Shared folders and notes for founders
Share notes and folders and write in them together
Share a folder. Write in it together.
Invite people to a folder or a note and work in it from your own Grape. Sharing comes with Sync and Pro, and on Pro you see each other type, with a named cursor for each person.
Share a folder with its subfolders and notes, or a single note on its own
Can edit for the people you work with, Can view for the ones who only read
Edits merge, so two people in the same paragraph never overwrite each other
On Pro, everyone in the note types live, each with a cursor that carries their name
On Sync, edits arrive with sync a couple of seconds later and merge the same way
You and everyone you invite need Sync or Pro, and a locked note is never shared
Invite by email
Type an address, choose Can edit or Can view and send. They join from the email or from the app.
See each other type
On Pro, everyone in the note writes live, with a cursor in their own colour that carries their name.
Can edit or Can view
Editing for the people you work with, reading only for the ones who just need to keep up.
On Sync, edits merge
Changes arrive a couple of seconds after they are made, and both sides are kept rather than overwritten.
See who changed what
Version history lists every edit under the name of whoever made it, with what they added and deleted.
Your undo stays yours
In a live note, undo takes back what you typed and never the line someone else just wrote.
The upshot
Three things you stop dropping
No feature tour. What changes when twelve conversations a day land somewhere that remembers them.
Without Grape
You promised something on a call two weeks ago and cannot recall to whom.
The investor remembers the last conversation better than you do.
The decision is written down. The reasoning was never written anywhere.
With Grape
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.
A week
What that looks like for founders
Three points in a founder week where the app pays back its minute.
01
Fundraising
One note per investor, updated after every call, searchable across the whole round.
02
Hiring
Record interviews with permission and compare candidates from transcripts, not memory.
03
Weekly reset
Ask for everything you captured this week and turn it into next week.
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
Questions Before You Install It
The rest of them 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 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.
One place remembers them.
Investor calls, candidate notes, customer promises and the strategy you rewrote on Sunday, in one library you can question instead of scroll.
