Google Keep -online Notepad

Google Keep started out as little more than a digital stack of Post-It notes. It was suitable for quick thoughts and reminders, but not much else.
But Google has been plugging away at strengthening its capabilities, making it a real contender for your home screen in a crowded field of productivity apps. It’s great not only for taking notes, but also saving articles and images, sharing lists, and setting reminders.
It has become an essential part of my workflow, and if you gave it a pass after trying it long ago, you may benefit by giving it a second look. It doesn’t have the same litany of features as software like Evernote, but that’s partly the point: There is great power in its simplicity.
Creating and saving notes with Keep on Android.
If you have a newer Android device, odds are that Google Keep is pre-installed.If nothing else, it’s a great app for rapid notetaking. You just open it up, tap the empty note box and start typing. Giving it a name or selecting one of the eight colors can all come later.
The same goes for voice or image notes. Just tap the corresponding icon and you can take a photo, import one, or speak your message. It’s instantly saved, just like files in Google Drive.
You can turn a note into a list with checkboxes - or eliminate them with one tap. Tick the box and a line goes through your item. You will forever want to banish hand-written notes once you experience this, especially since they won’t get lost in the office.
