Semantic search for designers
Search your notes by meaning
Find it by meaning, not by memory.
Describe a user flow the way you remember it and the right note comes back. No naming convention to keep up with across a project folder, and no scrolling through research sessions and critiques you filed months ago.
Meaning based search across everything you have ever written
Exact matches still work when you know the term
Narrow down by folder, tag or date when you know where to look
The same search on desktop and on your phone
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.
Indexed as you type
A note is findable by meaning the moment you stop writing it.
The same search on your phone
The thing you half remember is one tap away from the note list.
The agent searches the same way
Chat finds the right notes with it before it writes you an answer.
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.
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.
