Backups and version history for developers
Every day ends with a backup of everything.
Grape backs up a pile of runbooks and notes 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 developers.
Stop solving the same bug twice
Describe the symptom in search and get the note where you already worked it out.
Keep decisions where you can defend them
Ask what you decided about a service and get the note, the date and the reasoning.
Point the AI at your own stack
Bring your own key, or run a local model through Ollama, and keep the workspace on disk.
In practice
What that looks like for developers
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
Debugging
Write the symptom, the theory and the fix in one note, with the log you kept attached.
Architecture review
Record the conversation and keep the decision log next to the diagram.
New project
Keep the setup steps in a runbook that actually gets found again.
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.
