iPad · Apple Pencil · your Claude via MCP

The notebook your Claude can read.

You write by hand to think. Your own Claude reads the page and files what comes next into your tools. No chatbot in the app, and your ink is never touched.

Your Claude, not ours

It reads. It acts. It never touches your ink.

Grip opens your notebook to the Claude you already pay for, over MCP. Wherever you use it: next to your notebook, in your terminal, on your phone.

What it places on the page

Objects, never text pasted into a chat.

Claude answers by placing an object next to your ink. You check it, move it, fold it with a finger.

Who it's for

Writing by hand makes you think. Claude does the rest.

Your hand remembers what it writes, and a notebook doesn't distract. What was missing was someone to read it back. Five ways to use it.

The notebook, first

Everything a Pencil notebook should do. And a bit more.

Grip stands on its own. Your Claude is a reason to stay, not a condition to start.

Time, nested

A page for every day, week, month, quarter, year. You write today, the rest files itself.

Your handwriting, searchable

Type a word, Grip finds the handwritten line and circles it with a halo.

Two iPads, one ink

Write on one, read on the other seconds later.
