Apps for lawyers
A real app on the desk and in your pocket.
Most lawyers capture on a phone and think on a laptop. Grape is a real app on both, with the same library in each and attendance notes and calls landing wherever you are.
Full workspace on desktop: sidebar, editor, chat, canvas and search
Ten second capture on mobile: open, talk or type, done
Keyboard shortcuts on desktop for everything you do often
The same library on every device once sync is on
Desktop for the long work
Writing up, cleaning up and asking bigger questions of everything.
Mobile for the moment it happens
Recording, chat and search are one tap from the note list.
Local on both
Each device keeps its own copy, so a dead connection changes nothing.
Ten second capture on mobile
Open the app, talk or type, and it is already saved when you look up.
Shortcuts for what you repeat
The desktop app has a key for everything you do twice a day.
One library on both
Turn sync on and the desk and the pocket hold the same notes.
Results
Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for lawyers.
Find the point without rereading the file
Search by the issue rather than the document name and get the note that covers it.
Attendance notes written from the call
Record where you are permitted to, and work from an accurate transcript instead of memory.
Keep research and reasoning together
PDFs, extracts and your own analysis live in the same note, in the same matter folder.
In practice
What that looks like for lawyers
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
New matter
One folder, one chronology note, and everything else linked to it.
Research
Keep the PDF and your extract in the same note so the reasoning survives.
Before a hearing
Ask your notes for the chronology and the open points.
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.
