granola-toolkit
The unofficial open-source Swiss army knife for Granola.
Sync your meeting archive locally, browse it in the browser or terminal, export anything you need, and run your own agents against transcripts and notes.
granola-toolkitis for people who want more than a flat export command: a local-first Granola archive, a real browser and terminal workspace, and automation you control.
Why Use It
- Local-first control instead of being trapped in one app surface
- CLI, browser, and TUI on one shared runtime and one local index
- Bring your own agent workflows on top of transcripts and notes
- Export notes and transcripts into files you actually own
- Open-source and scriptable, with local prompts, rules, skills, and plugins

Install
npm install -g granola-toolkit
granola --helpWithout a global install:
npx granola-toolkit --helpThe published package exposes both granola and granola-toolkit as executable names.
If you do not want to install via npm, each GitHub release also publishes standalone archives for
macOS arm64, Linux x64, and Windows x64. Extract the archive and run granola (or
granola.exe on Windows).
Quick Start
granola init --provider openrouter
granola auth login --api-key grn_...
granola webgranola init creates a local .granola.toml, starter harnesses, starter automation rules, and
prompt files under ./.granola/ so the first-run setup is not just “read docs and assemble JSON by
hand”.
If you start with granola web, the browser now walks you through the same first-run path:
enter a Granola API key, import your meetings, choose an agent provider, and land in a workspace
with a starter reviewable notes pipeline already configured.
granola web now prefers the long-running background-service path by default: it will reuse the
existing service when one is already running, or start it for you when you have not asked for a
foreground/debug session.
granola service start is still available when you want to warm the local sync loop without
opening a browser first.
If you prefer to reuse the desktop app session instead, granola auth login still imports it from
supabase.json.
Set Default Configuration
granola init writes a project-local .granola.toml for you. If you want to edit it directly,
the file can look like this:
agent-provider = "openrouter"
agent-model = "openai/gpt-5-mini"
agent-harnesses-file = "./.granola/agent-harnesses.json"
automation-rules-file = "./.granola/automation-rules.json"
pkm-targets-file = "./.granola/pkm-targets.json"
output = "./exports/notes"
transcript-output = "./exports/transcripts"
debug = falseThe CLI reads configuration in this order:
- command-line flags
- environment variables
.granola.toml- platform defaults
Relative paths in .granola.toml resolve from the directory that contains the config file.
Debug Logging
Yes, the toolkit supports a real debug mode.
granola sync --debug
granola web --debug --foreground
DEBUG_MODE=1 granola service startUseful when you want to see config resolution, auth mode selection, sync behaviour, and runtime paths while diagnosing local-state issues.
