Granola
Granola is an AI meeting notes app for Mac that helps you capture conversations, organize notes, and turn rough notes into structured summaries.
What is Granola?
Granola is a productivity app for Mac focused on meeting notes and transcription. It helps people capture conversations during calls and in-person meetings, combine those recordings with their own rough notes, and turn the result into structured summaries and follow-up material. Granola is designed for work meetings and supports workflows built around upcoming calendar events, ad-hoc notes, folders, and shared note organization. Users can edit generated notes, apply note templates, and chat with their notes to refine or revisit what was discussed. It fits professionals and teams who want faster meeting documentation without relying only on manual note-taking. Granola is published by Granola Labs Ltd.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Granola is legitimate meeting-note software, but it may request access related to audio capture, calendars, and local note content so it can prepare for meetings and create transcripts and summaries. That access is normal for this kind of app. Because it handles meeting content, avoid using it for sensitive conversations unless you are comfortable with how your notes and transcripts are stored and shared, and follow your workplace's consent and recording rules.
Recommendation: Keep Granola if you use it for meeting notes, transcription, or follow-up summaries. If you no longer rely on it, you can remove it like other Mac apps, but doing so may remove access to its local notes, cached meeting data, and saved settings on this Mac.
