Locked notes for freelancers
Lock a note. Nobody else can read it, not even us.
A locked note is encrypted on your device with a password only you know. It syncs like any other note, but what reaches our servers is a sealed block of text: no AI reads it, no search indexes it, and we could not open it if we were asked to. On every plan.
Encrypted on your laptop or phone before it syncs, with AES-256 and a key stretched from your password
One password for every locked note, typed once and locked again after a few minutes
A recovery key shown once when you set the password, the one other way in
Left out of search, the AI, the index, widgets and exports while it is locked
Its title stays in the list on every device, so you can tell your locked notes apart
Sealed before it leaves
The note is encrypted on your device. The password never leaves it, and the server holds only a block it cannot read.
A recovery key, once
Grape cannot reset a locked notes password, because it never has it. The recovery key you saved is the one other way in.
One password, every locked note
Type it once and every locked note opens until Grape locks them again: after a few minutes, in the background, or when you say so.
The AI never sees it
A locked note is left out of chat, semantic search, the index and any AI app connected to your account.
Syncs sealed
It travels between your devices encrypted, and opens on the phone with the same password you set on the laptop.
Text notes, for now
Headings, lists, tables, code and links lock. A note with an image or a recording asks you to take it out first.
the gist
Three things that stop costing you unpaid hours
Not a feature tour. What changes when four clients live in one head that is not yours.
Every client switch costs twenty minutes of remembering where things stood.
Switch clients without losing context
Ask what happened last with a client and start the call already caught up.
The kickoff call was clear and the brief written afterwards is not.
Turn the kickoff call into the brief
Record it, get the transcript, and ask for the scope and deliverables in writing.
The invoice dates and follow ups are in a place you never open.
Keep the admin somewhere you will look
Checklists, dates and follow ups in the same note as the work itself.
a working month
What that looks like for freelancers
Three moments where the app gives you an hour back.
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
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.
