Breakfast

A macOS menubar app that syncs your Granola meeting notes to a local folder as Markdown files.

Features

• Auto-sync when meetings end (watches Granola cache for changes)
• One-click sync from the menubar
• Recent Notes submenu for quick access to last 5 synced notes
• Clickable notifications - click to open the synced note
• Action items extraction - automatically finds TODOs, ACTION items, FOLLOW UPs
• Sync stats - shows meeting count and last sync time in menu
• Obsidian integration - AI-powered organization into your vault (optional)
• Exports notes, transcripts, and metadata (attendees, timestamps, meeting links)
• Markdown files with YAML frontmatter for easy searching/indexing
• Auto-start at login via launchd

Installation

git clone https://github.com/kllymx/Breakfast.git
cd Breakfast
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

This will:

1. Create a Python virtual environment
2. Install dependencies (rumps, pyobjc)
3. Configure auto-start at login
4. Launch the menubar app

Usage

Menubar App

Look for the icon in your menubar:

Menu Item	Action
Sync Now	Sync all new meetings
Sync Last 7 Days	Re-sync recent meetings (overwrites)
Recent Notes	Quick access to last 5 synced notes
Open Notes Folder	Opens the output directory
X meetings synced	Total meeting count
Last sync: Xm ago	Time since last sync
View Log	Opens sync log in Console

Command Line

node index.js              # Sync all meetings
node index.js --days 7     # Sync last 7 days
node index.js --force      # Force overwrite existing files
node index.js --verbose    # Verbose output

Configuration

Set GRANOLA_OUTPUT_DIR environment variable to change where notes are saved:

export GRANOLA_OUTPUT_DIR="$HOME/Notes/Meetings"

Default: ~/Documents/Granola Notes

Managing the App

The install script configures launchd to auto-start the app at login. Launchd manages the process—don't manually start the app when launchd is active, or you'll get duplicate icons.

# Stop the app
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.arcane.granola-sync.plist

# Start the app
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.arcane.granola-sync.plist

# Restart (after config changes)
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.arcane.granola-sync.plist
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.arcane.granola-sync.plist

Uninstall

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.arcane.granola-sync.plist
rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.arcane.granola-sync.plist

Output Format

Each meeting exports as YYYY-MM-DD-meeting-title.md:

---

Requirements

• macOS
• Node.js (for sync script)
• Python 3 (for menubar app)
• Granola desktop app

Obsidian Integration (Optional)

Use Claude Code to automatically organize notes into your Obsidian vault with proper links, tags, and folder structure.

Requirements

• Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated
• An Obsidian vault

Setup

1. Copy the example config:

   cp config.example.json config.json

2. Edit config.json:

   {
     "obsidian": {
       "enabled": true,
       "vault_path": "~/Documents/YourVault",
       "meetings_folder": "Meetings",
       "auto_import": false,
       "claude_instructions": "Your instructions here..."
     }
   }

3. Customize claude_instructions for your vault structure. The example config includes a full template with:

   • Client identification from email domains
   • Client file creation/linking
   • Meeting note template with frontmatter, wiki links, action items
   • Full transcript preservation

   See config.example.json for the complete template you can customize.

Menubar Options

Menu Item	Description
Import to Obsidian	Import new notes in background (uses manifest to skip already-imported)
Force Re-import All (Live)	Opens Terminal with Claude Code UI to process all notes interactively
Open Obsidian Vault	Opens your vault folder

How It Works

• Import to Obsidian: Runs headlessly in background, processes one note at a time, tracks imported notes in .breakfast-imported.json manifest
• Force Re-import All (Live): Opens a single Claude Code session that scans all notes and processes them—you can watch Claude work in real-time

Command Line

node obsidian-import.js              # Import new notes (headless)
node obsidian-import.js --force      # Re-import all notes
node obsidian-import.js --dry-run    # Preview what would import
node obsidian-import.js --live       # Interactive mode (shows Claude UI)

How It Works

Granola stores meeting data locally at ~/Library/Application Support/Granola/cache-v3.json. This tool reads that cache and exports meetings as Markdown files.

Transcripts: Since Granola stores transcripts on their servers (not locally), we fetch them via Granola's API using your existing auth token from ~/Library/Application Support/Granola/supabase.json. This is created automatically when you log into Granola — no additional setup required.
