Backups and version history for writers
Every day ends with a backup of everything.
Grape backs up a notebook you have kept for years automatically every day on the device you use. One archive restores everything, and version history covers the smaller slips.
One archive with notes, attachments and structure
Made daily on the device you use, not synced between devices
Restore across platforms, so a Mac backup opens on Windows
Backups kept for thirty days and cleared automatically after that
Version history on every note for rolling back a paragraph
Moving to a new machine
Make a backup, install Grape, restore. That is the whole migration.
The paragraph you deleted
Version history brings it back without touching the rest of the note.
Before anything risky
Grape saves a version before the agent edits a note for you.
Made daily without asking
The device you use writes a copy, so there is always one from yesterday.
A backup crosses platforms
One made on a Mac restores onto Windows with no conversion step.
One archive, everything in it
Notes, attachments and structure in a single file you can put anywhere.
Results
Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for writers.
Nothing gets lost between notebooks
Every fragment lands in one library, on the laptop and the phone, and search finds it by what it was about.
Talk the scene out when typing is too slow
Record on a walk and read the transcript back as raw material for the next session.
Ask your own archive what you already said
Check whether a thought is new or something you wrote three years ago, without opening twenty files.
In practice
What that looks like for writers
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
First thing in the morning
Open the draft where you left it, with the research notes linked next to it.
Walking around
Record thirty seconds of dialogue on the phone before it evaporates.
Structural edit
Ask for a summary of what each chapter note actually covers and move things around.
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.
