Local first storage for project managers
A local first notes app that works offline
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.
Deliverables
Three things that stop falling through the gap
Not a feature list. What changes when the meeting, the actions and the risks live in one place.
The actions get written up an hour after the meeting, from memory.
Actions written while people are still talking
Record the meeting and ask for the decisions and owners as soon as it ends.
The status update means reopening every note from the week.
Status updates from your own notes
Ask what moved this week across a project folder and get a summary you can send.
The decision is in the notes, the task in the tracker, the file in email.
Nothing falls through the gap between tools
Checklists, notes, attachments and transcripts all live in the same note.
A sprint
What that looks like for project managers
Three points in a cycle where the app closes a gap.
01
Weekly meeting
Record it, get the transcript, ask for the action list and tick items off in the note.
02
Risk review
Keep a note per risk, linked to the meetings where it moved.
03
Reporting
Ask for a status summary built from this week and export it.
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.
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.
