What is Grab a Tree anyway

Grab a Tree is an online web application that allows you to organize information into tree structures. It is particularly useful to categorize, prioritize and track tasks or other information.

Grab a tree is an easy way to take notes and organize them on the fly. It is great for developing an outline for a paper or speech or just getting your thoughts together concerning a complex task or project.

Where is my data stored?

Currently, the demo version stores your tree data locally in the browser's local storage.

The good part about this is that it is never sent to a server so your data is completely private.

The drawback is that if you create a tree in Firefox, it won't be available in Chrome. However, you can export it to a .gat document that can be shared like a word doc.
