Yogurt is a free, open-source desktop app for creating AI meeting notes, presented as a private alternative to Granola. It records calls directly from the computer without joining the meeting as a bot. Its example output includes a meeting summary, action items organized by person, and personal reminders, aiming to turn conversations into useful follow-up rather than just a transcript. Privacy is central to its positioning, and the project’s topics identify local AI, Whisper transcription, and llama.cpp, though the provided description does not detail exactly how processing or data storage work.
The app is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It requires macOS 14.4 or later on Apple Silicon, Windows 10 version 2004 or later on x64, or Ubuntu 22.04 or a similar Linux distribution using an x64 AppImage; the stated minimum memory is 8 GB. The repository is MIT-licensed and includes instructions to build from source, alongside help and download links. Made by Frigade, Yogurt is intended for people who want automated meeting summaries without a meeting bot and prefer a free, inspectable desktop tool. The available information establishes its core purpose and platform support but offers few details about integrations, customization, or the specifics of its AI features.
