Today, we're dropping a little surprise into your Granola app. It's called Crunched. It's a celebration of your year, as told by your meeting notes.
We know it's a little cliche; it feels like every software company has one. They're usually a warm, beautiful presentation of cold, hard data, perfectly shareable insights based on your activity on their platforms. What does listening to 4,204 hours of Taylor Swift say about you? How did running 405 kilometers affect your fitness?
But… what if we could do something new?
Meetings are where you have ideas, make decisions, get things done.
So we built Crunched. A celebration of your year, drawn from your notes. And because it's Granola, every single Crunched will be different. Your meetings, your own personal Crunched.
Get yours in the Granola app for Mac or PC today.
Building Crunched
We didn't just want to show you lots of stats. We wanted to reflect your 2025 back to you. A year is a long time and you (probably?) got a lot done. Let's celebrate that!
We had lots of questions to answer: how do we build the infrastructure to support the Crunched experience at scale? What are the perfect prompts to get the experience just right? What insights would you find actually interesting, and shareable? How could we design the experience to feel fun? You'll hear more about these questions over the next week.
We also built Crunched in a way that should feel personal to you. Your Granola is yours: you tell us all the time how it feels like an intimate notepad for you and your meetings. Crunched respects this: only you can see your Crunched. You can choose to share insights from it if you'd like – and we hope you do – but it's ultimately just for you.
We hope you like Crunched as much as we enjoyed making it
We've had a lot of fun reading our own over the last few weeks, and tweaking the experience to make it feel just right for you.
We built Granola for people who value progress over process. For folks who are doing things that matter, one meeting at a time. So we hope Crunched helps chart your journey in 2025, helps you recall a few great things you got done this year and even makes you giggle a bit.
It's been a wonderful year at Granola: our small team grew by almost 100%, still based in the heart of Shoreditch, London. There are more people than ever using Granola today too. Yet it still feels like we're just getting started.
A very happy holidays from all of us at Granola, and we hope you have a wonderful, fruitful 2026.
Jack, Marketing
