We have been using GKeep in our family for several years. The sync speed is perfect, so we have a shopping list pinned in Keep shared between me, my wife and my daughter. It's amazing that my wife is already at the store and I can add more items to that list for her in real time. Or, it's lovely when my wife is grocery shopping, to open that shopping list and watch with delight as each goodie moves from top to bottom and I can see what I can look forward to in just a moment. Yum!

As a daily user of Keep, I only have one beef: If you accidentally delete part of your text, it's likely to be gone forever - there's no backup or saved history. If it's anything important, use the "copy to google docs" feature frequently to make a backup.

I have been keeping a digital journal in plain text for several years, but i still enjoy writing on nice paper with a fountain pen. Google Keep's grab image text feature lets me convert those handwritten entries to plain text and add them to my digital journal. The OCR capability is amazing.

What I love about Google Keep is I can reuse the same checklists over and over and if I need to add something to my grocery list its so easy to do. This app has saved me so much time. I live with ADD and this has helped me tremendously in my personal life and on the job.

I just scrolled down to the bottom of my lists and saw I have been using Keep since 2014! This is definitely one of my most useful tools. Since I work across 4-5 different devices, it is a really good shared clipboard, accessible from anywhere. Another small useful feature you missed was the ability to nest items in lists (indents) and easily move items in the lists. It is a really great tool to quickly find an image you need. I keep a picture of all the keypads (TV/AC/Cable remotes, microwave, DECT phones, . etc) at my 90 year old mothers' home, which really comes in handy since most of my conversations with her involve some kind of remote tech support.

When I need to understand anything tech related, I like to have a charismatic man explaining it to me.
And that’s why I subscribed to this channel.

My husband had a stroke last year. Thanks for the tips as im seeing some possibilities for sending him reminders. These features are great for those with memory issues.

The collaborative option, first thought was it would be great for a family dinner where everyone might need to bring specific items. The host could make original list of what items for dinner are needed. Through collaboration each person could add their name as they tick off an item. This would be a good easy way to have everything covered and who's going to make/bring specific items. 👍

[Supercat]

Love the checkboxes when shopping and the ability to uncheck when item is needed the following week or month so they come back to list

[rexbigelow]

Thanks Steve. Adding notes to to Google Keep via Google Nest had been disabled for a year or more. Recently, I discovered the feature is once again available. It's a game changer. Now, I can add notes and lists and list items without touching my phone just by talking to Google Assistant via Nest speaker, and view them on my pc. Easily and elegantly getting stuff from anywhere to my pc (not my phone) is an ongoing quest, and now Nest-to-Keep is a big part of the solution.

[MellyMelBel]

Great video, thank you. I started using google keep because it integrates with google assistant, so I can say hey google add bread (or whatever) to the shopping list and it adds it. I made a bunch of lists to yell at google about. Then I was like on wow this app is terrific and then found your video with lots more tips!

[AlanPatterson]

I have been using Keep for years and you still taught this old dog a few new tricks. Great video! Thanks!

[hannebork]

I have been using Keep for several years too, I use it on a daily base for random notetaking on the go and my meal planning amongst other things. Now here comes the awesome part, while I do my meal planning, I can do my grocery list at the same time, and then go straight to the store and tick those items off. Loove that feeling 😁 Apparently I have the add-on that Miroslaw is talking about because now I see I can categorise my list ...that's pretty neat ❤ And I do need to use the feature with recording notes way more.

[edwardCYHsu]

I agree. The voice dictation feature is a good reason to use on a daily basis. Thanks for sharing with us.

[josephhetherwick]

Thank you for all of your content, I your passion for business reminds me of my late father. The comfort in your content is like being home for the first time in many years. Keep it up! I’ve used google keep since 2016 to keep track of notes on the go. This was a beautiful tutorial so thanks again.

KEEP is an awesome tool that was designed with the KISS principle to the max. I might have missed you mentioning this but one other handy thing to use is the extension in the Google browser that lets you save the link to whatever page you are viewing in your browser to a a KEEP note. Using labels, you can then create a whole library of "your links" by category. Can't wait to see what new features Google adds in the months to come ... Great introductory video to a tool people won't regret learning/using.

[keithdavis]

Love Google Keep and your videos. My wife and I "Keep our grocery list on a note, so every time we go to the store we can pull it up on our phones and check items off. Ta-da! No more forgotten groceries. Thanks!

[richlang]

Thank You! You should also tell your viewers how to easily sort by dragging each line up or down (if using check boxes) and also the ability to uncheck an entry that has been deleted and put it back in the list. A perfect example is a grocery shopping list. Appreciate the video!
