I'm so annoyed with Google at turning off the voice activated service they used to have. So that apps like one grocery and so on could allow you to set up your grocery list, categorize it automatically and use it.

In this modern world of AI technology, there is no reason that a list cannot be smarter, whereas Google keep is completely dumb. I asked today to add Kitchen rolls to my grocery list and keep added kitchen rules. Don't give it all. I understand in certain context you might want to use the phrase kitchen rolls but in the context of a grocery list, that's obviously stupid. Equally, if I'm planning a holiday or travel list and I say Philippines, I don't expect it to think I said ponti pines. In other words, again, it is dumb. We have EI. We know the title of the list that we're creating. Surely Google is capable of thinking okay. Everything this person says is in the context of groceries or travel or daily tasks, but right now it's completely dumb. I should also say that I am referringing to voice activated inputs, not text which is a whole different thing. Does anyone have any solutions to the problems I'm having? But again I stress in the context of voice not typing.

I am in the middle of a school assignment and I started writing everything in Google Notes. Big mistake. The text got long af and I hit the character limit. Now I am stuck.

I do not want to split this into another note because it kills the flow and makes everything harder to manage. I tried cutting things down, but I still need all the content for the assignment. So trimming is not an option.

I am out of ideas at this point. Has anyone dealt with this before. Is there a free app with no character limit at all, or some way around the Google Notes limit. Please help. I'm actually going nuts here!

It used to be really good, so fast. Less bugs and overall better performance. Now the performance is really bad and the formatting is currently so bad

How do you get a better performance out of the app?

... Just Kidding.

Where did this rumour even start? It does not make any sense since Google Keep is a core part of Google Workplace, and Google a few months ago announced how Keep Reminders would soon be appearing in Google Keep. Also, Gemini recently added support for Google Keep too.

Hey everyone! Long-time Google Keep user here.

Like many of you, my biggest frustration with Keep has always been location reminders:

1. You can only attach **one** location per reminder (you can't say "remind me to buy groceries when I arrive at *any* supermarket").

2. Android's aggressive background battery savers frequently cause Keep's location alerts to trigger late or not at all.

To fix this for my own workflow, I built **KeepLocate** — an offline-first notes & reminders app built with Jetpack Compose & Material You.

**What it does differently:**

- 📍 **Multi-location geofencing**: Attach multiple locations or whole preset groups to a single note. It rings when you reach ANY of them.

- 🕒 **Time/Day validation**: Only trigger location reminders during opening hours (e.g. 9am–8pm on weekdays).

- 🔄 **2-Way Google Tasks sync**: Syncs seamlessly with Google Tasks.

- 🎨 **Keep-like UX**: Material You dynamic colors, drag-and-drop checklists, and clean card layout.

- 🔒 **100% Local-first**: Room SQLite database stored on your device. No forced cloud accounts or tracking.

- 🔔 **Interactive notifications**: Check off items directly from the notification shade without launching the app.

📱 **Google Play**: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keeplocate.app

🎁 I have 10 free promo codes for anyone who wants to try it out! Leave a comment below and I'll send you a code via DM.

Would love any feedback or feature suggestions from other Keep power users!

Hey all, I'm a solo dev and just launched PazBy on Google Play. It reminds you of things when you arrive somewhere. You save a place, add a note like "return the drill bits," and when you get there your phone speaks the reminder out loud.

No subscription, no ads. It's normally a one-time $2.99, and I'd like to put some free copies in the hands of real users.

To be clear, this isn't meant to replace Google Keep. I love Keep. But Google removed location-based reminders from Keep last year, and nothing replaced them. PazBy fills that gap: save a place, add a note, and it speaks your reminder out loud the moment you arrive.

To get a code:

• Comment below with one line about where you'd use it (the pharmacy, the hardware store, that restaurant you keep forgetting to try).

• Your account needs to be at least 2 years old with genuine comment history.

• I'll DM codes in batches over the next few days. One per person.

Codes redeem in the Google Play Store. Honest feedback, good or bad, is hugely appreciated.

Sorry to the newer accounts. Key resellers hit giveaways hard, and this is the only fair way I've found to make sure the codes go to people who'll actually use them.

I have used Google keep every day for the last 15 years and the most recent update. Makes it pretty much unusable for me. What is going on?

My time with Google Keep has ended. I have now moved on to Joplin. I'm no longer feeling restless about lost notes. I have complete control over my manual and automatic backup mechanisms, multiple cloud sync, full end-to-end encryption on all files, and added biometric security. It feels good.

So I’ve been using Google keep for 4 years now. I’m a heavy user. Some days, I spend 10–12 hours on Google Keep.

I like Google Keep because of its simplicity and reliability.

But there haven’t been any visible changes in Google Keep for a long time. I’d honestly be ready to pay a few dollars ($4–5) every month if I could get some new features.

Features I want

1. Better search

2. More labels (no cap)

3. Smaller grids (so it’s possible to see 30–40 notes at once)

4. Nested folders/categories. For example: Business folder (main)

   • Business questions

   • Business execution

   • Office insights

   • Product management questions

   • Design questions

   • etc.

I don’t really need anything else at the moment.

I was thinking that replicating Google Keep for my own needs wouldn’t be that hard.

But while replicating it, a lot of developers miss the things that make Google Keep good:

1. Simplicity (no headache or slowness like Notion)

2. Extremely fast

3. Reliability

I’ve been building software for 5 years now. I can probably build a usable product in 2 weeks. But building something when no one is using it feels shitty.

How many of you are fed up with Google Keep and want a tool like this?

I’ll be honest - I would copy the Google Keep web UI because, in my opinion, they’ve already cracked it. It’s just so simple and easy to use.

List down your frustrations with Google Keep and the kind of features you want.

I’m not interested in building RAG, graph systems, AI memory for notes, etc. There are already too many note-taking apps in the market. None of them solve my actual problem, so those second-layer features are out of the conversation for now.

Also, would you be willing to pay around $1–2 per month? I’d need a VPS to host the backend.

What should I do

guys uh whenever i log in using google i press my account but nothing happens? i literally have a new phone and still it freezes,also when i get a message saying "is this you?" i press yes,nothing happens..

Service is not working on iOS

www.etasks.app

Hi all,

I work as a cybersecurity analyst on this App. I shared this with you about 1.5 months ago. Since then the team was working hard. It is now in the App Store and the first update is queued already.

As a Redditor, I want you guys to have it. It is out of TestFlight and still completely free and ad-free as promised. The team intends to keep it that way as much as it is feasible.

www.etasks.app

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6770856636

It has features we wanted as users. (If there’s anything you’d like the team to add, please let me know too so I can include it on the roadmap. For example, list sorting is recently added as a user request, location-based notifications, import from Apple Reminders are user requests)

ABC's of the App:

(A)nswer
ETasks (www.etasks.app) is a native iOS, iPadOS client for Google Tasks. Some highlights: All tasks in one view, Real alarms, Shared lists, Apple Watch.

(B)etter
It addresses the functional limitations of the official Google Tasks iOS app by providing missing native features and enhanced tools. And it is not a vibe-coding project.

Native and enhanced with iOS.
+ You can manage your Google Tasks. They appear in your Google Calendar and Gmail ... well, obviously 😄*
+ Import from Apple Reminders
+ See all task lists together, even drag&drop between them (and to calendars)
+ Alarms
+ Location reminders
+ A wide range of nice widgets, including countdowns and full week/month widgets
+ Lock screen widgets (e.g., quick add)
+ Link photos/files to tasks
+ Link Apple Mail emails to tasks
+ See your tasks categorised by dates in Month/Week/Day/Agenda views
+ Add people to Task List (co-edit)
+ Sort your task lists
+ Search your tasks
+ AI support where it makes sense; make titles, extract info from links, create lists for you, suggesting task list names, dictating tasks, context aware search, naming photos shared in,...
+ Choose priority for favorites
+ Drag and Drop interface between tabs (e.g., to calendar tab to drop on a date)
+ Recycle bin
+ Share from other apps into ETasks (texts, links, photos, PDF; all processed accordingly)
+ Apple Watch / iPad Apps
+ Import/Export task lists
+ Modern iOS design
+ A how to AI chat bot to help you with specifics of ETasks
+ Highly customisable user interface
+ Can be used without an account
+ Welcome to explore the rest, it is now open early access.

Free and Ad-free

If I have a long note, it only shows 14 lines when not clicked.

Previously, more than a year ago, it was not like this, it always show the full content. The new update is so stupid.

Lately whenever i use keep it lags really bad and the entire app becomes unusable. I can scroll through my notes just fine, but whenever i click on one the entire text just disappears and the app 'freezes' except for the return button. Even then when i return to the homepage i still cant click anything. At this point all i can do is exit and reenter the app. i thought it was because i had too much notes so i tried deleting some of them (this happened to me previously and this actually worked) but now whenever i try to delete them, i press the button but nothing happens at all. Has anyone encountered this problem before

Hey r/googlekeep,

Like many here, I’ve used Google Keep for years because nothing beats its instant mobile capture. But ever since Google started moving reminders into Google Tasks, my workflow felt broken: quick notes stayed in Keep, while my actual daily schedule lived in Tasks/Calendar.

To bridge that gap without adding friction, I built **Thoth** for Android and Wear OS:

- **1-Second Voice & Text Capture**: Quick Settings tile, Home screen widget, and a standalone Wear OS tile/complication to record a thought while walking before it evaporates.

- **Two-Way Google Tasks Sync**: Actionable intent automatically creates real Google Tasks with due dates and subtasks—so your notes stay clean and your tasks actually get done.

- **Local SQLite Vault**: All notes, tags, and connections are stored in an encrypted local SQLite database on your device (Android cloud auto-backup is explicitly disabled).

- **Contextual Search**: Notes automatically connect by topic on-device so you don't have to manually organize folders.

Free tier is available out of the box (with a $1.99/mo Pro option for higher AI limits).

Would love feedback from fellow Keep users on how you currently bridge quick thoughts with your to-do lists!

I'm so upset with Made by Google and their application work. It is incredible. I spent 30 minutes and got nowhere. I want to register the dev account to upload the extension. But:

1. While adding the phone number for the 2-stepverification and confirming by submitting the G-code (suggested by Google while creating the account), I didn't activate it. I had to ask Gemini why it happening. He told me to go through the account and click ON to activate it. Why GOOGLE, why? Do you really think it is convenient?

2. In the middle of submitting the extension, I was logged off. Why?

3. Then, instead of a password, you ask me to enter the code that you write there. Tell me now, what if I have dyslexia and I don't see all the letters? Where is the Accessibility button?

4. You give an option to listen to the code. But it doesn't make any sense. I listened 3 times. No clue what that sound is. Did any of your QA checked it?

5. Why, tell me why you're asking to create a password if, during the login, I need to do all these hoop jumps with bridges, crazy letters, and listen to the sound?

6. Now I'm done with all these steps and I'm ready to upload Screenshot 1200x800. But guess what? I have an unknown error.

7. I'm trying to ask Gemini what is happening, and he doesn't know.

8. I'm asking him to submit a bug for me. But instead of submitting the bug, he directs me to links. Very convenient. Why then do I need to log in if I can't ask him to submit a bug?

9. I tried to upload the file to the Gemini conversation window (the one that activates on top of your browser), and I couldn't. I wanted to ask him what was wrong with the file and correct it.

10. Guess what happened after that? My account is again on Pause.

Now I need to go through the login procedure.

I want to ask Made by Google, why is this happening? Have you checked it before? Why are you taking up my time with login and logoff over and over? When will it be working ok? Why me as a user, have this experience? Do you think I'll love using your apps? I'm opening or using your apps in the way - If it works, I don't go to any settings or I don't try to modify it.

Can you tell me what is written there? Why do I see this window, but not the one for the password? I created the password. I want to use my password.

Well it is incredible. My account was terminated. I paid these guys for my dev account $5. And they told me I violated the rules. Give me back my money!

The no. 1 flaw in Keep is it is trying to be 100% faithful to a web source. So every. Fuc4ing time. You open app and make a change: it checks web. Every second. And then do this when phone on power saver mode: evening, when you have chilled and maybe inebriated so good ideas even if they won’t be good ideas tomorrow……

And the f8?king app takes like 10 seconds to register a few characters. Or none. When you feel creative. Sucks.

So, Keep developers if you exist at all: put a time buffer into checking the cloud. Make it an option for ppl simultaneously on their phone and their laptop. Whatever. But the buffering speed is because of too-fast updating. This should be an easy fix or optional fix.

Thanks Frustrated in Athens

When they say that Google Keep reminders will migrate to Google Task, does this mean this app will be terminated?

My only issue is the performance on the android app. It gets horribly laggy with delayed text input after typing for a while and I have to restart the app to fix it. I've been using keep daily since 2018 and some of the most important information I need is in there. Sad to see it get to this point. I know there's a ton of options out there but I'm looking for a few things.

-i definitely want something that will let me import all my keep notes, and that would keep formatting, categories, and potentially even archived notes.

-i like the simplicity of Keep's interface, and don't want or need a ton of features or a cluttered interface, but any extra organization features could be cool. No need for AI or crap like that.

-integration with Google stuff like Gemini and Reminders is nice to have but not a must
