A personal knowledge graph, not another recorder
Bot-free capture in a browser tab. A Notion-style editor. People, companies, and tasks connected so the archive travels with you. That is the personal knowledge graph we are building, next generation and privacy-conscious by design.

What sets Grafite apart
The differences that matter
Browser-first. Start in thirty seconds.
Core Grafite lives in a browser tab. Open any browser, sign in, and you're ready to record, write, and ask. An optional Mac desktop app adds extras like system audio when you need them. You do not need an install to get value.
vs. others: Granola requires a desktop app. Otter offers a Chrome extension, desktop app, and mobile apps. Notion's AI Meeting Notes works best in the desktop app. Grafite keeps the web app as the home base.
Your own personal people directory.
Grafite automatically tracks the people you meet with and builds a personal directory (names, companies, meeting history) without you doing anything. It's like having a lightweight personal CRM that fills itself in.
vs. others: Other tools focus on meeting capture but don't track your relationships. For people tracking, you'd normally need a separate CRM or manually maintained spreadsheet.
Bot-free capture meets a Notion-style editor.
Grafite marries Granola-style bot-free recording with a real writing surface: slash commands, formatting control, and notes that can become finished documents. Then people, companies, and tasks attach so the archive becomes a personal knowledge graph, not a folder of recaps.
vs. others: Granola is a focused desktop notepad with intentionally basic formatting. Otter/Fireflies optimize for company transcription and CRM sync. Notion is a powerful editor, weaker when you want fast bot-free capture from any browser tab.
Personal by design.
Your Grafite account belongs to you. It's tied to your personal login. The notes you take, the people you track, and the knowledge you build are yours to keep as your career evolves.
vs. others: Notion workspaces are typically owned by your employer. Otter/Fireflies enterprise accounts may be administered by your company. Grafite is personal-first.
Questions
Can I switch from another tool to Grafite?
Yes, just sign up and start using Grafite alongside your existing tools. Core Grafite is browser-based, so you can start without an install. You can transition gradually at your own pace.
Does Grafite work with my calendar?
Yes. Grafite connects to Google Calendar and Microsoft Calendar (Outlook). Your meetings sync automatically, and you can join calls directly from the Grafite agenda view.
How does pricing compare?
Grafite is currently 100% free during the beta. When paid plans launch, early adopters receive a lifetime discount. Our goal is to be significantly more affordable than competing products that charge $20-30/month.
Will Grafite replace my existing note-taking app?
Often, yes for meeting capture plus the notes, tasks, and people graph around those meetings. Grafite is a personal knowledge graph, not a corporate everything suite. Keep specialized tools where they still earn their keep.
Is Grafite secure enough for sensitive meetings?
Your data is stored securely and, by default, only accessible to you. You choose when to share notes. There are no meeting bots. We do not train on your content. Recording and AI processing use enterprise-grade cloud APIs with no training retention. Export or purge your account anytime.
Ready in 30 seconds. We timed it.
No downloads. No configuration. No explaining to your IT department why you need another tool. Just open Grafite and start capturing better meeting notes.
