However, we still feel a full page is better. Google Keep dims the background, allowing you to focus on your notes. It’s better when you can zone in on a new note. It is distracting because you can see your old notes below the new one you’re creating.

You are limited to taking notes in a small window, which you can’t expand. Creating notes is as simple as clicking the Take a note bar or any of the icons on the right side of the bar. You can create notes with checklists, drawings and photos. If you don’t close the app, though, you can still edit your document (or even create new ones) and sync when you get back online. The web version of Google Keep doesn’t work offline. Google was planning to discontinue the Chrome extension of the app in February this year, but that hasn’t happened yet. It has a web version and Google Chrome Extension. It is available for your iPadOS, iOS and Android. With a clean interface and general ease of use, it makes note-taking a little bit less of a chore - especially if you're easily overwhelmed by some of the more complex options on the market.Google Keep is a free, simple note-taking and planning app from Google. And its biggest draw is the app's overall simplicity. Overall, Keep gives users a lot of options for customization without overwhelming the experience.

That's perfect for creating a list of steps required to complete larger tasks. You can also add sub-items to your checklists (below each checkbox) by creating a new line and dragging it to the right. When writing grocery lists, for example, the app will give suggestions as you type.

Keep is also great for creating lists if that's your preferred form of organization. Notes are also searchable and can be copied. There's also color-coding, which allows you to easily differentiate between different kinds of notes and scan for what you need, as well as labels, pinning (for extra-important notes), and archiving. You can view your notes as a list (which will organize them by pinned notes first, then chronologically) or as a grid, and you can drag and drop individual notes to re-order and visually re-prioritize as needed. Use Keep for dynamic grocery and to-do lists.
