Google Keep: 5 interesting uses that you had not thought of – tuexperto.com

Google Keep is a note application that can be synchronized across your different devices, using your Google account. The interface is quite simple and its design is based on virtual "post-its".

At any time you can create a note in Google Keep and classify all your information with tags, or save links, add lists…

The main advantage of Google Keep is its simplicity. Wherever you are, you can take out your mobile and write down what you need quickly or consult important data without having to take your computer.

Here we propose five very interesting uses of Google Keep so that you can get more out of the application. If you haven't downloaded it, you can do it from the Apple App Store (if you have iOS) or from Google Play (if your mobile is Android).

1. Store links and pages that interest you in the cloud

We constantly read news, articles or pages that interest us a lot, and we would like to keep links with jokes or funny memes. Thanks to the Google Keep extensions for the computer browser, and the mobile application, you can save all those links directly in the app

Within Google Keep, you can sort all that information into categories, using the tags. For example: «Humor», «Curious news», «Memes», etc. You can also choose different note colors for different categories.

How do I save links in Google Keep?

• On your computer: Install the Google Keep extension in your browser, activate it, and sign in with your Google account. When you are visiting a page that interests you, click on the extension button in the top bar and fill in the information in the pop-up box ( title, label, etc.). The note will be automatically saved to the cloud.
• From mobile: When you find a page you like, look for the “share link” option within the browser. Select the Google Keep app and the link will be saved to your account.

2. Your recipe book on Google Keep

In the age of the Internet, it is impractical to continue using recipe books. Surely on the Internet you will find many that you find interesting and that you want to try. Use the method above to save those links and add the tag "Recipes".

In addition, as in Google Keep you can take notes quickly, you can use the app to write ingredients and the preparation process of a dish. If you ask your family or friends for a recipe, write it directly in a Keep note, add the label “Recipes”, and you already have it stored to consult it whenever you want

3. Use Google Keep to store important information that you don't need constantly

What foot size do you use in different brand shoes? What is the name of that specialist doctor with whom you have to make an appointment and you never remember? What is your membership number in your favorite store where you accumulate points?

You don't need to carry all that information in your wallet, nor do you need to keep hundreds of papers with details of this type. The most practical thing is to create Keep notes with that information and give them easy titles to find them when you need them.

This way, when you're buying a pair of shoes and you don't remember what exact number you wear in that brand, you can take out your phone and check it in your Keep note.

4. Shared to-do (or shopping) list

Google Keep allows you to create notes with checkboxes (which are checked or unchecked). The most interesting thing is that the tasks or completed items boxes do not disappear, but go to the end of the note. This means that you can uncheck and check them as many times as you want

How about creating a shopping list where you can cross off everything you've already bought? When you run out of one of the products again, just uncheck it from the list and it will reappear at the top so you can remember to buy itSay goodbye to paper and pen lists!

5. Pending movies, books and series

In many meetings with friends we talk about series, movies or books. But... how do you remember all the recommendations you get?

Very easy: create notes with the titles "Pending books", "Pending series", "Pending movies". Add checkboxes and see writing the titles on different lines.

When you have seen or read one of the items, check it off the list.
