I have been looking for a tool that better connects meetings to notes. I have some local scripting to connect meetings to notes and collect TODOs across my dozens of meetings/week. It looks like Hera could've replaced a lot of my custom setup!

But storing in your cloud, and needing access via G Suite is a non-starter. You won't get much for early adopters in top-end enterprise if you need _yet more apps installed in G Suite_ AND _sync to yet another cloud for infosec to have to vet_.

vs.

> Hey infosec, I have a local application that reads from Mac's calendar integration and stores notes locally.

There's definitely a segment of people for which GSuite access and cloud storage of notes is a non-starter, but in many cases those can be mitigated even when it comes to early adopters in larger enterprise companies (eg SOC-2 compliance). On top of that, you get a lot of the usual benefits when using a collaborative tool: others can help take notes for your meetings so that effort is shared, agendas can be prepared beforehand, contributed to by all the meeting attendees, and easily accessed via your meeting invite.

Understood, right now your meeting notes are not encrypted, but stored in a secure database on our server. We are currently considering two options to make sure your notes are safe: either end-to-end encryption on our servers or offline-based storage for your notes.

Thanks for the remark

I was super excited until I saw this; I guess I'll have to wait. Offline storage is essential for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the ability to reach my notes if Hera is having an outage.

Totally understandable!

Look at Agenda. You connect your calendar locally (with optional iCloud or Dropbox sync) and then you have a note that’s attached to a calendar event and a project (client name, coworker name, whatever.) Each note has a to-review/to-complete status and you can save searches to keep on top of your notes and plan ahead. It’s a really smart model and saves me a lot of time.
