Local first storage for teachers
A local first notes app that works offline
Work with no wifi and no worry.
Grape keeps a year of lesson plans in a database on your own machine, so on a Sunday evening a dead connection changes nothing about what you can open.
Writing, reading, organising, drawing and recording all work offline
You pick where the database file sits
Export any note, or the whole library, as Markdown, HTML or PDF
Run the AI locally through Ollama or LM Studio if you prefer
No account to start
Download, open, write. Accounts only matter for the paid plans.
Your choice of AI provider
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Ollama and more.
Export whenever you want
Markdown, HTML or PDF, one note at a time or the whole library.
You pick where the file sits
Point the database at any folder on your machine, and move it later.
The plane, the tunnel, the cabin
Writing, search, drawing and recording all work with no connection.
Local models if you want them
Run the AI through Ollama or LM Studio and nothing leaves the machine.
What changes
Three things off the Sunday list
Not a feature tour. The three jobs that take less of the weekend once your plans can answer back.
The lesson plan from last year is in a folder called Misc.
Find last year in seconds
Search the way you remember the lesson and get the plan back, along with the notes you left about how it went.
Writing the quiz takes longer than teaching the lesson did.
Make the quiz from the lesson you taught
Generate questions and flashcards straight from your own material instead of writing them from a blank page.
The observation stays in your head until report season, when it is gone.
Keep observations without extra admin
Talk into your phone between classes and read the transcript back when you are writing reports.
A normal term
What that looks like for teachers
Three moments in the year where the app earns its keep.
01
Sunday planning
Pull up the unit folder, adjust last year, and note what you are changing and why.
02
During the week
Record two minutes after a lesson while you still remember what fell flat.
03
Report season
Ask your notes what you recorded about a class over a term and write from that.
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.
Questions
Questions Before You Install It
The rest of them live in the help center.
Reuse it every year.
Lesson plans, worksheets, observations and the thing that worked last spring, all in one library you can search by meaning and turn into quiz questions in a minute.
