Stay on task with today’s updates in Google Keep
April 20, 2016
How many times have you found yourself with a great idea, but no easy way to jot it down for later? Or maybe you’ve got lots of notes scattered around, without no central spot to find them. Having a single place to capture what’s on your mind and save your ideas and to-do lists is what
Google Keep
is all about, and today's updates give you a few new ways to collect and manage the information that's important to you.
Keep is ready when you are
The next time you’re on a website that you want to remember or reference later on, use the new
Keep Chrome extension
to add it—or any part of it—to a note in Keep. Just click the Keep badge to add a site’s link to a note, or select some text or an image and create a new note from the right-click menu.
Same goes for
Android
—you can now create a note while you’re browsing or tapping away in other apps—without having to open Keep. Just open the “Share via” window and choose Keep to create a new note.
Organize your thoughts with #Labels
One of your top asks has been for a way to organize and categorize notes, and now it’s as easy as using a #hashtag. This should help you keep track of to-do lists for a #trip or a collect your favorite #recipes, for example.
You’ll also notice that some of the menus have been moved around to group similar options together, as pictured below.
So whether you’re researching a project at work, putting together details for your
Science Fair
submission, or collecting inspiration for your upcoming home renovation, give these updates a try on the
web
, or with the Keep app on
Android
and for
iPhone & iPad
.
