphics, and a Clipping Studio that identifies and crops short video clips. A "Personas" feature learns a user's tone and style over time to keep generated content on-brand. Capsho is positioned as a repurposing and content-creation tool rather than a meeting-notes app, but its core workflow includes transcribing spoken audio and video into searchable text.
