Apps for students
A real app on the desk and in your pocket.
Most students capture on a phone and think on a laptop. Grape is a real app on both, with the same library in each and lectures and seminars landing wherever you are.
Full workspace on desktop: sidebar, editor, chat, canvas and search
Ten second capture on mobile: open, talk or type, done
Keyboard shortcuts on desktop for everything you do often
The same library on every device once sync is on
Desktop for the long work
Writing up, cleaning up and asking bigger questions of everything.
Mobile for the moment it happens
Recording, chat and search are one tap from the note list.
Local on both
Each device keeps its own copy, so a dead connection changes nothing.
Ten second capture on mobile
Open the app, talk or type, and it is already saved when you look up.
Shortcuts for what you repeat
The desktop app has a key for everything you do twice a day.
One library on both
Turn sync on and the desk and the pocket hold the same notes.
Results
Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for students.
Listen in the lecture instead of typing through it
Record, add three keywords, and read the full transcript later with the slides attached to the same note.
Revise from the course, not from a stranger on the internet
Flashcards and quizzes are generated from your notes, so you are drilling the version your professor actually taught.
Find the one slide you need at 11pm
Search by what you half remember. The right note comes up even when your file names are a mess.
In practice
What that looks like for students
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
Lecture at nine
Open the phone, record, and let the transcript file itself into the course folder.
Reading week
Drop the PDFs in, write next to them, and link readings to the lecture they belong with.
Two days before the exam
Ask for a summary of the unit, then quiz yourself on the parts you keep getting wrong.
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.
