Many people use their mobile phone to write down things throughout the day. Be it a reminder, an idea we have had or a direction. We have many applications available within this category. Although there is an ideal option for Android users. This application is Google Keep. It stands out for being very easy to use, as well as being perfectly integrated into your phone.
Google Keep is an application that has been around for a long time. Although, its importance has been increasing with the passage of time. Some additional functions have also been introduced that make it so complete. Here are some tricks.
Thanks to these tricks you will be able to get more out of the application. In this way, it will become an essential application in your day to day. Whether you are regular users of Google Keep or are thinking of using it, surely these tricks will be useful to you.
Create lists
It is one of the best utilities of the application. In addition, it gives us the possibility of marking elements of the list, in addition to being able to discard them as well. If we want to create one we have to select a new file in the application and then enter the number 1 and enter what we want to write in that column. We press enter and the next number will be created automatically. As you can see, creating lists is very simple and fast.
It’s a feature few Google Keep users are aware of. But it is certainly very useful. We can share any note in the application in a simple way. In the lower right, we find a three-point icon (as if they were three ellipsis). We click on this icon and we get an option called «collaborators». We select this option and then it asks us to enter the email of a person with whom we want to share this note. In this way, that person with whom we have shared the note will have access to it. Although it is necessary that this person also have the application installed on their phone in order to have access.
Add reminders
It is another of the most useful tricks when we use the application. Google Keep gives us the possibility to introduce reminders in the notes. The best thing is that the type of note or the content does not matter. We can always create these reminders. In the menu on the left side, we get the reminders option. By clicking on it, we will be able to choose the note to which we want to add said notice. So it is something simple and that will help us not to forget important tasks or appointments.
We can also go to the lower left part of the application and click on the symbol with a + shape. By doing this we get an option called add reminder. When we do this, the application gives us the possibility to add the alarm and if we also want a voice note with information about the task to be done or some additional indication. Possibly one of the most useful features in Google Keep.
Freehand Notes
If you have to write a very long note or you just don’t feel like writing everything, the application allows you to use a freehand writing mode. This means that we can write as if we were using a whiteboard on our phone screen. It is a very interesting option that Google Keep offers us, although it seems that not many users know about it.
Making use of this option is very simple. Since we simply have to open a new note. And at the top, we find an icon in the shape of a pen. We click on this icon and we are already using the freehand mode. So in this way, we can write or draw whatever we want on the screen.
We hope these tricks have been useful for you when using Google Keep. You can download the application below. It is completely free and has no ads or purchases of any kind inside.
