Google Keep

Google Keep is a new Google product for note-taking.

Google Keep, which lives within Google Drive (formerly Google Docs) and is also available on Android devices, lets you make typed notes, to-do notes, and photo notes. On Android, it supports speech-to-text typing.

Much like in Gmail and Google Drive, Google Keep lets you archived finished notes so that they are out of sight but still completely available to find through search.

A single note can hold multiple images, although there aren't any image editing tools (such as a rotate option, which would have been handy for the photo of a whiteboard on the lower right).

Toggling between grid view and list view changes not only the layout of the note previews, but also whether those previews display your checkboxes in to-do notes. For example, in grid view, the check boxes disappear, while in list view you can fully see them.

One bug we found in testing the new Keep: in a to-do note, you'll sometimes see two blank entries where you can write a new to-do, and writing in the wrong one causes new empty slots to appear, cluttering up your note.
