How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Anarlog when engineers and developers wanting private, bot-free meeting notes matters most, and Tactiq when capturing action items and follow-ups without manual note-taking 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.

Tactiq is an AI meeting assistant that runs as a Chrome (and Edge) browser extension and captures live captions to transcribe Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams calls in real time, without sending a bot to join the meeting. After each call it produces AI summaries, extracts action items and follow-ups, and lets you run custom AI prompts against the transcript to pull out decisions or answers. Transcripts can be shared, exported, and pushed into other tools through its integrations, which include Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion, and Confluence, with Linear and Google Docs among the workflows (Google Docs is marked coming soon). It supports 60+ languages. The free plan allows 10 transcripts and 5 AI credits per month with no credit card required; paid plans add unlimited transcripts, more or unlimited AI credits, team auto-sharing, and enterprise controls such as SAML SSO and advanced data retention.
