Yogurt: open-source, privacy-first Granola alternative runs meeting AI fully on-device
brownrout · hn · 2026-11-11
Developer Eric released Yogurt, an MIT-licensed open-source desktop app positioning itself as a free, private alternative to Granola for Windows/Mac/Linux.
- Like Granola, it runs in the background without joining calls, transcribing meetings, generating summaries, and answering questions about notes — all data stays on-device.
- Stack: Electron + whisper.cpp for transcription (Apple's on-device SpeechAnalyzer where available), with a local open-weight LLM via llama.cpp for summaries and Q&A, auto-configured to your hardware.
- Includes calendar integration, global/folder/local search, echo detection/reduction, and auto-end recording.
- Ships a local MCP server, so you can hand notes directly to Anthropic/OpenAI frontier models without a paid cloud middleman.
