Local first storage for product managers
A local first notes app that works offline
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
No account to start
Download, open, write. Accounts only matter for the paid plans.
Your choice of AI provider
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Ollama and more.
Export whenever you want
Markdown, HTML or PDF, one note at a time or the whole library.
You pick where the file sits
Point the database at any folder on your machine, and move it later.
The plane, the tunnel, the cabin
Writing, search, drawing and recording all work with no connection.
Local models if you want them
Run the AI through Ollama or LM Studio and nothing leaves the machine.
Outcomes
Three things that stop living in your head
Not a feature list. What changes when six meetings a day land somewhere that can answer back.
The follow ups are in your head until the next call pushes them out.
Get the follow ups out of the meeting
Record, then ask for what you agreed and who owes what, before the next call starts.
Someone asks why it was built that way and the doc is called Untitled.
Answer why we built it that way
Search by the decision, not the doc title, and get the note that explains it.
Ten customer calls, ten transcripts, and no time to read them.
Turn ten customer calls into one theme
Ask what came up repeatedly across a folder of interviews and get it summarised.
A quarter
What that looks like for product managers
Three points in a planning cycle where the app changes the work.
01
Discovery
Record every call into one folder and let search do the pattern finding.
02
Spec writing
Draft in the note where the research lives and link to the decisions it depends on.
03
Planning
Ask for a summary of everything you captured about an area this quarter.
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.
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.
