Here, there and everywhere: Google Keep reminds you at the right time

Wednesday, August 21, 2013

Notes are a good way to keep track of all you have to do, but most of us need a little nudge now and then. Google Keep can remind you of important tasks and errands at just the right time and place. For example, Keep works with Google Now to remind you of your grocery list when you walk into your favorite grocery store, and nudges you on Thursday night to take out the trash.
To get started, select the “Remind me” button from the bottom of any note and choose the type of reminder you want to add. You can add time-based reminders for a specific date and time, or a more general time of day, like tomorrow morning. Adding a location reminder is incredibly easy too—as soon as you start typing Google Keep suggests places nearby.

Of course, sometimes plans change. If you get a reminder you’re not ready to deal with, simply snooze it to a time or place that’s better for you.

It’s now even easier to get to all of your notes using the new navigation drawer, which includes a way to view all of your upcoming reminders in one place. And for people who want more separation between their home and work lives, the drawer also lets you easily switch between your accounts.

And finally, we've made it easier to add your existing photos to a Google Keep note on Android. When you tap the camera icon you can choose between taking a new photo or adding one you already have from Gallery.
The new update is gradually rolling out in Google Play, and available now on the web at http://drive.google.com/keep and in the Chrome App.

But when will it be possible to really store the noted in Google drive thereby negating the need for Evernote?

Nice update. I'd like to see easy note sharing via Google+ and collaborative notes. I know drive can be used for collaborative work but it is far easier/quicker to edit a note than a doc, especially on a phone.

Why not sync Keep reminders to Google Now?

Sync GKeep with GCalendar could be useful!

Still choppy scrolling on archived notes. I'm running stock Android 4.3 JWR66Y build on Nexus 4. :-(
