Grape
Local first storage for project managers

Work with no wifi and no worry.

Grape keeps a project file in a database on your own machine, so an hour before a steering meeting 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.
Results

Three things that stop being a problem

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

Actions written while people are still talking

Record the meeting and ask for the decisions and owners as soon as it ends.

Status updates from your own notes

Ask what moved this week across a project folder and get a summary you can send.

Nothing falls through the gap between tools

Checklists, notes, attachments and transcripts all live in the same note.
In practice

What that looks like for project managers

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

Weekly meeting

Record it, get the transcript, ask for the action list and tick items off in the note.

Risk review

Keep a note per risk, linked to the meetings where it moved.

Reporting

Ask for a status summary built from this week and export it.
FAQ

Questions Before You Install It

The rest of them live in the help center.

Do not also transcribe it.

Record the standup, get the actions out of the transcript, and keep every risk, decision and follow up in a library you can search by meaning.
