Questions, answered

Is Foresight free?
Yes. Google offers the app as a free download with no account and no price on the official page. You only sign in with Google if you want to connect Google Drive or your calendar.
Does it replace Granola?
For one person on a Mac, it covers the core: background transcription, short bullets turned into notes, and chat over your meetings. Granola's free plan only shows a limited meeting history, and its Business plan costs $14 per user per month. Granola also has phone apps and shared folders for teams. Foresight is an experimental app and runs only on your Mac.
