About
Everything you do at work needs "managing": projects, tasks, priorities, customers, meetings, teams, strategy. You can't remember it all. Ari, your second brain that manages it all for you: it tracks things, stays current without constant updates, and tells you what matters. Less admin. More building. Free to start.

Oats is an AI meeting note-taking tool that records from your Mac without a bot and stores notes locally as Markdown.

Mumble AI combines meeting recording, transcription, note-taking, and dictation in one app, which covers more tasks than Oats's meeting focus.
