Cross device sync for journalists
Pick up exactly where you left off.
Capture interviews and doorsteps on your phone and pick the work back up on your laptop, with the same library open in both places.
Notes, attachments, decks, tags, chats and settings all travel
Runs in the background as you write, not on a schedule you manage
Each device still keeps its own local copy, so offline is unaffected
Opt in, so a local only setup stays local
Capture there, finish here
The voice note from the walk home is open on your laptop.
No manual export step
Nothing to email yourself and nothing to copy between machines.
Local first, still
Sync adds a copy in the cloud, it does not take yours away.
More than the text
Attachments, decks, tags, chats and settings travel with the notes.
It runs while you write
No schedule to manage and no button to remember to press.
Off until you turn it on
Sync is opt in, so a local only setup stays exactly that.
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.
