Granola: macOS only. Early versions had privacy issues with notes being public by default. US-based company. MeetMemo, on the other hand, processes everything locally on your Mac. No cloud, no external servers, no GDPR concerns.
Since MeetMemo doesn't send any data to external servers, it's inherently GDPR compliant. You don't need to sign a DPA or worry about data transfers.
Granola offers full Dutch support. MeetMemo supports Dutch, English, and French natively.
MeetMemo automatically builds a structured knowledge base on your Mac. Every meeting is saved with a Markdown summary, full transcript, and audio recording — organized into themed folders you choose. Granola doesn't offer this.
Point any AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor — at your knowledge base folder to instantly search across all your meetings. Your meeting data becomes your own personal, searchable knowledge source.
