Day 219 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
I'm working on a very cool feature: collaboration.
You're going to be able to share a note or folder with your family, friends, or your team. You can edit it together in real time with live cursors.
#buildinpublic Got the third subscriber and the MRR is $57 now.
I'm still spending most of my time building Grape and adding new features every day. But I want to get closer to a 50/50 split between product and marketing.
For now it's going slow but steady.
#buildinpublic Day 218 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added animated previews to grape.cool
Every feature page now has an animated preview of desktop and mobile apps with mouse and taps. So visitors can get a sense of how each feature works before trying Grape.
#buildinpublic Day 217 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
I'm working on notifications.
You're going to be able to close Grape while AI is working and get notified when it's done. It could be anything like voice transcription, AI chat responses, image generation or anything else.
#buildinpublic #ios I made a 60-second video for Grape with Opus 5.5 and I really like how it turned out
The part at 0:44 where it syncs the theme switching with music is truly amazing
#buildinpublic Day 216 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added a feature I somehow missed before.
AI chat can now read PDFs inside your notes so you can ask questions about them directly.
#buildinpublic Introducing the Grape MCP server.
Open ChatGPT or Claude and your notes are already there. Ask what's in them or have the AI save a new note straight into your folders.
#buildinpublic Day 215 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Submitted Grape's MCP server to ChatGPT Plugins directory for review.
You can already connect it manually but approval would make adding Grape to your ChatGPT easier.
#buildinpublic Day 214 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
I'm working on a remote MCP server for Grape.
You'll be able to connect Grape to ChatGPT, Claude or any other AI and create, read, update, delete your notes and folders just by talking to it.
#buildinpublic Day 213 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
I'm working on end to end encrypted notes.
When you lock a note it becomes end to end encrypted so the contents of the note are protected even when it's synced to the cloud.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 212 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added AI image generation to AI chat.
Now you can ask something like "create a taco recipe and an image of it" and Grape will add both the recipe and the generated image to your note.
#buildinpublic Day 211 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
I'm working on a new Merge Notes feature.
Instead of copying and pasting, you can select multiple notes and merge them into a new note with one click.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 210 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added a new $4.99/mo plan for people who want just cloud sync for their notes.
A lot of people told me $19/mo for Pro was too expensive when they only wanted the note-taking features with no AI.
#buildinpublic Day 209 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added speaker identification to voice transcription on mobile and desktop.
Grape can now identify up to 6 speakers and you can name them so you see their actual names.
#buildinpublic Day 208 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added more than 20 new themes to Grape.
There are light and dark themes and you can sync the theme between your devices.
#buildinpublic #ios #macos Day 207 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added lots of widgets today.
I didn't know this but widgets are basically little apps. I can now see the created flashcards or my grocery list from the home menu and interact with them.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 206 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added another widget and a document scanning feature.
You can now scan documents directly from the widget and Grape will turn them into a new note automatically.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 205 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Started working on widgets today.
I really love widgets so there are going to be a lot of them but now starting with Recent Notes widget. You're going to be able to see your recently updated notes from your menu.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 204 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
I'm bringing AI slide decks to the mobile app.
You can create and edit slides on your phone then present them in full screen. You can even rotate your phone to have a better view.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 203 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
I'm working on AI slide deck feature.
You can generate slides by choosing different templates. You can edit, reorder, delete the slides while AI is generating images. Then present them in fullscreen.
#buildinpublic #mac Day 202 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Brought handwritten notes to the desktop app today.
Also added multi-pane support so you can open multiple notes side by side.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 201 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added handwriting recognition today.
Your handwritten notes are recognized using built-in OCR, making them searchable and indexable just like regular text notes.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 200 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Started working on a feature that a lot of students have been asking for and it's handwriting.
This is going to be a huge update so I'll be spending this weekend working on it.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 199 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added a new feature to the iOS Share Extension.
You can now choose a specific note and append or prepend anything you share to it.
It's perfect for saving things you find online directly to your daily notes.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 198 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Working on a memory layer for the AI.
When you talk about things in your life, it will create a memory. Then it will remember things in the new chats so you don't have to repeat yourself again and again.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 197 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
The iOS Share Extension now work across all apps.
You can share text, links, and images from any app. You can also save X posts and articles with their content directly to Grape.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 196 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added quick capture to the desktop app today.
You can press a keyboard shortcut from anywhere to open a small popup and quickly capture a note without opening the app.
#buildinpublic #macbook I just got 100 on every PageSpeed category for Grape's website
Huge thanks to Next.js 16.3
#buildinpublic Introducing Grape Notes
Apple just approved the iPhone app and now we're live
Link below
#buildinpublic A little update from Grape
Grape has now been installed more than 500 times
It also has 3 active subscribers and 9 lifetime customers
It's still early but people are actually using it so I'm thinking bunch of new ideas every day
#buildinpublic Grape Web Clipper is live on Chrome Web Store
Get the extension link below
#buildinpublic Day 195 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
After web clipper, another user asked for an iOS share extension so I'm working on that now.
You'll be able to share any article or page from Safari or any other app directly to Grape.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 194 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Finished the web clipper and submitted it Google to review.
Also I asked Claude to generate store previews and it created these completely. A Chrome window with the Grape website open and the web clipper on top. This is awesome.
#buildinpublic Introducing NoteTakingApps.com
I built this directory to compare note taking apps, filter by features, and see detailed info for all the major ones
If you're looking for a new notes app then you might find it useful
#buildinpublic Day 193 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Someone asked for a web clipping feature and I started working on it today.
Still a work in progress but it will extract page content and save it directly to the Grape desktop app.
Free users will be able to use it too.
#buildinpublic #macos Day 192 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Working on a usage feature similar to Claude Code.
If someone tries to abuse the AI in the future this will hopefully prevent that.
#buildinpublic #macos Day 191 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Brought AI generated infographics to mobile today.
I think they're a great way to learn things. I've actually started making infographics for myself whenever I want to learn something.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 190 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Working on a new feature that turns your notes into infographics.
Still a work in progress but I think this could be really useful for visual learners.
#buildinpublic #macos Day 189 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Brainrot is now available in the desktop app too.
I just finished the book of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant and made a brainrot video about my notes of the book.
This is my new way of learning things. It's so much fun.
#buildinpublic #macos Day 188 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Built the most fun feature ever. Brainrot video generator.
Pick a Minecraft background, caption style and voice. Grape turns your notes into a narrated video with captions.
Now I can target Gen Z 😅
#buildinpublic #ios Day 187 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added a bunch of things to the drawing feature. I think students are going to love this.
New pens, highlighter, shapes, colors, settings, and image support. You can do a lot more with drawing now.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 186 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Starting today I'm trying a new routine. One blog post, one Reddit reply, and one TikTok video every day.
Made the first TikTok today. Also had a $29 Lifetime sale.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 185 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
I decided to focus on marketing instead of adding more features because it doesn't get you anywhere.
I've started writing blog posts for SEO and spending more time on Reddit because I think that's where the real customers are.
#buildinpublic Day 184 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Finished the new landing page today.
Added new desktop and mobile app previews, new help pages, and solution pages for different use cases like students, teachers, writers, and more.
#buildinpublic I just realized there are more than 200 people on Grape's waitlist
Join if you'd like to know when the iPhone app is released
#buildinpublic Day 183 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Started rebuilding the landing page from scratch today.
While Apple is reviewing the iPhone app, I'm going to add mobile screenshots to the website.
#buildinpublic Day 182 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Made the final updates for the mobile app and submitted for App Store review. Wish me luck.
Also submitted the Android app for Play Store review and got approved immediately. I guess it's because I was doing the Open Testing.
#buildinpublic #ios Day 181 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added an option to keep or delete your notes when logging out.
Also I was going to submit the app for App Store review today but I found out I need to prepare screenshots for iPad too. More App Store chores tomorrow :)
#buildinpublic #ios Day 180 of building Grape, an AI note taking app
Added AI response reporting.
If the AI gives a bad answer, you can report it in the chat. It'll help me to improve the AI agent.
#buildinpublic #ios
