Keep is one of those apps stopping me from degoogling. Very handy for syncing shopping 🛒 lists between family members
Edit: Found quillpad from this thread. UI is a clone of Google keep. Can sync notes with nextcloud. Syncing is bit buggy though.
For real.I was looking but couldn’t find any alternative that would function the same.
I just tried quillpad on fdroid, it is pretty good if you want to avoid using google service and use self hosted nextcloud to sync your notes
Carnet is what I replaced it with, self hosted or it can be entirely local on device. But it isn’t perfect to say the least.
Hey Quillpad is great! Thanks for the suggestion. Keep is one of those small google apps that ‘just works’ so I’ve expecting them to get rid of it or something. Wish there was a way to export from Keep into Quillpad and we’d be good.
Started reading title and immediately thought “oh google closing another service” luckily it’s just an update
Is there an easy way to backup notes to something else?
I rely on notes for storing random stuff and that’s made me lazy. So I worry that I should be backing them away somewhere else.
Keep is so bare-bones I wonder why I keep using it.
I keep using it exactly be aus sits barebones
it’s so weird that it’s such a “simple” app, but I still couldn’t find a FOSS replacement that I like to use as much.
I’m very happy with Nextcloud notes.
I’m using it with Obsidian on my computer though, so not entirely open source all the way, but there’s plenty of good open source markdown editors out there.
I’m not a fan of Nextcloud in general tbh, but using markdown is a great plus over G Keep. What bothers me most about all the options I’ve tried is that they are always clunkier to do quick edits on the phone compared to Keep. Especially when it comes to checklists.
In fact if I find a promising project as base I might be willing to contribute to it myself these days. Memos might be this project.
Quillpad is the most direct alternative. Though I’m sad it won’t allow indenting list items in a checklist, I really love that feature
It’s what I started using and now I’m stuck. Anyone know of any export tools?
Google Takeout
It’s an excellent… Simple… note taking app. Don’t ruin it google
I think formatting options can’t hurt
So long as they don’t bloat it up and then when they realise it now has the same features of 3 other Google products, decommission it to simplify things.
I’m really enjoying Notesnook. It’s what Evernote should have been. Cross platform, e2e encryption, and has a web clipper browser extension.
This looks very promising. Will have try out the free option. Looking forward to the self hosted option. Hopefully that comes out sooner than later.
a welcome update but there are better open-source apps with Markdown support, like Quillpad
Interesting, I’ll take a look before Google shuts down yet another app I use. Does it support sharing and syncing over something other than nextcloud?
Does it support sharing and syncing over something other than nextcloud?
You can dump your notes in the form of zip files, which you could then share using any file sharing method. As for automatic syncing, the only supported syncing service is Nextcloud.
Thanks for the suggestion 😃
Will take a look when the update hits, but I hope it doesn’t overcomplicated it. Keep is nice for quick, short-term notes, and I like it the way it is.
Looks just like Carnet for Nextcloud
