Google’s excellent and neglected note-taking app is getting some much-needed formatting options and overall love. Here’s hoping it’s not the last time.
I'm pretty certain they wanted to migrate everyone over to Tasks for a bit there, I got a few reminders to import my Keep lists to it, but for some reason they were struggling with basic feature parity with Keep and it overall didn't really make a whole lot of sense, as it just seemed to be a more complicated tool that struggled to be integrated with voice reminders.
It's impressive to me that the same company that makes Google Maps seems to struggle so much with a basic note taking app
The same company that makes Google maps can't add search function to Google Authenticator on android (iPhone version has search).
Same here. I'm using Syncthing to keep states synched between my MacBook and Pixel. All I'm missing is a shared grocery list for me and my girlfriend.
I use both. Keep is way faster to create simple notes. Additionally, it has web gui, and nice features like voice notes and text extraction. BTW, Obsidian requires a subscription if used for topics related to you work.
Obsidian is quite nice. No Boilerplate did a nice video on some of the cool capabilities of it.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/DbsAQSIKQXk?si=ksprtwus5Tr_T8Yp
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I really wish they didn't have to kill third party integration with smart speakers for this. Google bait and switch at its finest.
I find keep terrifically useful. But it is not supported by Google Takeout, so when they turn it off, I'd lose everything. I'm currently trying out sNotz from f-droid as a replacement.
I have always wanted to use keep as my main note-taking app, but no import option and not being to store most attachments mostly kills it for me. Most of my notes have some form of attachment. Mostly images, but PDFs and a couple of others are also in there. I’m sticking with apple notes for now. Yes, I have tried all the others and still do.
Yay basic formatting.
Keep should have had MarkDown support from the start
Their last update to the home screen widget ruined the styling and usability of it. Made all the controls and notes take up a ton more space by turning them into big dumb child buttons, leaving way less room for actual content. I switched to Zoho notes.
Ah, so we have about 6 months to a year before they abruptly kill it off.
Is there a way to mod the app to make it easier to export files and make the documents accessible from the file explorer?
