Why Google Keep is so GREAT! (Deep Dive)

[@Jack908r]

I use it constantly. Its simple, yet with just enough options to make it functional without any un necessary bloat.

[@echo4910]

Can't even add a table there. 😂

[@amira.ismail8004]

​@@echo4910 exactly, I wish it was like Samsung notes if not better 😢

[@flyingaviator8158]

And does not has the most simple function: Searching something an getting it marked within one note. Only works on the pc using the browser.... GREAT my white a.ss

[@mantoniogz]

Glad to see another Keep user out there! I have been using it since its launch.

[@4jup4ter4]

Same

[@Ram-4798]

Me too

[@hydronicrocker]

Out of curiousity, do you label things, or just add notes and later search by what you need? And what sorts of content do you add in there?

[@ankit.says59]

Pin feature is already there. Hide is also available

[@xxtatinoxx]

Google Keep has been amazing, the only thing that I would like to have is the option to lock individual notes

[@alexneil1078]

Facts I've been saying that for years.

[@Pixlewatchtoo]

I hope it gets more features like that

[@ifrankenstein7455]

​@@alexneil1078 Ive also wanted this feature

[@romatawazu8038]

The reason I switched to one note....

[@DrNikkhil]

Individual notes and the app for that matter...needs biometric lock

[@kanthvinay]

I have some levels of ADHD and always struggle from completing tasks. After using several apps, I ended up with Google Keep. I make a separate note for each day the night before, and pin that note as a widget on to my phone screen. This note contains a set of tasks for the morning, afternoon and evening, sometimes location based. Every time I unlock my phone, I will be welcomed with the Huge google keep widget.

[@addinaam]

it’s amazing. sync it and it can be access anywhere in any device. simple and easy to use

[@winconfig]

I've been Keep'n for about seven-ish years now! Love the program. At first, I hardly used it and borderline forgot about it. The past few years, I've used it much more and continue to think of more ways for me to use the program!

[@gilleojax]

I've been using Samsung phones for many years now but Google Keep is my go-to note taking app. Glad to see there's a bunch of us out there using this as our main note app.

[@podgornik]

Thanks for pointing out the Google Keep Chrome extension.

[@Williamnkhono]

I love using Google keep. I just wish the sort function was based on modified dates so that I can have my most recently opened/modified notes at the top.

[@ccroy2001]

Keep works so well for me. Especially the label feature. I have a bunch of different labels; Personal, Work, Tech, Bicycle, Medical, Home (Repair). I like that I just have simple notes with images for things I do as a technician (wiring and so on).

[@SamuelIrias]

have tried many other note taking apps because of the ability to put notes in folders and even have secure folders... but the amazing syncing between devices and cross platform and how snappy it is to load and find things keeps me coming back

[@jkmorbo]

Keep has been my main note taking app since it launched. There's really nothing like it, especially since a lot of apps require subs or payment and are overly complicated.

[@mauriciomunoz87]

I'm an Apple Notes user, but I will often use Keep for very quick "sticky" notes. Just like Apple notes, the simplicity is underrated and is not bloated with other nonsense. Keep up the great videos!

[@justinadams6167]

Another great deep dive video! I have used Keep for years and I love it!

[@tomcolclough2023]

Thanks! I have never used it or even known what it was for. Looks useful and I am going to give it a try now.

[@jeffhemming5689]

Thank you! Just started using and great to learn there is so much more ✌️

[@endostatic7687]

I used it to write my diary and it was nice and easy to organize and even quicky export to Google docs as 1 pdf. I just hope it has the option to put them in chronological order cuz so far when you copy to docs the ordering goes in reverse where the recent days are first. Overall a good feature tho.

[@mabruradib9741]

Well, I most of the time use keep to make a shopping check list. Besides, I use the notification based reminder very frequently. I note down important event like going to buy books after few days, or having a picnic or program after a week, and set continuous reminder before the event to get myself fully prepared before the event. Also, keep small important notes related to study, which I can find right away by searching the note.

[@7mana]

i love it, thanks for letting me know about the chrome extension

[@GetRightFitness]

The only 3 changes I'd make to this App to make it totally amazing would be to add the ability to create sublabels, link a note to a calendar event/ have a note show up as a calendar event, and allow for the ability to have different text structures in one note where I want them. For example, a checkbox section, then a photo with text under it, then checkboxes again. 👇

[@Boyinthecircle]

Yep, these 3 would be super useful

[@LuKaa316]

You CAN link a note to your google calendar but it can't be use as an event. That is when you use the Google Calendar.

[@GetRightFitness]

​@LuKaa316 I can't get a keep note to attach to a calendar event. I can attach a Drive file, but not a keep note. How do you do it?

[@LuKaa316]

@@GetRightFitness You open the calendar event and then open the Keep in the side panel and take a note. It will be linked automatically.

[@LuKaa316]

@@GetRightFitness Also, this is how I create sub-labels in Keep. I add an emoji like 📂 for all my MAIN labels (ie 📂 Notes, 💭 Thoughts, etc). Adding emojis or numbers will make them appear in the upper part (use numbers instead if you want to arrange them) and then for sub-labels I just use small caps. They will appear below the main labels. Hope this helps!

[@labibrashidinan9868]

For 95% of people, Google keep will be the best notes and productivity app they use even if it's not the only one they need

[@henryijeoma]

great app, but i hate that the delete note button is hidden under the 3 dots on the top right. So stupid. just put it right there next to Pin button on the screen when you touch and hold a Note. Also we need the feature where you can lock notes with a pin or fingerprint

[@creole75]

I use it without issue and it does what's intended but I do wish there were more font options.

[@CRAZYSTORIES95]

I wish google can add the lock feature it will be really helpful

[@herjunowijayanto.]

Saya masih memakai Google Keep sampai dengan saat ini. Bahkan, coretan tangan keponakan saya 8 tahun yang lalu masih tersimpan dengan baik, walaupun saya sudah beberapa kali berganti smartphone. Terima kasih Google Keep!

[@jakelloyd3512]

I use it every night when I'm laying in bed to update my list of things to be done then follow day or whenever I can get to them.

[@Manuel-rl6um]

Wondering why you prefer Keep over Tasks for this specific use case?

[@jakelloyd3512]

@@Manuel-rl6um honestly never tried tasks. Installing now. Notes are always just super easy and casual it seems.

[@SurendraKDharmadhikari]

Keep Notes is my only note making application. It's simple, intuitive, and functional over aesthetics. I have numerous labels colour coded to find them easily with some notes with colourful backgrounds. Sometimes it is jittery when scrolling and swiping from the left to open the labels menu. But all things aside it is easy and syncs up fast even on mobile data.

Google Tasks available in Keep later this year?

[@PygmyO]

I've been using it for a month on my Samsung, and it's so much simpler to use. Looks really neat and fast. Just wish there were folders

[@Riz_]

Have started using Google Keep more over the past couple of months or so. It's not bad actually. I like it's simplicity and the ability to collaborate so easily. I wish it worked a little better with Talkback on longer notes because if you are reading through a long note every time you return to it you are pushed back to the top again. I also wish we could have nesting notes or some kind of folder structure. The labels feature is not adequate enough for me.

[@uurk5lo4]

You're right about labels, they're inadequate. It badly needs a folder structure. Labels limit of 50 is super inadequate!

[@ifrankenstein7455]

I personally use docs for note taking because it has more features

[@Andystarksky]

It is a quite useful application, but it would be great if it allowed you to change the shape of the notes to ones similar to those that appear on Android 14.📝

[@badbeatking80]

New to Pixel and decided to go with Keep. One feature would be helpful would be ability to scroll within a note. I have to constantly slide up or down to scroll especially longer notes can be annoying.

[@AK47-4K]

Google Keep is definitely the best. It may not have many options, but regardless, I use it the most out of all note taking apps (OneNote for stylus and Samsung Notes for PDF editing).

[@ryanizanami4866]

No other note taking app feels so secure and easy to access with a network connection than Keep itself. It's faster, simpler and reliable.

[@hayyanalmemsani805]

For me the problem with it is that #1 the app doesn't remember where i left a particular note, so let's say i have a note that's a very long list, in samsung notes when i leave the note and re-enter it later the app takes me to where i left off in the list and i don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom from the top again, that's not the case with keep, every time i open the note it takes me back to the top. #2 the notes appear too big in the main menu The only thing that keeps me from switching to samsung notes is that keep syncs my notes to my google account which is important for me

[@rayquazahjier8668]

My second most used app/service from Google (Gmail app/service being the most used one) Plus Keep made my life so much easier through the years, no matter my device I always had full access to it, no stupid eco system exclusive apps (looking at you Apple and Samsung) or subscriptions. Which makes me fear Google is going to kill it at some point, or change it so much it becomes bad and that in the end will kill it. Knock on wood they just leave it, it's such a great and complete product already.

[@fayyazb]

Simply LOVE Google Keep! They way I am able to organise within it is so simple and effective. It had some issues few months ago where it kept logging me out or dtop me from adding new notes. It's fine now and I hope they KEEP this going unlike few other Google Apps. Also upgrade it a bit with few user suggested features.

[@sapthasagar7840]

Keep is best at what it does, I wish there is a centralised app that could store documents, sheets, but as of now I just love how every app like docs sheets etc are web based apps.

[@TobyChidolueT]

What is that stylus you're using??

[@POTENTDOMAIN]

I just started using it just to voice type quick ideas that popped into mine haven't really fully immersed into the app. Can anybody expand any possibilities with this app

[@CRAZYSTORIES95]

I love the fac that you can still acess all your notes 📝 even if you lost or change ur phone 📱

[@NeophyteCounsel]

It needs to become what Apple notes is. Right now it's not a one stop shop for all things document. Integrating Lens in keep for OCR, creating PDF, hyoerlinking notes, perhaps also mindmap templates and Google recorder for voice to text lectures, meetings etc. will help a great deal.

[@JeremyZimmerman]

The integration with Google home is also really good for shopping lists if you want to share them with someone else.

[@howardgoldberg2363]

I agree with all that you have said. I have also used Keep for 11 years since its inception. I have a ton of notes saved web pages, and KZbin videos. I have so much that I can't get to them. Unlike Google Photos, one can not search or filter by Creation Date or Modified Date or filter a given month from past years. It takes forever to Page down or Cursor down in the Reverse Chronological Keep on a desktop(because you have to wait while the screen is redrawn -even on fast computers and fast internet speeds). Google could easily make date searches available like they have always done in Google Photos. While these dates exist for each note, Google hides access to them. I never understood why Google has refused to make these basic DATE features available. Until Google allows these basic date features, most of my Google Keep Notes are unavailable. Howard

I kid you not, this Gemini, google assistant and incredibly useless bixby (I used to have a Samsung) pushed me to Apple. I love android and I’m pretty sure I’ll be back in a few years but it was just so confusing and frustrating. The problem is that I’m getting far too cosy in their ecosystem 😅

The issue is whether Google Keep has a real future. Google recently stated that they will transfer reminders to Google Tasks, without necessarily being clear about the roadmap for Google Keep.

I use keep for notes and reminders, but I use tick tick for my tasks and habit tracking. I have been toying with amplenote recently which has a full GTD brain dump system in it, but the other two have easier input with tick tick working from your notifications and keep working with assistant.

[@RamblingPodcastTalks]

I use Keep, but the things that bother me are that it keeps all the pictures in the notes on top, not in between notes, which is annoying when I make workflows in the tech industry. Also, I can't import small videos, both things Apple Notes can do, by the way.

I’ve mostly transitioned off of Keep Notes, still use it for quick notes, but am mostly using Standard Notes, which is cheap, has some more features than KN, and more private than KN. Otherwise KN is great, way better than M$ OneNote, which is way too complicated and bloated. However, I use all 3 products for everyday use for personal and work.

[@mikldude9376]

I’m afraid I don’t share the glowing joy of using Google keep , I tried to like it and use it on and off for a couple of years on different devices mostly for a shopping lists , but some things just drove me mad about it . For a start as someone with big hands and fingers I always found the hit boxes too tiny and I couldn’t find anyway of separating apart or making them bigger. If I wanted to highlight a single line in the shopping list with a different color, I could not find a way to do it. Rearranging the order of items on a shopping list , I couldn’t find an easy way to do it without rooting around . In the end I went back to apple notes which is not perfect either , but I find it easier to use.

[@soymadip]
