Web clipper for Chrome for writers
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 notebook you have kept for years. 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 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.
