Anarlog: Open-source, local-first AI meeting notepad (formerly Hyprnote) by Fastrepl that records and summarizes private meetings on your own device with no bot. MeetingJuice: AI notetaker built for Google Meet, distributed as a Chrome extension and Google Workspace Marketplace add-on, that transcribes calls and generates summaries and action items.

How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Anarlog when engineers and developers wanting private, bot-free meeting notes matters most, and MeetingJuice when capturing meetings automatically when the organizer cannot attend matters most. Test each on your own meetings; the right choice tends to become obvious quickly.

AI notetaker built for Google Meet, distributed as a Chrome extension and Google Workspace Marketplace add-on, that transcribes calls and generates summaries and action items.
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.

MeetingJuice is an AI notetaker designed specifically for Google Meet and distributed both as a Chrome extension and as a Google Workspace Marketplace add-on. After installation, it captures meeting conversations in real time, attributes speech to individual speakers, and produces transcripts that can be reviewed, searched, and exported. Once a meeting ends, MeetingJuice generates AI summaries in multiple formats (such as a brief overview or detailed minutes) and extracts action items and decisions so teams do not have to type notes during the call. The tool integrates tightly with the Google ecosystem, allowing users to export results to Google Docs, Gmail drafts, and Slack, and offers custom templates so teams can standardize how summaries are formatted. Because it is available as a Workspace add-on, a bot can join and capture a meeting even when the organizer is absent, while the Chrome extension supports live capture when the user is present. It supports transcription across many languages and offers full-text search across transcripts and meeting metadata, making it suited to teams that run most of their meetings inside Google Meet. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
