Rich block editor for journalists
Write anything without fighting the editor.
Everything interviews and doorsteps throw at you fits in one note: headings, checklists, tables, images and PDFs, with slash commands instead of menus.
Headings, lists, checklists, quotes, tables and dividers
Pasted Markdown that arrives as formatted text, and export back out to it
Images, audio and PDFs dropped straight into the note
Slash commands, drag handles and note to note links
Read the PDF where you write about it
Page through a document and take notes on it in the same place.
Structure without the menu hunt
Slash commands drop a table, a checklist or a divider where the cursor is.
Nothing is ever really deleted
Version history keeps earlier drafts of every note you write.
Results
Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for journalists.
The quote is text before you are back at the desk
Record on the phone, get the transcript in the note, and pull the line you need straight into the draft.
Reopen a story you dropped in March
Ask your notes what you had on a subject and get the answer with the note attached.
Keep the background in the same place as the copy
Documents, PDFs, links and your own notes sit in one folder rather than four apps.
In practice
What that looks like for journalists
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
In the field
Record, tag the note with the story slug, and move on to the next call.
Back at the desk
Read the transcript, mark the usable quotes and draft in the same note.
Six months later
Search the archive by what happened rather than what you named the file.
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.
