Granary

Important

This project is archived as of July 2026.

Granola began encrypting its local cache, which is the source granary reads from, so exports no longer work. This tool served its purpose, but for quite a while now I've been relying on Granola's MCP for my day to day needs. It's a bummer to lose a standing export of the transcripts, but keeping up with Granola's cache format changes is a game of whack a mole that isn't worth the maintenance. See #13 for the details.

Exports meeting notes and transcripts from Granola's local cache to markdown files.

Granary exports AI-generated notes and full transcripts to markdown. It auto-detects the latest Granola cache version, only writes changed files, and preserves transcripts even after Granola purges them from its cache. A built-in macOS LaunchAgent can run exports automatically every 2 hours.

🛠️ Installation

⚠️ Transcript availability

Granola does not keep all transcripts in its local cache. Transcripts are fetched from Granola's servers on demand when you open a meeting, and older ones are periodically purged. New meetings will have transcripts in cache after you view them in Granola, but previously viewed meetings may not.

Once Granary exports a transcript, it preserves it permanently. On future runs it merges the latest AI notes with any previously exported transcript, so you never lose data.
