Brainrot videos for researchers
The note, as a video you cannot skip.
Turn a note about an argument into a short narrated video, captions burning over a gameplay clip. The version of a literature review that gets watched to the end, because it looks like everything else on the feed.
A script written from your note, never from a template
Six voices, forty gameplay clips and twenty one caption styles
The finished video lives in the note, ready to replay
Rendered on Grape servers, so your device does none of the work
The format that gets watched
Vertical video, a voice narrating, captions landing on the beat.
Pick the voice and the world
Six voices over forty clips, so two notes never make the same video.
Captions with a look
Twenty one caption styles, from TikTok classic to neon to retro VHS.
The script is your note
Written from what you wrote, so the video teaches your material.
Under a minute
Long enough to cover a topic, short enough to actually watch twice.
Saved in the note it came from
The finished video sits with the writing, ready to replay or send on.
Results
Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for researchers.
Stop rereading papers you already annotated
Ask what your notes say about a method and get the answer with the note it came from, ready to cite.
Turn interviews into text the same day
Record the session, get a transcript in the note, and code it while it is still fresh.
See how the threads connect
Link notes to each other and use the graph view to spot the argument forming across a year of reading.
In practice
What that looks like for researchers
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
Reading a new paper
Drop the PDF into a note, write alongside it, and tag it into the theme it belongs to.
Fieldwork day
Record on the phone, add photos, and let it all sync back to the desk copy.
Writing up
Ask for every note that touches a concept, then pull the quotes into the draft.
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.
