Apps for freelancers
A real app on the desk and in your pocket.
Most freelancers capture on a phone and think on a laptop. Grape is a real app on both, with the same library in each and kickoff calls and briefs landing wherever you are.
Full workspace on desktop: sidebar, editor, chat, canvas and search
Ten second capture on mobile: open, talk or type, done
Keyboard shortcuts on desktop for everything you do often
The same library on every device once sync is on
Desktop for the long work
Writing up, cleaning up and asking bigger questions of everything.
Mobile for the moment it happens
Recording, chat and search are one tap from the note list.
Local on both
Each device keeps its own copy, so a dead connection changes nothing.
Results
Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for freelancers.
Switch clients without losing context
Ask what happened last with a client and start the call already caught up.
Turn the kickoff call into the brief
Record it, get the transcript, and ask for the scope and deliverables in writing.
Keep the admin somewhere you will look
Checklists, dates and follow ups in the same note as the work itself.
In practice
What that looks like for freelancers
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
New enquiry
Record the call, get the scope out of the transcript, and quote from that.
Delivery
One folder per client with the brief, the work notes and the checklist.
End of month
Ask what you delivered and what is still unpaid.
The rest of the app
