Google Keep is Google’s take on a note-taking tool, but it’s more than just a checklist or a list of random thoughts.
For sure, because it’s Google-made, it instantly synchronizes to Google Drive, allowing you to view this from any machine that uses your G- account. You won’t have to rummage through your multiple accounts or devices to get the right note this way. You can use the mobile phone app (available on both Ios and Android devices) or browse to keep.google.com to access Google Keep. (You may also get a Chrome browser plugin for it.)
It’s also a feature of Gmail: Click the yellow “Keep” icon on the far right-hand toolbar to make a note.
