Local first storage for doctors
A local first notes app that works offline
Work with no wifi and no worry.
Grape keeps a set of guideline summaries in a database on your own machine, so in the week before an exam a dead connection changes nothing about what you can open.
Writing, reading, organising, drawing and recording all work offline
You pick where the database file sits
Export any note, or the whole library, as Markdown, HTML or PDF
Run the AI locally through Ollama or LM Studio if you prefer
No account to start
Download, open, write. Accounts only matter for the paid plans.
Your choice of AI provider
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Ollama and more.
Export whenever you want
Markdown, HTML or PDF, one note at a time or the whole library.
You pick where the file sits
Point the database at any folder on your machine, and move it later.
The plane, the tunnel, the cabin
Writing, search, drawing and recording all work with no connection.
Local models if you want them
Run the AI through Ollama or LM Studio and nothing leaves the machine.
Impression
Three things that stop being lost after a shift
Not a feature list. What changes when guideline summaries and teaching can be drilled and searched.
01
The recertification is in six weeks and the notes are in four places.
Revise from your own reference notes
Turn guideline summaries and teaching into flashcards and quizzes for exams and recertification.
02
The protocol is filed under a name you gave it eighteen months ago.
Find the protocol the way you remember it
Search by the clinical situation, not the file name you gave it eighteen months ago.
03
Teaching goes past faster than you can write it down.
Capture teaching without typing through it
Record the session and read it back later as text you can search.
A rotation
What that looks like for doctors
Three points in a training year where the app earns its place.
01
After a shift
Write the anonymised learning point while it is still sharp.
02
Exam preparation
Turn a folder of notes into decks and quiz yourself on what you keep missing.
03
Teaching
Keep your slides, notes and questions in the same place year to year.
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.
Have it ready next time.
Guidelines, teaching notes, exam revision and the case that taught you something, in one local library with flashcards for the parts you need to hold on to.
