Share to Grape from your phone

Send a page, a link, a photo, a PDF or a recording from any app on iPhone or Android and get a note back.

Grape sits in the share sheet on iPhone and Android, so anything you can share from another app can become a note.

Sharing a page

In Safari or Chrome, tap Share, which Safari keeps behind its three dots, and choose Grape. The sheet reads the page, shows you the title and the body, and saves a note when you press Save. On iPhone the page is read inside Safari itself. When the share arrives from another app with only a link, Grape fetches the page in the background and saves it once it has read it.

Step by stepOn mobile
1In Safari, tap the three dots at the bottom right, then Share.
2Choose Grape in the row of apps.
3Check the title and the body, then tap Save.
4The page is in Grape as a note, pictures and all.

Article, selection or bookmark

The same three modes as the desktop web clipper are offered in the sheet: the readable article, only the text you highlighted, or the title and the link on their own. The title and body sit in editable fields, so what is on screen when you press Save is the note you get.

Sharing from a notes app

Text shared from Apple Notes, Bear or any app that hands over words becomes a note of its own. Its first line moves into the title field and out of the body, since a Grape note's title is its first line, so the note never says it twice. Checklists stay checklists, with the ticked items still ticked, and bulleted and numbered lists stay lists. Lists nested inside other lists arrive flat, because Apple Notes shares them that way. A text whose first line runs longer than a title keeps it as its opening line.

Choosing the folder

The sheet lists your own folders. Pick one there, or skip it and the note lands in your default folder where you can move it later.

Step by stepOn mobile
1Tap the folder row under the body.
2Pick one of your folders.
3The row names the folder the note will land in.

Photos, PDFs and recordings

Grape takes more than pages. A photo, a PDF or a voice memo shared to Grape arrives as an attachment in the note: images as image blocks, documents as PDF blocks whose text search and the AI read, and audio as a voice block with its length carried through. Pictures a shared page points at are downloaded into the images folder, so the note reads without the network.

On Android

Grape registers as a share destination for text, links, images and files. A shared link is read through a hidden web view and saved in the background, so the app does not have to be open for the note to arrive.

Where the note ends up

Shared notes join the queue and are written the next time the app opens, then sync carries them to your other devices. A page shared from the phone and the same page clipped in Chrome read identically.

Starting from the home screen

For a note, a recording, a scan or a handwritten page that begins with you rather than with another app, the widgets start one without opening Grape first.
