Backups and version history for lawyers
Every day ends with a backup of everything.
Grape backs up a matter file automatically every day on the device you use. One archive restores everything, and version history covers the smaller slips.
One archive with notes, attachments and structure
Made daily on the device you use, not synced between devices
Restore across platforms, so a Mac backup opens on Windows
Backups kept for thirty days and cleared automatically after that
Version history on every note for rolling back a paragraph
Moving to a new machine
Make a backup, install Grape, restore. That is the whole migration.
The paragraph you deleted
Version history brings it back without touching the rest of the note.
Before anything risky
Grape saves a version before the agent edits a note for you.
Made daily without asking
The device you use writes a copy, so there is always one from yesterday.
A backup crosses platforms
One made on a Mac restores onto Windows with no conversion step.
One archive, everything in it
Notes, attachments and structure in a single file you can put anywhere.
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.
