Google Keep Reminders



Google Keep now allows you to add reminders to your notes. Just like in Google Now, you can add time-based reminders and location-based reminders.



"To get started, select the 'Remind me' button from the bottom of any note and choose the type of reminder you want to add. You can add time-based reminders for a specific date and time, or a more general time of day, like tomorrow morning. Adding a location reminder is incredibly easy too — as soon as you start typing Google Keep suggests places nearby," explains Google.



Here's the desktop Google Keep site:









The Android app has been updated and now supports reminders. There's a new navigation drawer with separate sections for archived notes and reminders and you can now add photos from the Gallery without using the "share" feature.






Google Keep integrates with Google Now, so all the Keep reminders are added to Google Now. You'll find them in Settings > My Stuff > Reminders. For some reason, the reminders added from Google Now aren't available in Google Keep.



When Google discontinues Google Tasks, Google Keep will be the replacement. It's optimized for mobile and it doesn't integrate with Gmail, but at least it's constantly improving and it has a cool mobile app.
