Notes you take on your phone 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 phone. If a note seems stuck on mobile and isn’t appearing on desktop:
  • Check that the note has finished processing (you should see the enhanced notes, not “Uploading” or “Generating notes”)
  • If it’s stuck on either of those, follow Notes not uploading or generating

​
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 aren’t available on the iOS app. For notes taken on iOS, you’ll need to use desktop to:
  • Apply templates: Custom templates can only be created and applied from desktop
  • Share to integrations: Notion, Slack, HubSpot, and other integrations require desktop
  • Manage calendar sync: Calendar connections are configured on desktop
  • Transfer notes between accounts: Moving notes from one account to another requires desktop
To view trash and restore notes taken on iOS, use the desktop app (Mac or Windows) or the Android app.

Tips for a smooth workflow

  • Take notes on mobile for in-person meetings (and outbound phone calls)
  • Wait for notes to finish processing before expecting them on desktop
  • Review and organize on desktop to apply templates and share
