FAQ
What is Reline?
Reline is an AI notepad for meetings, lectures, and 1:1s. It records on your device (no bot joins your call), transcribes every speaker live, summarizes with citations, and lets you push action items to Slack, Linear, and Notion.
Is Reline a good Granola alternative?
Yes. Reline keeps the no-bot, on-device recording approach and adds team collaboration, granular permissions, reusable AI Lenses, multi-note rollups, and a free tier.
How is Reline different from Otter.ai or Fireflies?
Otter and Fireflies send a meeting bot to join your call. Reline records system audio and microphone locally, so nothing appears in your meeting and no bot joins.
Does Reline work on Mac?
Yes. Reline has native desktop apps for macOS 12+, Windows 10+, and Linux (beta). You can also use the full web app.
How much does Reline cost?
Free for solo note-takers; Professional at $15/user/month; Enterprise at $32/user/month. Annual billing discounts available.
Is my meeting audio used to train AI models?
No. Reline routes prompts through an AI gateway that forgets inputs. Your audio and transcripts never train third-party models.
What languages does Reline support?
Live transcription in 60+ languages. UI available in English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, and Arabic.
