MyNotes for meeting notes

The pitch

Meeting minutes have a specific shape: a date, attendees, decisions, actions. They're useless three weeks later if you can't find them. MyNotes is a lightweight notebook that handles all of that — fast rich-text editor, full-text search across every note, public per-meeting share links, and export-as-PDF when someone asks for the official record.

A workflow that holds up

1. One folder per meeting cadence. "Weekly standup", "Board meetings", "Customer calls — Acme Co".
2. One note per session. Title format that future-you will scan: 2026-04-28 — Standup — sprint 14.
3. Type during the meeting. Headings for sections (Updates, Decisions, Actions), lists for action items, bold for the action owner's name.
4. Share a public link with the room afterwards. Toggle Share; copy the URL; paste into Slack / email. Anyone with the link reads — no MyNotes account required.
5. Three months later, search. "When did we agree the launch was Q3?" — search the phrase, find the meeting from sprint 7.

What makes it work

• Autosave. Edits persist as you type — meeting interruptions don't lose anything.
• Public share link, instant revoke. Toggle off when the project's done; the URL stops working immediately.
• Version history. Edit a note after the meeting to clean up actions; the last 5 saves are still recoverable from History (one snapshot per ~10-minute editing session).
• Export as .pdf or .docx for any meeting that needs an official record.
• Append-only mode for running standup logs. One note titled "Standups 2026" that grows entry-by-entry — accidental overwrites are blocked.
• Sort by date, name, or size. "Most recent meeting" is one click.

Honest limits

• No real-time collaboration. One person types per note — there are no cursors, no comments, no @-mentions. If multiple people need to type into the same minutes simultaneously, Google Docs or Notion fits better.
• No automatic transcription. MyNotes doesn't record or transcribe audio. Tools like Otter, Granola, and Fireflies do that well; you can paste their output into a MyNotes note for searchable archival.
• No calendar integration. No Zoom plugin, no Google Calendar sidebar.

For a solo manager, a one-person consultant, or anyone who's the designated note-taker, those limits rarely matter. For larger teams that need synchronous co-writing, layer MyNotes on top: take notes live in Docs, paste into MyNotes when the meeting ends so it's searchable forever.

Pricing

Free for 10 meetings. $19 / year for 1,000 — fits five years of weekly meetings or two years of daily standups. The Dev tier ($99/year) adds an API if you want a script that auto-creates a note from each calendar event.
