I can set a reminder attached to each note, which can be triggered by time (like an alarm) or by location.
The app works on Android and iOS devices, plus in any browser. With Keep, I can capture a quick note, create a short list, or record a voice memo. Google Keep replaces the “note” function of Evernote for me. Here are the key changes I made to make the switch. When I reviewed my apps and habits this fall, I realized that Google’s tools allow me to capture and store the notes and data I need. Searches become simpler, too, with more data stored in fewer locations. Fewer apps mean fewer places to monitor security and fewer logins to manage. Companies and school systems do this, too. Lately, I’ve been working to reduce the number of apps I use. With Evernote, I access these Google Apps from both major mobile platforms–Android and iOS–and the web. When I want to write a document, build a budget, or create slides, I turn to Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, respectively. I always liked that I could access Evernote from most of the major platforms, including Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and the web. Some notes included photos (mostly of equipment at a client site) or PDF files (such as meeting materials). My notes contained small bits of information: server settings, checklists for projects, and notes from discussions. Over the years, I’ve accumulated nearly 2,000 notes in Evernote.
