Grape
Backups and version history for consultants

Daily backups and version history for your notes

Every day ends with a backup of everything.
Grape backs up an engagement folder automatically every day on the device you use. One archive restores everything, and version history covers the smaller slips.
One archive with notes, attachments and structure
Made daily on the device you use, not synced between devices
Restore across platforms, so a Mac backup opens on Windows
Backups kept for thirty days and cleared automatically after that
Version history on every note, on the device and never synced

Moving to a new machine

Make a backup, install Grape, restore. That is the whole migration.

The paragraph you deleted

Version history brings it back without touching the rest of the note.

Before anything risky

Grape saves a version before the agent edits a note for you.

Made daily without asking

The device you use writes a copy, so there is always one from yesterday.

A backup crosses platforms

One made on a Mac restores onto Windows with no conversion step.

One archive, everything in it

Notes, attachments and structure in a single file you can put anywhere.
Executive summary

Three things that stop being billable friction

Not a capability list. What changes when interviews become findings the same day.
01
Interview week ends with ten recordings and no findings.

Interviews become findings the same day

Record, transcribe, then ask what came up across the whole engagement folder.
02
Switching clients means fifteen minutes of reading before you can think.

Switch clients without losing the thread

One folder per engagement and search that works across all of them when you need a precedent.
03
You solved a version of this two years ago and cannot find the deck.

Reuse what you learned last time

Ask your archive how you handled a similar problem two years ago.
An engagement

What that looks like for consultants

Three points in a project where the tool changes the work.
01

Discovery week

Record every interview into the client folder and let search find the patterns.
02

Synthesis

Ask for the themes, check the quotes, and draft the findings in the same note.
03

Between engagements

Search old work for the framework you built and adapt it.
Questions

Questions Before You Install It

The rest of them live in the help center.
Every question

Not for rewriting your notes.

Client interviews, site visits, findings and drafts in one library, so the deliverable comes out of the work you already did instead of a blank page.
