Google Keep allows you to record notes and organise, edit, or share them with others using a suite of collaboration tools. You can also use Google Keep to create voice notes, or set time- and location-based reminders. It’s perfect for organising ideas or quickly jotting down inspiration wherever you are.
There are additional features that only work on mobile, so be sure that you also install the app on your mobile devices.

Add check boxes to make an instant checklist — perfect for a grocery list or a “to-do” list.
Snap a picture to attach to a note.
Draw a picture freehand using the drawing tool (great for ideas where text and photos won’t do them justice).
Annotate or label text or an image.
Colour code your notes to organise them.
Attach a label to notes, keeping ideas for projects and classes all together.
Set reminders — based on time or your location via GPS — that will draw your attention back to that note when you need it.
Take voice notes (using android and IOS mobile apps - not currently available in desktop version) - a great way to take notes when you are on the go or for students who may struggle with writing or typing. BONUS: Speech is translated into text and added to your note!
Share notes with collaborators so all of you can view and edit them.
