Oats

A floating macOS panel that turns your Granola meeting notes into action.

---

Oats sits quietly in the top-right corner of your screen. Every time you finish a meeting in Granola, Oats reads the notes and extracts every action item and follow-up — sorted, labelled, and ready to act on before you've even closed the tab.
