Backups and version history for designers
Every day ends with a backup of everything.
Grape backs up a project 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 for rolling back a paragraph
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.
Results
Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for designers.
Draw the idea inside the note
An infinite canvas sits in the editor, so a wireframe and the thinking behind it stay together.
Explain a decision six months later
Ask why a pattern was chosen and get the note where you argued it out.
Run research without a second tool
Record the session, get the transcript, and pull the quotes into the summary.
In practice
What that looks like for designers
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
Kickoff
Collect the constraints, screenshots and references into one note per problem.
Exploration
Sketch on the canvas, write the tradeoffs underneath and link to related notes.
Critique
Record the feedback session so you are listening instead of typing.
The rest of the app
What Else Grape Does
Every part of the app is built around the same idea: keep what you write, and hand it back when you need it.
