Yogurt

Key facts: Yogurt launched on Product Hunt on November 12, 2026, placing #16. It is a free, MIT-licensed meeting-notes app for Mac, Windows and Linux from Frigade. It records Zoom, Google Meet and Teams in the background, shows a live transcript, and writes a summary with next steps when the call ends: no bot ever joins your call. Ask questions across all your meetings, a folder or one call, even mid-meeting, and replay the full audio. Everything runs locally: transcription uses Whisper through whisper.cpp, and summaries use an open-weight model from the Gemma 4, gpt-oss or Qwen3 families, picked for your hardware and run through llama.cpp. A local MCP server shares notes with Claude or ChatGPT. Free, open source, no account. Setup downloads 5 to 14 GB of models, and it needs at least 8 GB of memory.

Plans: Free and open source (MIT). There is no account and no paid tier.

Best for: Anyone who wants Granola-style meeting notes without sending conversations to the cloud. Who should skip it: anyone on a machine with under 8 GB of memory, or who wants a bot to join calls for them.
