Granola launches an Apple Watch app

Core Impact Points

• Granola's Apple Watch app can set the app as one of the watch faces to start transcribing at any time, making it easier to capture in-person meetings.
• The app can also surface reminders about upcoming meetings and works with the iOS app, which launched last year.
• Granola's co-founder, Chris Pedregal, stated that the Apple Watch app is meant to be a way to capture in-person meetings without having to take your phone out of your pocket.
• Granola tested its app with employees who had Apple Watches, and a big chunk of their mobile usage switched from iOS to the Watch, the company said.
• The company considered it easier to develop an app for Apple Watches rather than integrate with another hardware product at this point.
• Granola became a unicorn earlier this year with a $125 million Series C round that was led by Index Ventures.
