Locked notes for teachers
Lock a note. Nobody else can read it, not even us.
A locked note is encrypted on your device with a password only you know. It syncs like any other note, but what reaches our servers is a sealed block of text: no AI reads it, no search indexes it, and we could not open it if we were asked to. On every plan.
Encrypted on your laptop or phone before it syncs, with AES-256 and a key stretched from your password
One password for every locked note, typed once and locked again after a few minutes
A recovery key shown once when you set the password, the one other way in
Left out of search, the AI, the index, widgets and exports while it is locked
Its title stays in the list on every device, so you can tell your locked notes apart
Sealed before it leaves
The note is encrypted on your device. The password never leaves it, and the server holds only a block it cannot read.
A recovery key, once
Grape cannot reset a locked notes password, because it never has it. The recovery key you saved is the one other way in.
One password, every locked note
Type it once and every locked note opens until Grape locks them again: after a few minutes, in the background, or when you say so.
The AI never sees it
A locked note is left out of chat, semantic search, the index and any AI app connected to your account.
Syncs sealed
It travels between your devices encrypted, and opens on the phone with the same password you set on the laptop.
Text notes, for now
Headings, lists, tables, code and links lock. A note with an image or a recording asks you to take it out first.
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
