Before you install

Three Things Worth Knowing

Windows shows a warning

The installer is new enough that SmartScreen flags it. Choose More info and then Run anyway to continue.

Which Mac build

Apple Silicon for M1 and newer, Intel for older machines. If you are not sure, check the About This Mac window.

Mobile apps

Android is out on Google Play and iPhone is out on the App Store. Both sync with the desktop app on a Pro plan.
Setup

Six Steps Between Two Calls

No workspace to design. Install it, record the next conversation, ask what you promised.
  1. 01

    Download and open it

    No account, no setup wizard, no workspace to design first. Choose where your notes live and start typing.
  2. 02

    Bring your old notes across

    Import from Apple Notes, point Grape at a folder of Markdown files, or drag in the PDFs you keep reopening.
  3. 03

    Put everything in one place

    Type, paste, record, attach, clip a page from Chrome or share one from your phone. Folders and tags are there when you want them and out of the way when you do not.
Questions

Installing, Accounts and Getting Your Notes In

The rest of the answers live in the help center.
Is this a CRM?
No. It is the notebook next to your CRM. Grape holds the conversations and the thinking, and you keep pipeline data wherever your team already tracks it.
Can I keep everything on my own machine?
Yes. The database is local by default and sync is opt in. If you want AI without a hosted provider, point Grape at a local model.
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.
What does the free plan actually include?
Unlimited notes, folders and tags, the full editor, the drawing canvas, attachments and voice recording, from the iPhone Lock Screen too, plus flashcards, quizzes, mind maps and slide decks you make by hand, with no account and no time limit. Version history, daily backups, import and export come with any paid plan, and the AI features are on the Pro and Lifetime plans.

One Download, Five Platforms
