Web clipper for Chrome for researchers
Clip the page. Keep it as a note.
A page worth keeping goes into Grape as a note, with the images and the source line, filed next to a literature review. Ask it questions later the way you would ask anything else you wrote.
1Clip it where you are reading
2It is filed before you switch windows
Article, selection or bookmark, chosen from one panel
Title, folder and tags corrected before you save
Images downloaded into the note, so the clip outlives the page
A keyboard shortcut and a right click menu for clips that never open the panel
Three ways to take a page
The readable article, only the part you highlighted, or just the title and the link.
Filed before it lands
Pick the folder and the tags in the panel, or set a default once and never see it again.
The pictures come too
Grape downloads every image into the note, so it reads offline and after the page is gone.
It says where it came from
Site, author and date on one line under the title, with the original a click away.
Two keys and it is saved
One shortcut clips the page, another clips the selection, with no panel in between.
Nothing passes through a server
The page goes from the browser to the app on your machine, and nowhere else.
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.
