[ Google Keep ]

This is a must for me on all of my phones, computers, etc. Its a great way to keep up with what ever you need & not have to worry about having to search for important information anymore as its accessible via what ever device you have the app on or just by visiting https://keep.google.com once your signed into your Google Account.

I use it a lot for things like my wifi settings, shopping lists, keeping up with my expenses, and much more. Its a very good resource for pretty much anyone.

I highly recommend this service & its app!

Careful with those expenses, do not reveal private information. Just my advice.

Remember that everything you type in there isn't encrypted and google scans all. When it's free, you're the product. (usually)

Google Keep is fine for those seeking basic, bare bones task management. I suppose one of its benefits is easy integration with Gmail & Calendar. But besides changing a note's color, due dates, reminders, & repeats, it doesn't do much else.

After trying out MANY task management apps over the course of 2 years, my current go to is TickTick.

it's really convenient to have cloud synchronization enabled to share all my notes across all devices and websites. Used it actively for a long time

What is Google Keep?

Google Keep is a multifunctional service offered by Google that merges the functionalities of note-taking and web browsing. It allows users to swiftly capture their thoughts, ideas or tasks and retrieve them conveniently from any location. Users can create various forms of notes including checklists, voice notes, and photo annotations. A significant feature of Google Keep is its cross-device synchronization capability. Any item added to Google Keep is instantly accessible across all user devices, both desktop and mobile.

This service offers a variety of features to manage and organize your notes. Users can categorize their thoughts in the form of notes, lists, and photos. One of its unique features is the automatic transcription of voice notes. Google Keep also allows users to color-code their notes for easier retrieval in the future.
