How it works
Write rough notes during the meeting. Anarlog turns them into an editable summary afterward.
While you take notes, Anarlog records from your device. No bot joins the call.
ui update - moble

new dash - urgnet

After the meeting is over, your rough notes become a summary you can edit and keep.
Mobile UI Update and API Adjustments
- Sarah presented the new mobile UI update, which includes a streamlined navigation bar and improved button placements for better accessibility.
- Ben confirmed that API adjustments are needed to support dynamic UI changes, particularly for fetching personalized user data more efficiently.
- The UI update will be implemented in phases, starting with core navigation improvements. Ben will ensure API modifications are completed before development begins.
New Dashboard – Urgent Priority
- Alice emphasized that the new analytics dashboard must be prioritized due to increasing stakeholder demand.
- The new dashboard will feature real-time user engagement metrics and a customizable reporting system.
- Ben mentioned that backend infrastructure needs optimization to handle real-time data processing.
- Mark stressed that the dashboard launch should align with marketing efforts to maximize user adoption.
- Development will start immediately, and a basic prototype must be ready for stakeholder review next week.
What makes it different
Anarlog stays out of the participant list, keeps notes on disk, and lets you pick the AI path.
Your notes stay yours
Audio, transcripts, and notes live as files on your device.

What people say
See for yourself. Before Anarlog had this name, people kept pointing at the same things: private meeting notes, no bot in the room, and local control by default.
Try for yourself.

Manifesto
To the people who still take notes,
Notetaking matters more than note-takers. A note-taker is passive. A notepad is something you use. You stay present and in control while the room is still alive.
Most AI tools ask you to move your memory into their ecosystem and rules. Meeting notes should move the other way: back to files on your disk and software you can run offline.
Files endure. Interfaces change. Your notes should survive us. Use on-device models or your own keys, not a service you cannot inspect.
Anarlog is our attempt to build that meeting notepad.
