About Google Keep
Google Keep is a simple note service for jotting down quick notes, making checklists and setting reminders. Notes are tied to a Google account and sync across the devices where you sign in, and the web version opens in a browser at keep.google.com.
It suits people who already use Google services and want somewhere fast to capture short notes and lists, rather than a full document or knowledge-base tool.
