Local first storage for founders
Work with no wifi and no worry.
Grape keeps everything you promised somebody in a database on your own machine, so before the next call 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.
Results
Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for founders.
Remember what you promised who
Ask your notes for the commitments from the last two weeks and get them with dates.
Walk into the next investor call warm
Pull up the note from the last conversation and the summary of what changed since.
Keep the thinking, not just the outcome
Record the argument, keep the transcript, and revisit why the call went the way it did.
In practice
What that looks like for founders
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
Fundraising
One note per investor, updated after every call, searchable across the whole round.
Hiring
Record interviews with permission and compare candidates from transcripts, not memory.
Weekly reset
Ask for everything you captured this week and turn it into next week.
The rest of the app
