# macOS via Homebrew
brew install --cask granola
# Or download directly
open "https://www.granola.ai/download"
Windows: download the installer from granola.ai/download and run the .exe.
macOS (critical — both required):
System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone
→ Enable Granola
System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording
→ Enable Granola
The Screen Recording permission is required because macOS bundles system audio capture under that category — Granola does not record your screen.
Windows: Microphone permissions are granted automatically. Confirm at:
Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone → Granola enabled
# macOS — confirm Granola is running
pgrep -l Granola
# Check installed version
defaults read /Applications/Granola.app/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleShortVersionString 2>/dev/null || echo "Check Granola > About"
Join or start any meeting (Zoom, Meet, Teams). Granola shows a floating notepad when it detects a calendar event with a conferencing link. Verify the live transcription indicator appears.
