A personal memory for Granola

Marbles remembers the person behind each Granola meeting, across every meeting you’ve had with them. Granola keeps the meeting. Marbles keeps who they are.

How it works

1. Add your Granola API key, sign in, allow Contacts, and connect your calendar. Google Calendar connects directly. Outlook, Exchange, and iCloud work through the Mac Calendar app.
2. Marbles uses Granola’s API on Business or Enterprise. Other Granola plans, including Basic, can’t use it. On Enterprise, an admin turns on API access.
3. It imports your past Granola meetings, then keeps up with new ones. Exclude a folder and Marbles will not import it.
4. Sure facts save. The rest go to a quick review, where you approve, edit, or dismiss them. Each fact stays linked to the meeting it came from.

What the brief shows

A Mac notification opens one screen before a meeting with someone you’ve met. 10 minutes ahead by default, adjustable from 5 to 120. It stays quiet when there’s nothing to show.

• What to open with.
• What is worth remembering.
• Handle with care. Never used as an opener.
• Each line links back to its meeting.

It leaves out deal terms, pricing, project tasks, action items, and your own to-dos.

Best fit and not the best fit

Best fit: people who already use Granola Business or Enterprise on an Apple silicon Mac and meet the same people more than once.

Not the best fit: Windows or iPhone, a team CRM, or meetings you have once and never again. There is no Intel, Windows, or iPhone app.

Requirements

Granola Business or Enterprise, on an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later. See pricing, and how this differs from Granola’s own briefs.
