Clicking it will open a pop-up window for Google Keep. With the Google Keep Extension for Chrome, the note-taking service is always within reach on the desktop.Īfter installing the extension, an orange button gets added to Chrome to the right of the URL bar. For my own purposes, if a note-taking app isn't easy to access and use, I will continue on my merry way of jotting down notes on sticky notes and various scrap pieces of paper. Sure, you could bookmark your Google Keep page or keep a tab open for it, but neither solution feels right. Google Keep may be a great Android app, but it's less useful on the desktop because Google has yet to integrate the note-taking service into Google Drive.
