Adaptive quizzes for developers
Turn your notes into a quiz
Find the gaps before somebody else does.
A quiz written from a pile of runbooks and notes shows the difference between having read something and knowing it. Useful at midnight when something breaks, and more useful the week before that.
Questions generated from the note in front of you
The difficulty follows how you are actually doing
See which topics you keep getting wrong
Or write and edit the questions yourself, on any plan
Works on the phone, so waiting anywhere becomes practice
Reading is not knowing
A quiz shows you the difference in about two minutes.
Targets the weak spots
Answers you miss come back around, the ones you know do not.
One note, one quiz
No question bank to build and no separate app to keep in sync.
Ten questions, not a hundred
Short enough to run before a lecture, long enough to tell you something.
Practice in a queue
The quiz is on your phone, so five spare minutes becomes revision.
Straight back to the note
Every question points at the line it came from, so you can go and reread it.

Three bugs in the workflow, closed
No feature tour. What changes when your runbooks can be queried instead of grepped.
1.
You fixed this bug in March and are debugging it again from scratch.
Stop solving the same bug twice
Describe the symptom in search and get the note where you already worked it out.
2.
The decision lives in a Slack thread that scrolled away.
Keep decisions where you can defend them
Ask what you decided about a service and get the note, the date and the reasoning.
3.
The AI tool wants your notes on its server, and you want them on disk.
Point the AI at your own stack
Bring your own key, or run a local model through Ollama, and keep the workspace on disk.
// usage
What that looks like for developers
Three points in a sprint where the tool earns its slot.
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.
At a glance
From Notes to a Quiz
What goes in
One note, and the level you want: easy, normal or difficult, or adaptive to let the quiz pick as you answer.
What comes out
Ten multiple choice questions with four answers each, written from the note. In adaptive mode a wrong answer steps the next question down a level and two right in a row step it up.
Which plan
Pro, with Grape AI built in, or Lifetime with your own AI key. On Free and Sync you write the questions yourself, and every plan can edit a quiz 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.

Questions Before You Install It
The rest of them live in the help center.
- Can I run the AI locally?
- Yes. Grape connects to Ollama and LM Studio as well as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, DeepSeek, Grok and OpenRouter, and you can add any OpenAI compatible endpoint yourself.
- How does it handle technical notes?
- Inline code, tables, checklists, Markdown paste that keeps formatting, and export back out to Markdown when you want the note somewhere else.
- What is Grape, in one paragraph?
- Grape is a note app for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android with AI built into the middle of it rather than bolted on the side. You write, record and collect things the normal way, and then you can search by meaning, ask questions about your own notes, and turn any note into a summary, a set of flashcards, a quiz or a mind map.
- What makes it different from other note apps?
- Most note apps treat AI as an extra panel. In Grape the agent works on your workspace: it can read, create, edit, move, tag and delete notes, and every answer points back to the note it came from. Semantic search, voice transcription, flashcards, quizzes, mind maps and the drawing canvas all live inside the editor rather than in separate tools.
- Where do my notes actually live?
- On your device, in a local database, and you can choose where that file sits. Nothing needs to leave your machine for the app to work. If you turn on sync with a Sync or Pro plan, your notes are also stored in the cloud so your devices can stay in step. On Lifetime they sync through your own Dropbox or Google Drive instead, and Grape never sees them.
- Do I need an account to use it?
- No. Download the app and start writing. You only need an account for the paid plans, which is where cross device sync and built in AI come in.
