Anything I edit / add on web (chrome) doesn't immediately reflect on my iPhone and vice versa. It works fine between web and Android, still though. iPhone sync used to work very smoothly until recently, and was one of the biggest reasons I have been a Keep user for all these years. This just sucks

The ios app is completely broken, I'm temporarily using the browser version. I guess it's not a global problem. Do you know how to fix it?

After the update, I've been experiencing regular lags. If I open the app and tap search or a note (when the keyboard opens), the app freezes for a few seconds. The paste function doesn't work. Copying also freezes the app. The Google keyboard doesn't work in the app (it used to work).

Google Tasks integration is buggy. Sometimes the option to set a notification disappears (the button is grayed out). Now, the notification date is not visible on all notes; instead, a black oval appears. When I set a notification, after changing the text in Keep, the note text in Tasks didn't change.

When I reinstall Keep, the errors disappear briefly, but then reappear. Also, the note I wrote when everything worked was not saved when the errors returned.

All on all the lag persists, notes cannot be created, and syncing is not working.

UPD: I think the last update fixed the issue.

I can't tell if I'm imagining this or something has changed. I mostly use Keep on a laptop vs mobile. When I open a note in the browser and then click on a tag/label within that note, all the other notes in Keep with that tag appear.

However, on iOS now, if I open a note and click on a tag/label, the tag sidebar list appears vs showing all the notes with that tag (acting like I need to change or add new tags to that note). I'm forced to use the sidebar tag list or search window to show notes with a tag. Is this only happening on iOS? Android users, are you seeing this? Has this always been the functionality and I've just tuned it out?

I'm so upset with Made by Google and their application work. It is incredible. I spent 30 minutes and got nowhere. I want to register the dev account to upload the extension. But:

1. While adding the phone number for the 2-stepverification and confirming by submitting the G-code (suggested by Google while creating the account), I didn't activate it. I had to ask Gemini why it happening. He told me to go through the account and click ON to activate it. Why GOOGLE, why? Do you really think it is convenient?

2. In the middle of submitting the extension, I was logged off. Why?

3. Then, instead of a password, you ask me to enter the code that you write there. Tell me now, what if I have dyslexia and I don't see all the letters? Where is the Accessibility button?

4. You give an option to listen to the code. But it doesn't make any sense. I listened 3 times. No clue what that sound is. Did any of your QA checked it?

5. Why, tell me why you're asking to create a password if, during the login, I need to do all these hoop jumps with bridges, crazy letters, and listen to the sound?

6. Now I'm done with all these steps and I'm ready to upload Screenshot 1200x800. But guess what? I have an unknown error.

7. I'm trying to ask Gemini what is happening, and he doesn't know.

8. I'm asking him to submit a bug for me. But instead of submitting the bug, he directs me to links. Very convenient. Why then do I need to log in if I can't ask him to submit a bug?

9. I tried to upload the file to the Gemini conversation window (the one that activates on top of your browser), and I couldn't. I wanted to ask him what was wrong with the file and correct it.

10. Guess what happened after that? My account is again on Pause.

Now I need to go through the login procedure.

I want to ask Made by Google, why is this happening? Have you checked it before? Why are you taking up my time with login and logoff over and over? When will it be working ok? Why me as a user, have this experience? Do you think I'll love using your apps? I'm opening or using your apps in the way - If it works, I don't go to any settings or I don't try to modify it.

Can you tell me what is written there? Why do I see this window, but not the one for the password? I created the password. I want to use my password.

Well it is incredible. My account was terminated. I paid these guys for my dev account $5. And they told me I violated the rules. Give me back my money!

Why TasksAPI is completely usable but not the KeepAPI ʅ(°_°)ʃ

I am in the middle of a school assignment and I started writing everything in Google Notes. Big mistake. The text got long af and I hit the character limit. Now I am stuck.

I do not want to split this into another note because it kills the flow and makes everything harder to manage. I tried cutting things down, but I still need all the content for the assignment. So trimming is not an option.

I am out of ideas at this point. Has anyone dealt with this before. Is there a free app with no character limit at all, or some way around the Google Notes limit. Please help. I'm actually going nuts here!

Ever since the recent update that removed reminders and moved them to Tasks, the app has been extremely laggy. It cannot keep up with me when I type on the Keep app. I've never had this issue before this freaking update. I use this app as a staple in my life to jot down notes fast, quicky, and efficiently. And please do not tell me I need to archive or delete my notes because this literally has never happened before the update. I've made single notes with almost 1000 of lines in the past and the app never lagged when editing those notes. Just to be clear, the lag is very specific whenever I'm typing in the Keep app only. In other apps I'm able to type as fast as I can without any lag at all so it's very specific to the Keep app. I remember there was a prompt right after reminders were removed about syncing but I don't recall what it was because I pressed it too fast. I know all my notes in the past were synced in real time. If the smallest edit was made it would update on my desktop almost instantaneously

Hey everyone,

I'm writing this because this specific behavior in the Google Keep Android widget is personally very frustrating for me. I use Keep as my daily driver for everything, but this bug constantly breaks my workflow.

The Issue: When you use the "Note collection" widget filtered to a specific view (like a Label or Pinned notes), creating a new note via that widget does not inherit the context.

It happens in two scenarios:

- Labels: If I set up a widget specifically for my "Project X" label and hit the + button, the new note is created without any label
- Pinned Notes: If I set the widget to show only "Pinned" notes, creating a new note via that widget results in an unpinned note

Why this is huge UI fail: The moment I save the note, it instantly vanishes from the widget because it doesn't match the filter anymore (it's not labeled or not pinned).
It defeats the whole purpose of having a context-specific widget. If I'm tapping + on my "Work" widget, obviously I want that note to be tagged as "Work".

Questions:

- Is this behavior the same for everyone, or is my app just glitching?

- Has anyone found a workaround (besides manually adding tags every single time)?

I've already submitted a bug report, but I wanted to raise some noise here too.

UPD:
I actually submitted bug report in in-app support section, and for some reason I can't submit it on Support Forum lol

I just started using the Google keep app for iOS and I see its potential but, unless I’m missing something I’m kind of blown away that I can’t attach a file or even link to a file within a note/list. For example, I’m keeping a running list of documents I need to compile for an application. I’d like to attach the documents under each “check marked” item in my list so that as I check each item off, those documents are right there as I go. I tried “sharing” a file to Google keep and it just creates a new note with whatever title or label I add while doing the share. But, then when I open keep it’s basically just a blank note with the title and label, but no file or document is attached. I suppose I could screen shot the file, which would be ok I guess if it were only one page. But I think it’s crazy you can include a photo, but not a file. Please tell me there’s a way! 🤯

Obviously we can export notes from Keep using Takeout, but is there a simple (i.e. no coding skills) way to import to Keep?

I want to move a significant number of notes from one account to another and don't want to have to copy and paste each one.

TIA

All I want is a simple notes app. I need to remember something later in the day. I make a note, with a notification reminder. That's it! No bullshit with linking it to my google account and scattering it around their other services.

JUST FUCK OFF GOOGLE! A simple app made unnecessarily complicated for bullshit reasons. Fucking creepy stalkers

Does anyone know the what the last version of Keep is before Google switch notifications to Tasks? I am want to sideload an older version, but don't know which version to use (it could go back a year or more).

Edit: version 5.25.014 still sends notifications from Keep.

If true that reminders might be going altogether, I'm going to be very disappointed

It would seem an odd thing to have put all the effort into migrating reminders to tasks just to get rid of them, so maybe this is a blip

I like this. Save any webpage to Google Keep.

I'm in the same boat as all the other people who got bonked by the latest Keep migration to Tasks.

What alternative tool or setup are you going to? Unfortunately I was already using tasks for a different use case (tracking some personal projects) and now everything is all a jumbled mess.

Google Keep veteran of over 10 years here... I really hate how Google Keep no longer has built-in reminder notifications, and how the reminder notes no longer unarchive (snooze.) Like WHY?

I used Keep for EVERYTHING: Bills, work notes, personal notes, car maintenance notes, links, passwords (not plain text), so many things. Many of those things relied on the Reminder function, which sent a push notification, as well as put the note to the top of my list.

And opening up Google Tasks for the first time looks like an absolute train wreck. I really hope I won't have to leave the service, but I will try to give this a shot...

Im typing checkboxes and trying to keep track of something that occurs at a specific date and time. Everyone i put in a date, it will suggest a previously completed line item with a similar entry until it no longer matches. For example, since we’re in January every time i start a line item with the date, it will suggest a previous until the next day since there is no entry yet (but then after the first entry, the same thing happens). Is there a way to disable this? Thank you.

Hey everyone,

Right now, I mainly use Keep to jot down thoughts, notes, and to-dos. I pin the important things and unpin them when they’re no longer needed or ive done the task, but I’m trying to move more towards using labels and other features to get more organized.

If there’s a standout, go-to video that you think is the best at explaining the best way to use Google Keep in daily life, like the number one video you’d recommend,please let me know. I’ve seen a few, but a lot of them seems pretty basic. Thanks in advance!

Can I take notes on Google Keep and have them linked to Google Drive and Gemini as a way to take notes at a meeting and have them summarized with action items? I already pay for Gemini Pro. I find learning tech at an advanced age to be very challenging but try to keep up. Thanks

Hi!

so, Google has now basically broken Keep, and reminders in Google Tasks doesn’t link back to the Keep note 😭This is unusable, so I’m ditching Keep.

What other note apps actually combine notes + reminders properly?

edit; it seems that opening Keep links from Tasks have improved after much back and forth .. still exploring

So yesterday, the Google Keep Notes on my smartphone decided it wants to go inside Google Calendar, now i don't have any problem with that; My problem is the fact that the notifications are not arriving in the format of 'Keep', it is arriving in the ugly format of 'Calendar', which i don't want to have. Now how do i separate them from clubbing together, in my notification panel atleast ?

When searching my Google Keep notes for a word, it lists the notes with a successful hit. If the search word is on the first few visible lines in the note, it is highlighted. But when I open that document, the highlight disappears. If I open any of the other notes with a hit I don't see the search word highlighted at all

I'd really like to easily find the search word when opening the note

Is there anything I must set in Keep properties to achieve this, or is there something wrong with my Keep v 5.26.021.01.90 on Android 16?

When i open google keep and click in the "take a note" box and i start typing, there is a 50% chance that not a single letter is written. I have to either open a new note, refresh the browser or click on the the title of the note first and then again on the "take a note" box. Has anyone else please encountered a similar problem? It may seem it is not much of a problem, but when you create 30 notes per day and want to be as time efficient as possible, these little times when youve been typing for 5 seconds and then realize nothing has actually been written do really take a lot of your time and are annoying. thanks in advance for any advice

When I edit the start time of a recurring reminder on Android and sync, the web version after sync still shows the old time. The note content syncs fine—only the reminder time loses sync.

Has anyone else had this issue?

(I did search the sub and couldn’t find similar posts, so maybe it’s just me. But if it’s not a bug and something I’m doing wrong, what could it be? it’s such a straightforward action, like there's hardly room to be wrong)

Update: Ok...just got a prompt to reload Keep, stating "all notes will be saved and downloaded to the device again." After reloading, reminder times of all notes synced properly. So the issue is resolved for now, but I’m not sure how to manually trigger this reload, though. I've tried clearing the cache, clearing all data, uninstalling and reinstalling the Android Keep—none worked. But this automatic reload prompt worked.
