The full story

The author reverse engineered Apple Notes' storage with Claude Code and built a tool that exports everything (folders, notes, formatting, images and voice recordings). A real-time video shows it exporting 2,000 notes with attachments in about two seconds. It's available free for Mac and Windows as Grape.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
