Grape
Local first storage for product managers

Work with no wifi and no worry.

Grape keeps a quarter of notes in a database on your own machine, so in the middle of planning a dead connection changes nothing about what you can open.
Writing, reading, organising, drawing and recording all work offline
You pick where the database file sits
Export any note, or the whole library, as Markdown, HTML or PDF
Run the AI locally through Ollama or LM Studio if you prefer

The plane, the tunnel, the cabin

Writing, search, drawing and recording all work with no connection.

Results

Three things that stop being a problem

Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for product managers.

Get the follow ups out of the meeting

Record, then ask for what you agreed and who owes what, before the next call starts.

Answer why we built it that way

Search by the decision, not the doc title, and get the note that explains it.

Turn ten customer calls into one theme

Ask what came up repeatedly across a folder of interviews and get it summarised.
In practice

What that looks like for product managers

A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.

Discovery

Record every call into one folder and let search do the pattern finding.

Spec writing

Draft in the note where the research lives and link to the decisions it depends on.

Planning

Ask for a summary of everything you captured about an area this quarter.
FAQ

Questions Before You Install It

The rest of them live in the help center.

Leave with the notes written.

Customer calls, specs, decisions and the reason behind them in one searchable library, so the context does not live in your head or in a chat thread.
