Google Keep vs Twos

Google Keep

• Quick notes, shopping lists and reminders on a phone or smartwatch
• People who already work in Google Docs and other Google apps
• Households sharing lists that update in real time

Twos

• People who want notes, to-dos and reminders in one daily list
• Quick capture from a phone, watch, browser or messaging app
• Households sharing lists such as groceries or trip plans

Google Keep

• Keep allows up to 50 labels, and labels, colors and pins on a shared note are visible only to you.
• No desktop app is listed: Keep runs in a browser, as a Chrome extension and as Android, Wear OS, iPhone and iPad apps.
• Creating lists with Gemini in Keep requires a Google AI plan or a Pixel device.
• Workspace Business editions are capped at 300 users; larger organizations need Enterprise pricing from Google sales.

Twos

• Templates, board and gallery layouts, week view, archive, backlinks and most customization need Twos Plus.
• Free accounts get 20 AI chat messages a month; unlimited chat is part of Plus.
• Two-way sync with Apple and Google Calendar and with Apple Reminders is offered on iPhone and iPad only.
• Twos says prices vary by country and are set by the App Store, Google Play and Stripe, so the price in the app can differ from the US dollar list price.

Google Keep

Notes, lists, photos, drawings and audio

A note can be text, a checklist, a photo, a drawing or an audio recording. Voice memos are transcribed automatically, and text inside images is picked up by search.

Labels, colors and pins

Notes are organized with up to 50 labels, color codes and pins. Search filters by color and by attributes such as lists, audio notes with reminders or shared notes.

Time and location reminders

A reminder brings a note back at a set time or on arrival at a place, such as a grocery list that appears at the store.

Shared notes

Several people can edit the same note or list at once, with checked-off items showing up in real time. Notes can also be shared with a Google family group.

Keep inside Google Docs and Slides

A side panel in Docs and Slides lists Keep notes, which can be dragged into the document. Highlighted text or images can be saved back to Keep.

Chrome extension and offline use

The Chrome extension saves URLs, text and images to Keep and lets you add labels. Notes can be updated offline, and changes sync once you reconnect.

Twos

Daily lists with carry-over

Whatever you write lands on the list for today, and to-dos you do not finish move to the next day automatically.

Notes, to-dos, reminders and events

A single list can mix notes, checkable to-dos, calendar events and reminders, including repeating and location-based ones on the free plan.

Search and AI chat

Search covers everything you have written, including text inside photos, and an AI chat answers questions from your own entries.

Capture from other apps

Send things in by email, text message, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord or Raycast, all landing in today's list, or add them from a browser extension, Apple Watch or Wear OS.

Sharing and collaboration

Invite specific people to write to a list, with edits appearing on both sides as they happen, or publish a list as a read-only link.

Imports, API and MCP

One-time importers cover apps such as Apple Notes, Notion, Evernote and Todoist, and a REST API, a Zapier connection and an MCP server allow automation.
