Tools for meeting notes and follow-ups — the short answers
Every number here comes from our own daily check — not from a vendor list.
Tools for meeting notes and follow-ups — how many are there?
Tablif is tracking 73 of them. 73 answered our check today.
Which ones are still maintained?
Tablif knocks on every door once a day and records the answer. 73 of these 73 responded on the latest run, so that number is what "still here" means on this page — not a review score.
Are any of them free?
14 of the live ones say so in their own words, and 6 let you start without making an account. Tablif records the claim the product makes; we don't verify pricing.
Any open-source options?
2 of the live ones on Tablif mention being open source.
What's the newest one?
TalkPilot: Real-Time Meeting Translator — Tablif first saw it yesterday.
Did a person actually look at these?
73 of them Tablif opened and read, then wrote a one-line summary in our own words instead of reusing the founder's tagline. The rest carry keyword labels we haven't confirmed by reading yet — and we say so rather than hiding it.
