Notes you take on your iPhone sync to the Granola desktop app (macOS and Windows) once they’re complete. This lets you capture notes on the go and then access them from your computer.

​
When notes sync

Notes sync to desktop after transcription and summarization are complete. Until then, the note only exists on your iPhone. If a note seems stuck on iPhone and isn’t appearing on desktop:
  • Check that the note has finished processing (you should see the enhanced notes, not just “generating…”)
  • If transcription failed or is taking too long, report a bug from the iPhone app

​
What syncs

  • Completed meeting notes: Notes that have finished transcription and summarization
  • Transcripts: Full transcripts are available on both devices
  • Edits: Changes you make to completed notes sync across devices

​
What doesn’t sync

  • Notes in progress: A note that’s still being transcribed or summarized won’t appear on desktop yet (including any private/pre-meeting notes)

​
Features that require desktop

Some features are only available on the desktop app. For notes taken on iPhone, you’ll need to use desktop to:
  • Apply templates: Custom templates can only be created and applied from desktop
  • Move to folders: Folder management is desktop-only
  • Share to integrations: Notion, Slack, HubSpot, and other integrations require desktop
  • Change workspaces: Notes default to your oldest workspace; move them via desktop
  • Manage calendar sync: Calendar connections are configured on desktop
  • Transfer notes between accounts: Moving notes from one account to another requires desktop
  • View trash and restore notes: The trash feature is only available on desktop

​
Tips for a smooth workflow

  • Take notes on iPhone for in-person meetings and phone calls
  • Wait for notes to finish processing before expecting them on desktop
  • Review and organize on desktop to apply templates, move to folders, and share
