Grape
Locked notes for podcasters

Lock a note. Nobody else can read it, not even us.

A locked note is encrypted on your device with a password only you know. It syncs like any other note, but what reaches our servers is a sealed block of text: no AI reads it, no search indexes it, and we could not open it if we were asked to. On every plan.
Encrypted on your laptop or phone before it syncs, with AES-256 and a key stretched from your password
One password for every locked note, typed once and locked again after a few minutes
A recovery key shown once when you set the password, the one other way in
Left out of search, the AI, the index, widgets and exports while it is locked
Its title stays in the list on every device, so you can tell your locked notes apart

Sealed before it leaves

The note is encrypted on your device. The password never leaves it, and the server holds only a block it cannot read.

A recovery key, once

Grape cannot reset a locked notes password, because it never has it. The recovery key you saved is the one other way in.

One password, every locked note

Type it once and every locked note opens until Grape locks them again: after a few minutes, in the background, or when you say so.

The AI never sees it

A locked note is left out of chat, semantic search, the index and any AI app connected to your account.

Syncs sealed

It travels between your devices encrypted, and opens on the phone with the same password you set on the laptop.

Text notes, for now

Headings, lists, tables, code and links lock. A note with an image or a recording asks you to take it out first.

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.
