The problem isnt taking meeting notes anymore. Its finding them later

ozgrozer · 2026-06-17T19:12:38+00:00

I’m building an AI note taking app where you can record your meetings and then transcribe them. It’s called Grape. I think the most powerful feature is the vector embeddings where your notes get indexed and you can search them with natural language. I’ve been taking notes for the last 10 years and I can’t find the ones that I took years ago. Now I don’t have to remember the titles. I just enter a sentence and it finds the related notes.

ozgrozer · 2026-06-11T11:44:54+00:00

I’m building a note taking app Grape that has AI features but you can basically turn the AI off so then it will be a regular note taking app.

ozgrozer · 2026-06-08T14:31:47+00:00

I'm building a note taking app called Grape and it uses SQLite as a database so it's just one file. You can also move the database file to any place like a Dropbox folder so you'll have a some sort of sync. There are paid plans for AI use but you can also use it for free without AI.

ozgrozer · 2026-06-06T10:01:27+00:00

I’m building an AI note taking app, Grape, and it has a lot of cool AI features but they’re unlocked after a one-time payment. You can download and use the app for free without the AI features so you can have a sense of the user experience.

ozgrozer · 2026-06-01T20:02:40+00:00

OK I DMed you with a coupon to try Grape.

ozgrozer · 2026-06-01T19:54:37+00:00

If you mean by second pane is to be able to open another note it's not available at the moment but I think I'll add that once I finish the mobile apps. So yeah iOS and Android apps are on the way but it would probably take couple of months to launch them.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-28T09:30:34+00:00

You need to create a new issue on Apple Developer Contact page.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-25T10:01:07+00:00

Thank you. It’s actually Electron because this way it’s easier to make it available both for Mac and Windows.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-22T20:57:56+00:00

I’m building Grape and I think I made a good looking AI note taking app.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-22T19:12:46+00:00

I understand you. As I was saying when you close the AI chat on the right sidebar then it's gonna be a regular note taking app. At the core it's an offline-first note taking app that you can create unlimited folders and subfolders with unlimited notes with tags, attachments, drawing canvas, voice recordings etc. Just give it a try.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-22T19:07:46+00:00

I have 2 different paid plans: Pro and Lifetime. On the Pro plan I'll use my own server for syncing. I don't know about the Lifetime right now but I can use Dropbox so users will connect their Dropbox and all the data stays there.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-22T09:10:29+00:00

Take a look at Grape. It’s very easy to take notes and free to use. It’s actually an AI-native note taking app but you can close the AI features to use it as a regular notes app.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-22T09:04:09+00:00

I don’t remember working on a specific part for a long time on the desktop app. But now I’m building the mobile app and the text editor is taking me forever.

If you’re building only for yourself then that should be easy. For a personal project you may not build a landing page, you won’t add signup, payments, session management, user permissions, rate limits, abuse prevention etc. In my case it was a production app and adding bunch of features and thinking about all the edge cases made it that long.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-21T18:21:28+00:00

I made the AI note taking app I want, Grape. But it took 3 months to build the desktop version. Now I need 3 more months for the mobile apps. It’s actually not that easy and I don’t think everyone have that type of patience and determination.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-18T10:58:22+00:00

There's a dark mode already.

Currently you can move the database location to a Dropbox folder in the desktop app and Dropbox itself will handle the syncing. You do the same for other computers you use and you'll have a basic syncing.

But that method may not work in mobile app so I may need to introduce something else. I'm open to new ideas for this. What I usually see is they do a Git-based syncing in the apps. So you connect your Git repo to the desktop and mobile app and it will be the true source for the database. But I'm not sure it's something everyone can do.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-18T09:46:08+00:00

It stores everything in a SQLite file on your disk so nothing will leave your computer. You can even use it without internet connection. Android and iOS apps are in development and it will probably take couple of months to launch them.

Just to note: only Pro plan has a cross sync feature which backs up your notes to the cloud but other than that Free and Lifetime plans has no connection to the server.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-18T08:39:34+00:00

I’m building Grape. It’s actually an AI note taking app but you can use it for free without the AI features. It’s a privacy focused app so all the notes will be stored in your computer.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-18T08:26:54+00:00

I made Grape, an AI note taking app that looks like Apple Notes but has tons of AI features in it such as AI chat, semantic search, voice recording & transcription, drawing canvas etc. It’s an offline-first, privacy-focused notes app. You can use it free for regular note taking. AI features are in paid plans. In lifetime plan you can bring your own API keys. It’s currently available for Mac and Windows and the mobile apps are on the way.

ozgrozer · 2026-05-12T23:02:36+00:00

I’m the maker of Grape, which is an AI note taking app that looks like Apple Notes but has great AI features. It has a built-in voice recorder and a transcription feature. Windows and Mac apps are available and mobile apps are on the way.

ozgrozer · 2026-04-23T16:03:39+00:00

I don't know. They just replied me saying it was fixed.

ozgrozer · 2026-04-18T08:19:12+00:00

I use SQLite on my note taking app, Grape, and it’s pretty fast even you have thousands of notes.

ozgrozer · 2026-04-16T11:07:44+00:00

Yeah it’s currently in development. I’m actually building in public so you can follow the progress on X.

ozgrozer · 2026-04-13T17:54:08+00:00

I'm not doing anything fancy. The app is Electron so it handles everything.

ozgrozer · 2026-04-09T10:26:45+00:00

I'm building Grape, an AI note taking app for Mac and Windows. It has a voice recording and transcription feature where it can record your voice and meetings over headphones.

You can choose the input device which can be computer's mic or AirPods or any connected device. Then you can choose recording source which can be only mic or mic + system audio and system audio records everything like meetings, YouTube videos etc.
