Apps for podcasters
Note taking apps for desktop and mobile
A real app on the desk and in your pocket.
Most podcasters capture on a phone and think on a laptop. Grape is a real app on both, with the same library in each and episodes and guest prep 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.

Three things that stop eating the edit day
Skip the feature list. This is what changes between the recording stopping and the episode going out.
01
An hour of audio, and the show notes still have to be written by hand.
Turn an episode into text you can use
Drop the audio into a note, get a transcript, then ask for the summary and the timestamps worth clipping.
02
Guest research is in tabs, DMs and a doc you cannot find.
Show up to the interview prepared
Keep guest research in one note and ask for the five questions your notes suggest.
03
You know episode forty covered it and you would have to scrub to find where.
Remember what episode forty said
Search the whole back catalogue by topic instead of scrubbing through audio.

What that looks like for podcasters
Three points between recording and publishing where the app pulls its weight.
01
Before recording
Collect the guest research, links and questions in one note you can read from.
02
Straight after
Drop the audio in, get a transcript, and mark the parts that will make clips.
03
Publishing day
Ask for show notes built from the transcript and export them.
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.

Questions Before You Install It
The rest of them live in the help center.
Get show notes out of it.
Guest research, running orders, recordings and transcripts in one library, so an episode becomes show notes, clips and the prep for next week without starting from nothing.
