Google Keep tips and tricks

By Paolo Amoroso • Issue #84 • View online

What’s your number one productivity app? Mine is Google Keep.

The humble note-taking tool is the hub that ties together the bits and pieces of my projects, works in progress, and research. I file all the raw content and references there: links, ideas, short drafts or pieces, lists, and more. In addition, the Google Keep Chrome extension lets me save links and annotations on the desktop web, the Android app anything on mobile.

That’s why I’m always looking for tips and tricks to use Google Keep better, like the ones featured in this issue.
