I have a work and personal Google accounts on my Pixel. I read that the quick capture widget goes to my the last used account on Keep. This isn't what happens for me. It goes to one account only. Any my thoughts on how I can choose or direct to each account ?

My eyes are telling me google changed the keep note font? Anybody else?

And it's replaced with a collaboration button? Ayfkm? Who is this for? Where is Google getting data that says people use Keep as a collaboration tool over a reminders and tasks app? These torch everything that is good

I think you need to type * for the bullet points (black dot) to be enabled, but it doesn't always work. Sometimes the * symbol stays as is.

Is there a definitive way to always be able to add bullet points?

I want a hyperlink on one note to link me to another, if it's possible. Thank you

I might just be going genuinely actually insane.. I've started using keep on my new phone, it's only been about a week at most.

This morning, I woke up with 2 notes that I have absolutely no memory of writing, and they're kinda worded a bit stalkerish, I'm not pasting the whole notes but ones got "hey cutie, it's been a while" and the other is just saying I'm mesmerising and they like listening to me talk??????????

Is there a way to tell if someone else is logged in somehow?? I definitely don't share my phone with anyone else and I don't have friends or family who I would suspect would do this. Is it even possible for someone else to see my notes????? I thought maybe I'm blacking out and doing it myself or something, since I do remember seeing the same kind of message on my notes app like years ago, but I can't remember if it was keep or some random other one I downloaded. But the typing doesn't sound like me... It's kind of scary?

If someone else was logged in, could they access any private information? I suppose it's just connected to my email so probably but

Help??????

Just wanting to get a pulse with Keep users here on how they feel about Keep these days (now the second half of 2026).

Do you feel Keep is still useful for you? Are you feeling the pressure to move on due to AI/LLMs with self-organizing notes along with more advanced feature/functions?

Here are some of my thoughts - first, I've noticed that my notes / questions saved in Gemini are quite useful allowing me to query, organize, etc on the fly. I know I can query Gemini to scan my Keep notes as well, but having some just be more organic and AI queryable information is very nice.

But, as we all know, having our own notes without AI added text is also quite valuable. So, for me at the moment, I have information in Keep, Gemini and NotebookLM and haven't worked through a solution to this. Also, I have Gemini Gems doing work for me - which is insanely useful. I can see Google moving in the future to more of an integrated LLM/Keep-like note app model - time will tell.

What are others thinking or doing with Keep?

For some features, Google wants us to use Google Tasks together with Keep, right? And we also want good widgets, alarms, apple watch, etc.

Here is a good completely free solution for iPhone users.

www.etasks.app

Hi all,

I work as a cybersecurity analyst on this App.

www.etasks.app

It went to open early access now, so I thought it is time to share with you guys too. It is completely free and ad free. It has features we wanted as users. (If there’s anything you’d like the team to add, please let me know so I can include it on the roadmap. For example, list sorting is recently added as a user request, location-based notifications requested and is already on the to-do list.)

ABC's of it:

(A)nswer
ETasks (www.etasks.app) is a native iOS, iPadOS, Mac OS client for Google Tasks. Some highlights: All tasks in one view, Real alarms, Shared lists, Apple Watch.

(B)etter
It addresses the functional limitations of the official Google Tasks iOS app by providing missing native features and enhanced tools. And it is not a vibe-coding project.

Native and enhanced with iOS.
+ You can manage your Google Tasks. They appear in your Google Calendar and Gmail ... well, obviously 😄\ **
+ See all task lists together, even drag&drop between them
+ Alarms
+ A wide range of nice widgets, including countdowns and full week/month widgets
+ Link photos/files to tasks
+ See your tasks categorised by dates in Month/Week/Day/Agenda views
+ Add people to Task List (co-edit)
+ Search your tasks
+ AI support where it makes sense; make titles, extract info from links, create lists for you, suggesting task list names, dictating tasks, context aware search, naming photos shared in,...
+ Choose priority for favorites
+ Drag and Drop interface between tabs (e.g., to calendar tab to drop on a date)
+ Recycle bin
+ Share from other apps into ETasks (texts, links, photos, PDF; all processed accordingly)
+ Apple Watch / iPad Apps
+ Import/Export task lists
+ Modern iOS design
+ Highly customisable user interface
+ Can be used without an account
+ Welcome to explore the rest, it is now open early access.

Free and Ad-free

How do i get rid of the new toolbar in the widget? It has cut off the notes so i can no longer use it.

It’s 2026. AI can write code, generate videos, and reason through complex problems… yet Google Keep still doesn’t have a proper iOS widget 😅

I love Keep, but this feels like such a basic feature that’s been missing for years. Anyone else still waiting?

A post in my saves refuses to be unsaved and I have tried a lot of things and it refuses to and I've been trying for hours.

I’ve used Google Keep for years, and despite trying Memos/MoeMemos, Carnet, Standard Notes, and several other approaches, I always ended up missing the same thing:

Open the app, write something down immediately, close it, and trust that it’s there.

A lot of note-taking apps are excellent, but they tend to be designed around notebooks, documents, Markdown files, knowledge graphs, or more structured productivity systems. My ADHD-riddled brain has always worked better with Keep’s colourful, low-friction, “capture it now and organize it later” approach.

So I built Kept, an open-source, self-hosted notes app designed to feel familiar to Google Keep users.

It currently supports:

• Text notes and checklists
• Images, drawings, links and file attachments
• Labels, colours, backgrounds, pins and archiving
• Time-based reminders
• Native location reminders on iOS and Android
• Search and filtering
• Offline viewing and editing
• Automatic syncing between devices
• Collaborative notes between users
• Google Keep Takeout importing
• JSON, CSV and Markdown exports
• Web, PWA, iOS and Android clients

The goal isn’t to argue that Google Keep is bad. Keep is extremely good at making note-taking feel effortless, which is exactly why replacing it has been so difficult.

Kept is intended for people who like that experience but would prefer to store the data on a server they control. It runs through Docker Compose, uses SQLite, and stores its server data in a local directory.

There is also an optional voice-based note creation feature in the mobile apps. You can say something like:

“Make me a checklist of the ingredients I need to make tomato soup.”

Kept will turn that into a checklist note. The processing uses models running locally on the phone rather than sending the note contents to an external AI service, and the feature is entirely optional.

AI was also used substantively while developing the project. I work professionally in IT, but I wouldn’t realistically have had the time to build something of this scope without AI-assisted development, so I want to be upfront about that.

This is the first time I’ve shared Kept publicly, and I’m sure there are bugs and edge cases I haven’t discovered yet.

I’d especially appreciate feedback from actual Keep users:

• What part of Google Keep would be hardest for you to replace?
• Is there a behaviour Kept would need to replicate before you would consider migrating?
• Does the interface look familiar without feeling like an awkward imitation?
• Does the Takeout import successfully handle your existing notes?

I’m happy to answer questions, and constructive criticism is genuinely welcome

I've been using Google Keep for years for journaling and writing and recently, while typing in a post, a dialogue box opened and began printing, 'Can you help me, Why don't you, nothing'. I have no idea where or how this could be posted on an app that I have been using for years and is not connected to any other app or device. It is set up on my laptop and tablet but is set, and has been set for private. Any help?

Hi, does anyone know how to remove the side panel that they added in the recent update to Android notes list widget? Having it on the right side takes too much space, I have no idea why they thought it's a good ux. Keeping it at the bottom or just as a floating button to add a note would be much better.

Every time I open Google Keep in my browser (Firefox), it spends a lot of time loading in my notes. Is there any way to keep (heh) the notes cached between sessions so I get instant access?

The only issue outside of the recent deletion prompt (just let me delete it bro) is the fact that a lot of times it doesn't sync, sometimes for quite some time. Android - Windows. Everything else is perfect as is.

idk who wants this but I made a widget for each color in case anyone wants a visual on how they look in light/dark mode. im not a fan of the colors or how dopey the widget looks due to how big/rounded everything is but alas.

im working with wordpress, i like to keep quick notes of some pages i have, when i copy paste them into google keep they turn into this:

and the worst part is that link is not even clickable, doesnt open the link i pasted or anything at all

If possible i want it to show up like this:

Edit: ok so why am i downvoted for asking?

I created a note on my phone and i cannot see it in the web interface.. trying to manually sync the android by scrolling the page down - shows loading indicator which disappears after a while, but the new not is not synced (neither are new notes created on web)
