The app is free, requires no account for core features, and only sends Granola transcripts to its server for task extraction, which are not stored in its database.", "body_md": "runnrr is the complement to Granola for everything mentioned in the call. It pulls real commitments onto a board on your Mac, keeps the meeting attached, and lets Claude Code or Codex finish the follow-up when you press play.\n\nCards scanned from Granola calls arrive in your Inbox — accept the real commitments, dismiss the noise.\n\nThe transcript it came from, the files it touches, everything that happened since. This is what your agent reads before it starts.\n\nLinked files · 1\n\nQ3 kickoff — goals, onboarding fee…\n\nmeetings\n\nFive calls with users who dropped off during setup.\n\nActivity\n\n⊕Created from Q3 kickoff\n\n1d ago→You moved this to This week\n\n2h agoOn the call you promised Kate the pilot usage numbers. Here is the whole job, start to finish.\n\nThe call becomes a card\n\nGranola heard the commitment. “Send Kate pilot usage numbers” lands in your Inbox with the transcript attached.\n\nYou press play\n\nThat is your whole involvement. Claude Code or Codex starts on your Mac.\n\nIt reads the context you already have\n\nThe card, the call transcript, the linked docs. It knows Kate wants activation by week, not raw signups.\n\nIt uses the tools you already connected\n\nYour agent keeps every MCP tool you set up for it. It queries your analytics database itself. runnrr adds nothing to configure.\n\nIt drafts the email\n\nThrough your own mail tool, in your account. You read it, change a line, hit send.\n\nYour own login\n\nThe Claude Code or Codex you already pay for. No second subscription.\n\nYou approve each step\n\nEvery tool call waits for you. Stop the run whenever.\n\nEvery note, transcript and card is a markdown file you can read, edit, organize into folders — and share with a public link when someone else needs it. No lock-in, no export button, because there's nothing to export.\n\nPlain .md on disk. Open them in runnrr, your editor, or hand them to your agent.\n\nNot “encrypted in our cloud”. Actually on your Mac. The board is a database in your home folder, your notes are plain markdown files you can open in any editor, and agents run as processes on your machine.\n\nNone of that needs an account. There is no team admin, no workspace, no seat to buy.\n\nTasks\n\nA SQLite database in your home folder. Delete the app and it is still yours.\n\nNotes and files\n\nPlain .md on disk, in a folder you pick. Works with Obsidian, git, anything.\n\nAgent runs\n\nClaude Code and Codex run locally under your own login, reading local files.\n\nYour account\n\nOptional for all of the above. Only the Granola scan asks you to sign in.\n\nThe one exception, stated plainly\n\nScanning Granola is the only part that leaves your Mac, and the only part that asks you to sign in. Your transcripts go to our server, which sends them to Claude to pull the tasks out and hands the cards back. They never reach our database. They sit in temporary server storage only so a repeat scan doesn't refetch the same call, and that is discarded on its own. Skip the scan and none of your work leaves the machine.\n\nGranola takes the notes. runnrr turns the follow-ups into cards your AI can finish. Free.
