What is Google Keep?

Google Keep is Google's app for short notes and lists on the web, Android and iOS.

Keep is free with a personal Google Account and is also part of Google Workspace, and its notes can be pulled into Google Docs and Slides from a side panel.

Google Keep has a free plan. Paid plans start at $7 per user / month with a 1-year commitment (Workspace Business Starter). See every plan
