Our review

Granola is an AI meeting notepad for Mac that doesn't send a bot to the call — instead it enhances your own notes — privacy-friendly with a refined interface.

It's Mac-only, personal-leaning, and the ecosystem is new; but if you care about keeping bots out of your meetings while still getting AI-enhanced notes, Granola's approach is refreshingly clean.
