Finding Granola Transcripts

How to locate and export transcripts from the Granola app

Finding Your Granola Transcripts

Granola doesn't have a public API, so transcripts must be exported manually.

Copy a Transcript (Easiest)

  1. Open the Granola app on your Mac
  2. Click on the meeting you want
  3. Look for the transcription button at the bottom (three vertical bars icon)
  4. Click the copy button in the top right corner
  5. Come back here and paste it

That's it—paste the transcript and I'll save it for you.

If You Have Many Meetings

For bulk export, there's a developer tool called Granola MCP Server. This requires using Terminal (the command-line app on your Mac). If you're comfortable with that:

  1. Open Terminal (search for "Terminal" in Spotlight)
  2. Install the tool: pip install granola-mcp
  3. Export meetings: uv run granola export --output-dir ./meetings/

This creates markdown files you can then upload here. If you're not familiar with Terminal, the copy/paste method above works great—just do one meeting at a time.

What Format to Expect

Transcripts from Granola look like markdown with timestamps:

# Meeting Title

**[00:00:15]** Alice: Welcome everyone...
**[00:00:32]** Bob: Thanks for having me...

If your transcript looks different, that's fine—upload it and I'll organize it.
