Drawing canvas for students
Draw on an infinite canvas inside your notes
Draw the part words cannot carry.
Some of a semester of notes is not sentences. Put a tricky topic on an infinite canvas inside the note, right next to the writing that explains it.
Freehand drawing, shapes, arrows and boxes
The canvas sits in the note as a block, with text above and below it
Follows dark mode, so a canvas drawn at night still reads in the morning
Drawings sync with everything else on a Pro plan
Diagrams without a second app
Boxes and arrows are two clicks away instead of a context switch.
Sketch, then explain underneath
The caption you write is what makes the drawing findable later.
Draw with a pencil in hand
Rough it out on the phone, tidy it up at the desk.
A block, not a separate file
Text above, drawing in the middle, more text underneath.
Legible at night as well
The canvas follows dark mode, so a late sketch still reads in the morning.
Drawings travel too
The sketch is on the other device with everything else on a Pro plan.
the short version
Three things that stop being a nightmare
Nobody reads a feature list two days before an exam. This is what actually changes.
You type through the lecture and remember none of it.
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.
The flashcards online are for a different syllabus.
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.
It is 11pm and the slide is in one of forty files.
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.
a normal week
What that looks like for students
Three moments in a term where this pays for itself in time.
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.
Revise from your own notes.
Hit record when the lecturer starts, get the transcript in the note, and turn the whole week into flashcards the night before the exam. No workspace to build first.
