Grape
Web clipper for Chrome for students

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 semester of notes. 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 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.
FAQ

Questions Before You Install It

The rest of them live in the help center.

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.
