AI notes for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android Take the note. Grape does the rest.
Record the meeting, dump the idea, sketch the thing you cannot explain yet. Then ask your own notes a question and get an answer instead of a list of search results.
Free to start. Works offline. Your notes stay on your device.
Results
Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what actually changes in the week.
Stop hunting for the note you know you wrote
Search by what you meant. The half remembered line comes back in about a second, even when you never used those words.
Leave the room with the notes already finished
Hit record, keep talking, and the transcript is sitting in the note before the next thing on your calendar starts.
Get something usable out of what you already wrote
Ask for a summary, a checklist or a set of flashcards and it comes back built from your notes, not from the internet.
AI agent
Ask your notes. Get an answer.
Grape has an agent, not just a chat box. It reads the workspace you already built, answers with the line you wrote, and carries out the tidying you ask for.
Summaries from your own words
A week of meeting notes becomes three bullet points you can send on.
Tidying stops being your job
Ask it to file the loose notes into folders and add the tags you already use.
Web search in the same chat
When the answer is not in your notes, it can look it up and write it in.
Semantic search
Find it by meaning, not by memory.
Every note is indexed as you write it. Search for the pricing thing we argued about and the right note comes back, even though none of those words are on the page.
No naming convention to keep up
Your filing can be a mess. Search reads what the note is about.
Best match first
Results are ranked by how close they are to what you described.
Folders and tags when you want them
Structure helps, it is just no longer the only way back to a note.
Voice recording and transcription
Say it out loud. Keep it in writing.
Record straight into a note on your laptop or your phone. Grape transcribes it, so an hour of talking ends up as text you can search, quote and ask questions about.
Capture on the move
Talk into your phone on the walk back and read it at your desk.
Transcript and notes together
Your own scribbles sit above the transcript, in the same note.
Searchable the moment it lands
An hour of audio becomes text you can find six months later.
Flashcards
Revise without making the cards.
Turn any note into a deck and review it inside the app. The cards come from your own material, so you are drilling the version you were actually taught.
The slow part is done for you
Writing the cards is what stops most people revising. Not anymore.
Ten minutes is enough
Short review sessions on the phone beat one long night before the exam.
Straight from your notes
No stranger on the internet deciding what matters in your course.
Adaptive quizzes
Find the gaps before somebody else does.
Grape writes a quiz from your note and adjusts to how you answer, so the questions get harder where you are solid and stay on the parts you keep missing.
Reading is not knowing
A quiz shows you the difference in about two minutes.
Targets the weak spots
Answers you miss come back around, the ones you know do not.
One note, one quiz
No question bank to build and no separate app to keep in sync.
Ten questions, not a hundred
Short enough to run before a lecture, long enough to tell you something.
Practice in a queue
The quiz is on your phone, so five spare minutes becomes revision.
Straight back to the note
Every question points at the line it came from, so you can go and reread it.
Mind maps
See how one topic hangs together.
Grape turns a note into a map of its own ideas, so a wall of text becomes branches you can follow. Useful when you are revising, and useful when you are still working out what you think.
Structure you cannot see in prose
Long notes hide their shape. A map puts it back on the surface.
Revision that is not rereading
Walking a map is a different pass over the same material.
Built from your note, not a template
The branches come from what you wrote, in your own words.
Brainrot videos
The note, as a video you cannot skip.
Grape writes a short script from the note, has a voice read it out and burns the captions over a gameplay clip, word by word. Under a minute of the format that holds attention, made from the material you actually have to know.
The format that gets watched
Vertical video, a voice narrating, captions landing on the beat.
Pick the voice and the world
Six voices over forty clips, so two notes never make the same video.
Captions with a look
Twenty one caption styles, from TikTok classic to neon to retro VHS.
The script is your note
Written from what you wrote, so the video teaches your material.
Under a minute
Long enough to cover a topic, short enough to actually watch twice.
Saved in the note it came from
The finished video sits with the writing, ready to replay or send on.
Infographics
The note, redrawn as a poster.
Grape reads the note, plans a layout and has an image model draw it: the title at the top, your sections as panels, the numbers as a chart. One picture that says what the note says, ready to insert back in or export to share.
A style for the audience
Corporate for the deck, hand drawn for the class, dark for the feed.
The shape the channel needs
A tall scroll for a phone, a landscape for a slide, a square for a post.
Made to leave the app
Export the poster and hand it to someone who will never read the note.
Graph view
See the whole library at once.
Graph view maps every note and the links between them. It is the wide shot: the place where you notice you have written about the same thing five times in three different folders.
Connections you did not plan
Two notes from different months turn out to be about the same thing.
Links do the work
Link note to note as you write and the map fills itself in.
Where your attention went
Note stats show what you have actually been writing about.
Drawing canvas
Draw the part words cannot carry.
Some thinking is spatial. Grape has an infinite canvas that lives inside a note, so the sketch and the writing about it never end up in two different apps.
Diagrams without a second app
Boxes and arrows are two clicks away instead of a context switch.
Sketch, then explain underneath
The caption you write is what makes the drawing findable later.
Draw with a pencil in hand
Rough it out on the phone, tidy it up at the desk.
Features
Everything Else It Does
Everything below is in the app today. Nothing here is a roadmap item.
Bring your own AI, or use ours
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio and more.
Work with no wifi and no worry
Your notes live in a database on your device. You choose where the file sits.
Your prompts, one keystroke away
Save the instructions you use constantly and run them on any note.
Pick up where you left off
Notes, drawings, decks, tags, chats and settings stay in step across devices.
Keep the sketch in the note it belongs to
An infinite canvas inside the note for diagrams, wireframes and rough thinking.
Answers that need the web, in the same chat
Grape can search the internet and drop what it finds into the note.
Keep the PDF next to your notes on it
Drop PDFs into a note, page through them and write alongside.
A daily backup you never have to remember
Made automatically on the device you use and kept for thirty days.
Connect a note to the notes around it
Link note to note, then see the whole web in graph view.
Find things in three keystrokes
Nested folders, drag and drop, hashtags with autocomplete and pinned notes.
Move in from your old app in one go
Import Apple Notes, or a folder of Markdown, with the structure intact.
Write without fighting the editor
Tables, checklists, images, files and slash commands for the rest.
Own the file, not a subscription to your own words
No lock in. The database is yours, on disk, from day one.
Desktop and mobile
The Same Notes at Your Desk and on the Train
Grape is a real desktop app and a real mobile app. One library, two ways of holding it.
Mac, Windows and Linux
The full workspace
Sidebar, editor, chat, drawing canvas and search in one window. This is where the long work happens: writing up, cleaning up and asking bigger questions of everything you have collected.
Keyboard shortcuts for everything you do often
A local database you can point wherever you like
iPhone and Android
Capture in ten seconds
Open the app, talk or type, done. Recording, chat and search sit one tap from the note list, so the thought gets saved while you still have it.
Record and transcribe on the move
The same notes you left open on your desk
Install it on everything you write on. Free, and no account needed.
Get the apps In practice
What that looks like on a normal day
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
The call you could not write during
Record it, let the transcript land in the note, then ask for the three things you agreed to.
The idea at the bus stop
Open the phone, talk for forty seconds, and find it waiting on your laptop when you sit down.
The thing you definitely wrote down once
Describe it in your own words in search and let meaning matching do the remembering.
The pile that never got sorted
Ask the agent to file the loose notes into folders and tag them, then check its work.
The chapter you have to know by Friday
Turn the note into a deck and a quiz, and find out what you actually retained.
The project you picked back up
Ask what you had already decided and get the answer with the note attached.

How to use it
Six Steps, About Ten Minutes
This is the whole onboarding. There is no workspace to design before you are allowed to write something.
01
Download and open it
No account, no setup wizard, no workspace to design first. Choose where your notes live and start typing.
02
Bring your old notes across
Import from Apple Notes, point Grape at a folder of Markdown files, or drag in the PDFs you keep reopening.
03
Put everything in one place
Type, paste, record, attach. Folders and tags are there when you want them and out of the way when you do not.
04
Ask instead of scrolling
Open the agent and ask a question about your own notes. The answer comes back with the note it came from.
05
Turn notes into the thing you needed
A summary, a deck of flashcards, a quiz, a mind map, or a clean export to send to somebody else.
06
Put it on your other devices
Turn on sync and the same library shows up on your phone, while each device keeps its own daily backup.
