Granola captures your meetings. Marq quietly archives them to plain Markdown on your Mac. Your Obsidian vault, a git repo, wherever your AI needs context. No copy-paste, no manual work, ever.
Free to download. Uses your own Granola account (a paid Granola plan is needed for transcripts).
Granola captures your meetings well. But getting them into Obsidian, your AI tools, or a git-tracked archive is manual work. Every meeting, every time. Marq makes it automatic.
Marq lives in your menu bar and keeps a Markdown mirror of your Granola library. Everything below ships in v0.1.0.
Every note is written as clean Markdown: the AI summary plus the full transcript, rendered inline under a ## Transcript heading.
Run on a simple interval, or set specific weekdays and times for a weekly sync. Marq wakes up, syncs, and goes quiet again.
Keep the default date_title, or build your own from {date} and {title} tokens so files land exactly how you name things.
Two meetings resolve to the same filename? Marq appends -2, -3, and so on. It never silently overwrites one with the other.
Each file carries granola_id, date, and attendees, and turns your Granola folders into tags, so your vault and queries stay organized.
Your recent notes are one click away in the popover, with a one-click Sync Now whenever you don't want to wait for the schedule.
Point Marq at a new destination and it migrates every file it has synced to the new location. That runs off the main thread, so no beachball.
Marq checks for new releases on launch and installs them in place with one click. Signed and notarized, straight from us.
A native Liquid Glass interface that follows your macOS appearance, so Marq feels at home whether your Mac is light or dark.
Setup takes about two minutes. After that, Marq runs quietly in the background.
Drag Marq.app to /Applications and launch it. It appears in your menu bar. No dock icon, no window.
A one-time sign-in opens in your browser. It's standard OAuth, so Marq never sees your Granola password. Then choose any destination: an Obsidian vault, an iCloud folder, a git repo.
Marq syncs on the schedule you set. Every meeting (summary, transcript, attendees) is written as clean Markdown, organized by date. Done.
Marq writes plain files to a path you choose. If your tool can open a folder, it works.
Point Marq at your vault. Notes appear as pages, ready to link and query.
Syncs to all your devices automatically. On your iPhone and iPad too.
One file per meeting, diff-aware. Your meeting history as clean commits.
Any local path: Dropbox, Raycast notes, or a plain folder you own.
Signed and notarized by Apple. Download, drag to Applications, and you're set.
macOS 13 Ventura or later. Requires a paid Granola subscription for transcripts.
v0.1.0 · All releases
Granola is the source of truth. When a meeting changes in Granola, Marq rewrites that file, so edit meetings in Granola, not the exported .md. It never silently clobbers two meetings onto one filename.
Barely. Two anonymous events: an install ping and per-sync file counts. Never your note content, titles, filenames, or email.
In a plain JSON file at ~/.config/marq/oauth.json with 0600 permissions, readable only by your user account.
