Shared folders and notes for product managers
Share notes and folders and write in them together
Share a folder. Write in it together.
Invite people to a folder or a note and work in it from your own Grape. Sharing comes with Sync and Pro, and on Pro you see each other type, with a named cursor for each person.
Share a folder with its subfolders and notes, or a single note on its own
Can edit for the people you work with, Can view for the ones who only read
Edits merge, so two people in the same paragraph never overwrite each other
On Pro, everyone in the note types live, each with a cursor that carries their name
On Sync, edits arrive with sync a couple of seconds later and merge the same way
You and everyone you invite need Sync or Pro, and a locked note is never shared
Invite by email
Type an address, choose Can edit or Can view and send. They join from the email or from the app.
See each other type
On Pro, everyone in the note writes live, with a cursor in their own colour that carries their name.
Can edit or Can view
Editing for the people you work with, reading only for the ones who just need to keep up.
On Sync, edits merge
Changes arrive a couple of seconds after they are made, and both sides are kept rather than overwritten.
See who changed what
Version history lists every edit under the name of whoever made it, with what they added and deleted.
Your undo stays yours
In a live note, undo takes back what you typed and never the line someone else just wrote.
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.
