Flashcards for designers
Turn your notes into flashcards
Revise without making the cards.
Turn a project folder into a deck without writing the cards. The questions come out of what you captured yourself, which is the version that matters for the rationale.
A deck generated from a single note in one step
Or write and edit the cards yourself, on any plan
Review inside the app on desktop or phone
Cards stay attached to the note they came from
Decks sync across your devices on a paid plan
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.
Review wherever you are
The deck is on your phone, so the bus ride home counts as a session.
Decks follow you across devices
Start on the laptop and finish on the phone on any paid plan.
Every card knows its note
A card you keep missing takes you back to the paragraph behind it.
01 Outcomes
Three problems, resolved
Not a feature grid. What changes when the sketch and the reasoning live in the same file.
01
The sketch is in one app and the reasoning is in another.
Draw the idea inside the note
An infinite canvas sits in the editor, so a wireframe and the thinking behind it stay together.
02
Six months on, nobody can say why the pattern was chosen.
Explain a decision six months later
Ask why a pattern was chosen and get the note where you argued it out.
03
Research sessions end as a folder of recordings nobody plays back.
Run research without a second tool
Record the session, get the transcript, and pull the quotes into the summary.
04 In use
What that looks like for designers
Three points in a project where the tool changes the work.
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.
At a glance
From Notes to Flashcards
What goes in
One note, such as your lecture notes, a chapter summary or a page you clipped from the web. The cards are written from what it says.
What comes out
A deck of ten cards, a question on the front and the answer on the back, kept in the note it came from. Flip through them on your laptop or your phone.
Which plan
Pro, with Grape AI built in, or Lifetime with your own AI key. On Free and Sync you write the cards yourself, and every plan can edit a deck by hand.
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.
07 Questions
Questions Before You Install It
The rest of them live in the help center.
Keep both in the same note.
Drawing canvas, screenshots, research and the reasoning behind a decision in one place, so the rationale survives longer than the file name.
