Details
Granola is a notepad for meetings. You jot rough notes during the call while Granola transcribes the audio from your computer, and afterwards it enhances your notes with what was said. Because it records device audio, nobody else in the meeting sees a bot.
It suits founders with back-to-back calls who want usable notes without an assistant in the room. You can chat with your notes across meetings, share folders and connect your notes to Claude or ChatGPT through MCP.
The free Basic plan has the core features but keeps only 30 days of history. Business, at $14 per user a month, adds unlimited history, follow-up emails, pre-meeting briefs and the integrations.
Toggl is time tracking that doesn’t feel like a chore. Founded in Estonia by Alari Aho in 2006, 100% bootstrapped to $32M ARR with 1M+ users. Started as an internal tool, became a product when a recession forced them to focus. Fully remote team across 40+ countries.
