I use the checklist function for shopping, and what I love most is that it keeps the order after being checked / unchecked, so next time I’m shopping it reverts back to being in the order I cruise the store. Another cool tip is if you are using Keep on your mobile while making a shopping list, it will auto-suggest items as you type, and if you add an item that was previously checked, it won't double the entry, it will bring it to the unchecked list!
@@Simpletivity - And a totally great shopping tip is to have a shopping list shared with my wife so that when she's at the store shopping, I can see in real time what she's already put in her shopping cart. Beautiful view! Not only that - I can add things like "Don't forget the Caribbean rum!" to her list in real time. and it'll show up on her grocery list, so she won't forget the Caribbean rum! And not forgetting Caribbean rum is the best feature Google Keep has! :)
This was so helpful. I've been trying to use this platform, but my stuff was a mess. I was able to watch, pause, try it, and repeat! I learned a lot and I feel so much more organized!
Google Keep on mobile. A feature I use extensively is hit the lower right corner 3 dots, from the menue that pops up select "send", this allows emailing of the note.
Protip for sublabeling: Type > or a symbol in between For example if you have Work, then you could have Work>General and Work>Invoices. This really helps organize things well. It's too bad sub labels arent built it.
I am using code titles for labeling notes in Keep: 01. Family. 01.01. Daughter 01.01.01. Daughter Scholl. 01.01.02. Daughter Courses. 01.01.03. Daughter Health. 01.02. Wife ... 02. Business 02.01. Main Project 02.01.01. Initiation stage 02.01.02. Planning Stage 02.01.03. Executing Stage ... Google stored Tags in order of number - so it's easy to add new tag/subtag
Thank you Scott; this tutorial cinched the deal for me. Google Docs & Keep combined have become my 'notes app'. I, too, would like to see a tutorial on 'Google Workspace'!
This is great, thank you so much! Very helpful. Quick question: Do you know if it is possible to only show the title but not the whole text of the body in the overview?
Great question, Daniel. Keep certainly doesn't make it easy to print. Perhaps the best option is to use the Copy to Google Docs feature and then print.
Scott, I love all your videos! I have a question on how you were able to color and use an Icon with your Family/Work/Personal labels? I use Keep on the Chrome Extension...Is that available or the mobile app.
I'm so glad that you enjoy these videos! For my labels, I always add an emoji in the front to make them stand out. You can always copy and paste emojis from sites such as emojipedia.org/
Hi Scott, thanks for the intro today on Google Keep. I would be moving from Evernote and was wondering whether there was an import feature and I also have nearly 4500 notes on evernote - so I was wondering how these get displayed on the front page or what you would recommend for this. I currently have most of my notes into around 260 notebooks on evernote. Would love to get any wisdom you may share for this.. Thank you
Hi Gayle, unfortunately there is not a good import option when moving from Evernote to Keep. I would suggest taking this opportunity to start fresh and move only the most important or valuable notes to start. Since the structure is also different, you may need to rethink how you group your notes together. Here is one way on how to do it: www.simpletivity.com/blog/how-to-clean-up-the-google-keep-home-page
Can you search by date? Not necessarily a meeting but notes you took on a certain day. Thinking I could open a new note each day and use it to keep all of my random "scribbles" rather than a post-its a paper notebook.
Unfortunately, there's no direct way to filter Google Keep notes by the exact date they were created or modified. As an alternative, you could simply add the date to the top of each note.
I use the checklist with reminder for paying monthly bills. The big thing I like is my notes work between my Android phone, my iPad, my Kindle, my MacBook, etc.
Great video! Am I correct in thinking that you can only use one indent in lists? This is annoying as, given that it's all or nothing (list items or text) I often need multiple indentations. And is there a way to copy-paste more than one list item at a time? Thank you!
Hi , thanks for the detailed demo. Can you or someone tell how to add new info in the same created note using "save selection to keep" of google keep extension?
Found my answer: Reminders created in Keep will not be migrated to Tasks - they will still be available in Keep, but they will no longer be displayed in Google Calendar once the migration is complete.
Yes! If you choose to Archive this note, it will keep the label but won't appear on the main screen. But you can still find it by selecting the label option.
We use this for groceries. Is there an easy way to sort through items to help clear duplicates or no longer needed items? I don't see a sort option. It would be nice if you could download and upload the items.
Great question. Unfortunately, Keep does not provide a sort option. You can always copy a Keep list and then put it into a spreadsheet to sort and then paste it back into the Keep note. I hope that helps!
@Simpletivity According to TheVerge article "How to make the most of Google Keep": - "If you’ve got the Android version of Keep, you can now format your text. You can make it bold, italicized, underlined, or crossed out; you can also change the size to an H1 or H2 heading. Look for the icon with an underlined A at the bottom of the note. (Unfortunately, this isn’t yet available in the iOS or desktop version.)".
is there a way to archive notes in an entire label - or each individually - and is there anyway to order your notes by title - alphabetically - numerically???
Hi Scott I use keep, but could not figure how to search multiple instances of a word or name amongst my notes. I ended up using FiiNote which when you do a general search, it lists the word you searched amongst all your notes, highlights it & lets you choose next or previous moving through that note, then on to the next note is there a way to search like this in keep notes?
I'm not sure what I press but I noticed you didn't go over that but I have a situation where my notes is overlapping the other note or hidden behind the other note which is very strange and I don't know how to to restore it back 😢
How do you place and size images within a note. Looks like they just pile up at the beginning. This is pretty useless IMO for creating a note. I'm looking for an Evernote replacement. Apple notes does not allow image sizing. Google just piles all of them at the beginning. Am I correct about this?
Giving an update. I hated to pay for it but I signed up for another year of evernote. Seems they are doing a decent job of maintaining it and the image thing just drives me crazy in every other platform. I need to be able to move and size my images within a document just as I would with a word processor for creating a document or presentation. In addition, I like how evernote handles PDFs. One can display them in one of 3 different ways. Just an icon for the whole doc, the first page displayed or all pages displayed. As mentioned, I keep waiting for a free version of something else to be mostly as good but I don't see it yet. One more thing, minor, but I like that Cmd-Shift-H gives me a horizontal line in evernote - to separate blocks of text and stuff. Can't really do that in other apps. Maybe some have a page break. IDK. Thanks for the comments!
Is there a search function within notes for the google keep notes app? I only see a search function for finding a specific note but not within the notes... This is quite strange
For me, the main drawback of Google Notes, is that one cannot insert links to text (apart from converting the note to a Google doc. Lots of times a simple text, like one copied from a webpage, needs to be trasced back by inserting the full URL or creating a note with it. Time-consuming and inefficient. I really do not understand why the "link" function is not implemented.
@@russireland3662 Yes, you can insert the entire URL and it will work, what you cannot do is insert a link: i.e. highlight some text and hyperlink it. It is very inconvenient when the original URL is long.
Is there a provision in Google Keep app to hide certain notes and accessable only with a Password or a PIN to secure personal data stored therein? I did not find any mention of or ways to hide/protect personal information. Risky storing personal data if the mobile phone is lost/misplaced.
Unfortunately, Google Keep currently doesn't offer a feature to hide notes or protect them with passwords or PINs. This means sensitive information stored in notes could be exposed if your device is lost or accessed by unauthorized individuals.
Hi. I accidently pinched my note and saved - lost my important information on 26.06.2023. How can i restore it? Can i see and find my notes one day before, 25.06.2023? There is something like duplication?
My biggest annoyance with Keep is that I can't search for words within a note. Say for example I have quite a lengthy note and want to search for occurrences of "plugin", I can't do that.
It's true that this is a current limitation. An alternative is to use the Find feature within your browser (i.e. Ctrl + F) once the note is open. You could then find any keyword within that note.
I used Google Keep for my Mom's recipe cards. Each note is labeled with a category such as "Cookies", "Salad" and so on. How can I easily share this entire collection with my family members? (Without having to add each person to each recipe card.)
That's a great question, but you may not like the answer. Keep does not currently allow sharing beyond the note level. Having said that, I'd love to get a copy of your Mom's cookie recipes!
On a mobile phone, how do you search for a WORD WITHIN a note? I have long notes, and all the search does on my phone is select the correct now, but it doesn't highlight the word within that note, as it does on desktop.
You're right, Google Keep on mobile currently doesn't highlight the searched word within a note like it does on desktop. You can then use the phone's built-in "Find on page" functionality (often accessed by tapping the three dots menu and selecting "Find on page"). This will allow you to search within the specific note and highlight the searched word.
Could the "/" key be assigned to a different function by your system settings or another application? See if there are any conflicting shortcuts assigned to "/" by going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
It's unfortunate that your Google Keep notes seem to have disappeared after an update. While there's no guaranteed way to recover them if they're truly gone, here are a few steps you can try: Check the Trash: Google Keep allows you to recover notes you've deleted within the last seven days. Open the Keep app and tap the menu button in the top left corner. Select "Trash" and look for your missing notes. If you find them, tap the three dots in the bottom right corner of the note and choose "Restore." Look in Archives: Sometimes, notes might get archived instead of deleted. In the Keep app, tap the menu button and select "Archive." Check if your missing notes are there. If so, tap the archive icon next to the note to bring it back to the main list. Verify on other devices: If you use Keep on multiple devices, check if your notes are still available on any of them. This might help confirm if the issue is specific to the device you updated. Contact Google Support: If the above steps don't work, you can try contacting Google Support for further assistance. They might have additional options depending on your specific situation.
somehow a giphy vid got added to a keep list. Not by me and not just one. There are about 20 ea of 3 different gifs I have used in the past. I was not about to hover over 60 different vids one at a time so the note is a do-over. How on earth did that happen and was there a fix?
i hate how on the app you can't search and highlight what you're searching within the note, only if it shows up in the quick preview near the beginning of the note
Is it possible to search for a specific word within a long note? I can use the search function to identify which note contains the word but surely I don't have to then scroll down until I happen to see the word??! Somebody please put me out of my misery on this, thank you!
You have covered these in your previous keep videos. It would be better to just make a new when new features are introduced otherwise it seems you are just repeating stuff.
@@Simpletivity the interface in itself feels very small. there could be many options like notes within notes. or atleast the checklists within a text and different types of lists. I saw an app Bear, and it's actually a very fine app with a simple interface but yet sufficiently many features. I think Keep can do smth like that.
Scott, who is 'everyone"? I'd bet all your viewers are going solo, sitting in their study, TV room, bus, watching you alone. there is no 'everyone'. So, like a good TV presenter, use singular addresses: just 'Hello...let's look at Google keep today.."
Excellent. Each time you do a session on Google Keep I find there is something I've been neglecting to utilize. Thank you.
Glad you found this video helpful, Ryan. What was an 'aha' for you this time?
@@Simpletivity ... Search within colors. I use colors for note types and I always forget I can search using colors, images, people, etc.

So why is it when I do a search for a word, it will show me the highlighted word in the preview but when I open the note the word isn't highlighted?
Yes, this is simply how Keep is currently designed (I don't have a good reason).
Most useful is this app work with samsung watch
Is there a written document with all this? Watching videos is harder for me

Why we can't put a pdf in "keep" note
Sorry, attachments are still a no-go beyond images.
We cannot insert voice notes in Google keep right?
You cannot on the desktop version, but you can on the mobile app.
i hate how on the app you can't search and highlight what you're searching within the note, only if it shows up in the quick preview near the beginning of the note
Is it possible to search for a specific word within a long note? I can use the search function to identify which note contains the word but surely I don't have to then scroll down until I happen to see the word??! Somebody please put me out of my misery on this, thank you!
I can't add pdf's to a Keep note. That's a no go for me.

Using this app to organize my nudes. Love it!
You have covered these in your previous keep videos. It would be better to just make a new when new features are introduced otherwise it seems you are just repeating stuff.
But some of us missed the other videos.

Just search on his channel...
@@mirrorreflection3479 .... but if you're lazy... and I am... I can just watch this current video. 💡
@@mirrorreflection3479 .... Besides.... Repetition breeds Retention.... for us ADD folks. 🤩
@@byDsign I agree entirely.
fake comments alert
very less options
What's one feature you wish Keep had?
@@Simpletivity the interface in itself feels very small. there could be many options like notes within notes. or atleast the checklists within a text and different types of lists. I saw an app Bear, and it's actually a very fine app with a simple interface but yet sufficiently many features. I think Keep can do smth like that.
Thanks for sharing. I agree that the ability to mic checklists with other types of content would be very helpful.
You say " as well" so often that it becomes a distraction. Otherwise great video.
I agree with this comment as well.
Scott, who is 'everyone"? I'd bet all your viewers are going solo, sitting in their study, TV room, bus, watching you alone. there is no 'everyone'. So, like a good TV presenter, use singular addresses: just 'Hello...let's look at Google keep today.."
Thanks for the input!
Great job, thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video. Thanks!
You're welcome!
