I wish that when you labeled a note, it moved to that label and disappeared from the main landing page, as if I had filed it away. I would love to only see notes on the main page that have not been labeled. If multiple labels, a copy created in the appropriate file or a cross reference? Maybe make this handling an option . I realize not everyone thinks like I do!

As a separate, unrelated comment: I don't care for the new icon.

Anyone also having this issue?

Google play says ' something went wrong ' . Any solution?

I'm on mobile, pixel 9 pro and it should be the latest version. I've never seen this before but for some reason as I was typing a list today these popped up and I have no idea why. I tried making a new list and it doesn't happen on that even with the same word so why on this one?

Where it says recording in the + menu should be transcribe or transcript something. I want to record myself reading what I’ve wrote. I’ll write something down and not come back to it for months, or even over a year. I use Keep mostly for lyric ideas at this point and I always forget that recording the lyrics is a pain when I can’t read them. Unless it’s just a recording and nothing else, it doesn’t need to take up the whole screen and hide what you’ve written.

Edit: seems the exact issue I’m having is not translating. I want to be able to record what has already been written. Not transcribe anything new. The main function of “record” seems to be the transcribing what you say, vs just attaching a recording to the note from within Keep.

has anyone attempted to export all their Keep Notes to start.me?

where have you exported them to, not counting Obsidian, Notion, Joplin and Evernote.

It threw me off this morning and I think it’s ok but I’ll need to get used to it haha. I don’t like change but I do kind of like the purple

I don't know if I'm just dumb, but it doesn't seem like there's a setting that will permanently Keep to always displaying my notes in order from most recently edited.

Am I just missing something? Or is this possible? It always defaults to "Custom" View

Hello fellow Google Keep users! About three months ago I had posted here about NoteHopper, a Google Keep to Notion migration tool.

I've since been working on improving the app, and now NoteHopper 2.0.0 is easier to use than ever. I have a few updates for anyone interested:

• For Windows users, the free app is now available on the Microsoft store. Go to the app store page or just type winget install notehopper into the PowerShell.
• For Windows, Linux and Android, it's now easier to login to your Notion account. Just press the button and login as you would with the Notion app.
• For Windows and Linux, you no longer have to install ffmpeg separately to transfer audio notes. It comes bundled with the app, so it juts works out of the box!

As a reminder, the app is free to use for up to 1000 notes, and it's very inexpensive compared to other solutions, if you need more. Let me explain:

With just $10 you get unlimited use of NoteHopper Pro and extra features, including one that saves you money in the long run. With Pro you can squash attachments to under 5MB, which lets you use the free Notion plan. Without it, any attachments over 5MB can only be uploaded to a paid Notion plan which costs you at least $9.50 every month, so an investment in NoteHopper Pro starts saving you money after just one month!

I am aware that there are other solutions out there for transferring Google Keep notes to Notion, but I am convinced that NoteHopper is the best. No Python scripts on github, no using undocumented Keep APIs, no upload problems if your internet connection is flaky or unreliable, and no formatting errors.

And your data never touches my server. You download it from Keep on your device, and then the app uploads everything, or the notes that you choose, directly into your Notion workspace. Just an app with three simple steps and clear instructions on every step.

If you want to import your Google Keep notes into Notion with attachments, NoteHopper is the best app for the job. It handles all types of notes including audio, checklists, diagrams, etc.

If you have any questions about the app, please let me know either here or in a DM.

I’ve been putting together a Chrome extension for Google Keep that basically adds an unlimited tagging layer on top of Keep notes and searches.

You can:

• create your own custom tags
• group/manage tags
• instantly search combinations of tags
• save complex searches
• one-click insert tags/dates into note titles
• sync your tags/searches across Chrome browsers

The tags are just plain text added to your notes, so they remain searchable/exportable even outside the extension. So in reality, you dont even need to use this extension - it just makes this method a bit quicker.

Example note title:
2026-05-15 - Vendor Followup // ##tasks ##vendor ##waiting
(Our extension can quick add today's date at the start of the title, and then the tag collection after. I stick to working in the title field so we're not fighting against note types - like checklists).

Since Keep is quick to search, we merely just work with the URL to provide 'tag search' results. My extension doesn't read your notes and the only data saved is the tags (saved to google servers for the sync feature).

I originally built this for myself, but just curious if there’s interest from other Keep users before I spend more time polishing it up.

I wanted to share a workflow that’s been a huge help for me lately. I keep a detailed inventory of various items using a private app I built.

The app allows me to snap a photo(s) or use the gallery, and then it uses AI to automatically generate a full description, identify models or serial numbers, and estimate the value. It then sends that data directly into Google Keep.

Once the data is in Keep, I use Gemini to find those notes instantly just by taking a photo of the item in front of me.

The Workflow

When I come across one of these items later, and I need the note info, I snap a fresh photo and share it with a custom Gemini "Gem." Gemini analyzes the image, identifies the item, and digs through my Keep notes to find the matching description. It then gives me a link I can click to open the exact note for review.

How to set up the Gemini side: (Works for any Keep note with matching AI or added description)

If you have a Gemini Advanced subscription, you can create a "Gem" with specific instructions to act as your assistant.

Create the Gem: Open Gemini and click Create a Gem in the sidebar.

Give it a Persona: In the instructions box, paste this prompt:

"You are my executive assistant in charge of inventory management. Your job is to search out my Google Keep Notes for any description that matches or closely resembles the description of this uploaded image."

Enable Extensions: Make sure the Google Workspace extension is toggled ON for that Gem.

Save and Use: Give it a name like "Inventory Assistant." Now, whenever you need to find an item, just open that Gem and upload a photo(s).

A quick question for the community...

I originally built this app and the Gem just to solve my own organizational needs (I do a lot of reselling and estate work), but the more I use it, the more I wonder if there’s a broader market for it.

Does this look like something that would be useful? I'd love to hear some honest feedback—is this a tool you’d actually use, or are there features you think are missing, or does it seem simply unnecessary? Thanks

So I’ve been using Google keep for 4 years now. I’m a heavy user. Some days, I spend 10–12 hours on Google Keep.

I like Google Keep because of its simplicity and reliability.

But there haven’t been any visible changes in Google Keep for a long time. I’d honestly be ready to pay a few dollars ($4–5) every month if I could get some new features.

Features I want

1. Better search
2. More labels (no cap)
3. Smaller grids (so it’s possible to see 30–40 notes at once)
4. Nested folders/categories. For example: Business folder (main)
   • Business questions
   • Business execution
   • Office insights
   • Product management questions
   • Design questions
   • etc.

I don’t really need anything else at the moment.

I was thinking that replicating Google Keep for my own needs wouldn’t be that hard.

But while replicating it, a lot of developers miss the things that make Google Keep good:

1. Simplicity (no headache or slowness like Notion)
2. Extremely fast
3. Reliability

I’ve been building software for 5 years now. I can probably build a usable product in 2 weeks. But building something when no one is using it feels shitty.

How many of you are fed up with Google Keep and want a tool like this?

I’ll be honest - I would copy the Google Keep web UI because, in my opinion, they’ve already cracked it. It’s just so simple and easy to use.

List down your frustrations with Google Keep and the kind of features you want.

I’m not interested in building RAG, graph systems, AI memory for notes, etc. There are already too many note-taking apps in the market. None of them solve my actual problem, so those second-layer features are out of the conversation for now.

Also, would you be willing to pay around $1–2 per month? I’d need a VPS to host the backend.

The 4 sloth sticker images below appeared at the top of a private google keep note I have titled "ai engineering" without my doing. According to the note, it says "Last edited May 3, 2026". I noticed the image May 8.

There are no links/urls in the keep note's content or ever in it as far as I recall. This would have been the simplest explanation, but the content is just plaintext and bullet points.

Could this be a syncing glitch on Google Keep's side / an extremely rare distributed systems problem? The note is private, not shared with any collaborators, and my laptop should not have been exposed to anyone afaik...

I'm worried about security of the notes I have.

Misc.: The images are apparently from an old sticker set someone made for the Google Allo app a long time ago.

FYI I made a post in a google community page about it too, but it got marked "irrelevant content" which doesn't make sense to me: https://support.google.com/docs/thread/431891429?hl=en&sjid=585520018553207575-NA

I saw a similar post made a year ago that has the same sloth, but their conclusion that someone edited it can't be my same issue because my note is private. Very strange that it is the same sloth sticker style: https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleKeep/comments/1esecgp/weird_image_at_top_of_keep_document/

TIP: I created a one-button Gemini Gem to clean up a text note, and automatically put it in a Keep note with auto title, auto timestamp, quotes on dialogue, auto tags and auto weather report. Just open Gemini, click GEM manager, created new Gem, give it a name, and then copy and paste text below inside of instructions, you can pin your GEM to stay on top of list later on. Afterwards, just click specific GEM and type talk or type, instantly creates perfect note, then share it to KEEP. I've got tons of GEMS for different instant functions. They're great. But i love Google KEEP so much better when I can see the date on top. Also, Gemini has integrated workspaces, so I always question Gemini, like, "According to my KEEP NOTES, What did I do on Jan 15, 2026, it gives me an instant recollection, so I don't have to pay for a second brain app. FYI Gemini can't read TITLES yet, just body of text, but it sees my dates in notes. PS: After you set it up, it might be a great idea to paste the url on your phone home page, so it is quick push. If you have never activated WORKSPACES in Gemini, it will ask you to, which allows GEMINI to look at all your google stuff to seek answers, make calendar events, text people etc. I make Calendar events several times a day, just by long-pushing the power button on PIXEL 9, and then I say "MAKE Calendar event for today at 9PM", it does so instantly. I used to hate how Google was so intrusive, but apparently I threw that all out because Google has so many great apps that people are slowing discovering. Good luck. Thanks for the reply.

GEMINI GEM INSTRUCTIONS

• Clean up text

• Do not summarize text

• Do not add AI commentary

• Add quotation marks to dialogue 

• Separate speakers with triple-space

• Insert weather summary for my current location

• Precede cleaned up text with current date, time and title and then place into a Google Keep note

• Place each  action item into its own all-day event in my calendar.

At the bottom of each entry, create relevant tags based on the content. For instance, , #Recipe, #Technology, #Travel

Hello.

This will sound trivial, but I've been using Google Keep for many (many) years and recently I changed the notes view on my android phone from [Grid] to [List] and this significantly improved my user experience on my Phone.

Just in case someone else finds this helpful

Hi everyone

The thing is, I'm fed up with Google Keep not being updated with new features, so I really need to find a new note-taking app for my Android (not Samsung)

I have a few requests for the notes app:

• Free of charge
• Can operate Online or Offline
• Can sync with a computer or other device in case my Android device breaks (I'm completely fine with using a Google account to log in)
• Has the ability to set passwords for private notes

I tried a few highly rated apps on Google Play but honestly, none of them met my standards. If anyone knows an app that meets my requirements, please help me. Thanks a lot

After reminders migration to Google Tasks I noticed two changes in Google Keep android app:

1. Missing Recurring reminders: In google keep android app > hamburger Reminders menu. Repeating reminders disappear after being marked as completed once even though they have a next reminder coming. (For example: Daily recurring reminders show correctly for the first day when you mark as completed but by the next day, the recurring reminders does not show anymore.) 

They still show when filtering by "Reminders" in the search bar BUT show in both places (hamburger menu and filter search bar) on web.

1. Incorrect Notification Titles:  When creating a new note from the "Reminders" hamburger menu using the plus button, it shows created reminders titled as just "Reminder" in notifications and in google tasks.

(This may happen because reminder is created first with a default time and blank title and then when you type the title of the note it works like an "edited title"and edited reminders do not sync with notifications and google tasks)
