Themes for designers
Paint the app the way you like it.
Twenty-four themes repaint the whole app around a project folder: the panels, the editor, the drawings and the notebook paper. Pick a light one for the day and a dark one for the late shift, so the app looks right six months after a decision too, and both follow you to every device.
Twelve light themes and twelve dark ones, from Paper to Tokyo Night
One pick for light and one for dark, and System moves between them with your device
Your accent colour stays your own on top of any theme, on every plan
Part of Grape Pro, and your picks wait for you if the plan ever lapses
The palettes you already know
Nord, Dracula, Solarized, Catppuccin, Gruvbox, Rosé Pine, GitHub, One, Ayu, Everforest, Flexoki and Monokai, mapped onto every part of the app.
Paper, for long afternoons
A warm, low contrast page for reading and writing for hours without the glare of a white screen.
Midnight, for the small hours
True black, so an OLED screen switches its pixels off and the note is the only thing lit.
Drawings and paper follow
The canvas, the notebook pages and the automatic pen colour all take the theme with them.
Seventeen accents on top
Amber, teal, rose or any of the others, in the buttons and selections of whichever theme you are in.
The same look on every device
Pick Nord at the desk and the phone opens in Nord, with Pro keeping both picks in step through sync.
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.

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.
