Grape
Web clipper for Chrome for freelancers

Clip the page. Keep it as a note.

A page worth keeping goes into Grape as a note, with the images and the source line, filed next to four client folders. Ask it questions later the way you would ask anything else you wrote.
1Clip it where you are reading
2It is filed before you switch windows
Article, selection or bookmark, chosen from one panel
Title, folder and tags corrected before you save
Images downloaded into the note, so the clip outlives the page
A keyboard shortcut and a right click menu for clips that never open the panel

Three ways to take a page

The readable article, only the part you highlighted, or just the title and the link.

Filed before it lands

Pick the folder and the tags in the panel, or set a default once and never see it again.

The pictures come too

Grape downloads every image into the note, so it reads offline and after the page is gone.

It says where it came from

Site, author and date on one line under the title, with the original a click away.

Two keys and it is saved

One shortcut clips the page, another clips the selection, with no panel in between.

Nothing passes through a server

The page goes from the browser to the app on your machine, and nowhere else.
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.
FAQ

Questions Before You Install It

The rest of them live in the help center.

Keep one clear head.

Briefs, calls, invoices to chase and the idea you had for a fifth project, in one library that costs nothing to start and works without a connection.
