- Installation
- Signed Windows x64 installer or Apple-silicon macOS DMG; Linux currently requires a source build
- Operational Setup
- Windows and Apple-silicon macOS install cleanly but still need audio permissions and model downloads; Linux requires Rust/Node source-build tooling, and several advanced summary/export/diarization workflows are Pro-only
- Where Your Data Lives
- Transcription models, recordings, transcripts and application data stay on the local machine; the Community Edition has no cloud sync
- The Catch / Trade-off
- The Community Edition records and summarizes locally, but Granola's refined note editor, collaboration and automatic context are stronger, while advanced templates, exports and diarization sit in Meetily Pro.
