Google Keep vs. Joplin

We use it to post photos of a given area or circumstance, so there is never a question about the current appearance or the desired appearance, as the case may be. We also use it a lot for checklists. When items are needed, possibly from different locations, team members can check them off a shared list as they are acquired, so we can see what is still required and what has been acquired, and the person responsible can initial the checked-off entry.

• It's incredibly quick to load, it doesn't take long to pull up any note you have no matter how much information is in the note.
• The ability to collaborate on a Google Keep note is also great! It allows for two or more of you to work on a project in one space.
• I also love that I can color coordinate. I can make all my meeting notes one color, my personal notes another color and so on.
• Enjoying the pinning feature that allows me to keep my important notes right at the top so I don't have to go searching for them when needed.

• The iOS app sometimes gets into a state and doesn't update your notes (won't show new notes from other devices / computer), needs to be re-installed to resolve
• Your notes take up space in your Google account's quota, though this is not very apparent at first - you have to keep an eye on what you are storing - huge pictures better not go in there

It does everything I need it to do. It is easy to organize and categorize what I need and what I want to see.

They made it simple for anyone to use. There are no complicated steps involved to create a note, edit a note, or search for a specific item located in a note. They also made it simple to share it with others, making it easy to collaborate. Google kept it basic without a thousand "bells and whistles" to overcomplicate it.

Mostly, it is wonderful. However, the search could be easier to use. I use the Markdown editor, which can be made very easy to use, but is really needed to get the most out of Joplin. If you are unwilling to use Markdown, don't use Joplin.

I gave this rating based on the ease of use, the simple functionality and how well it does at keeping my attention and helping me continue to use it and stay on track. The functionality mentioned before alongside the reminder functions and how it utilizes Google's powerful machine learning tech to better its software is remarkable.

The main differential of Google Keep is its simplicity and efficiency for quick notes. I can draw on the card, put a photo, record audio if I can't write at the moment, in short, for everyday tasks, simple things, it is superior.

I left Evernote many, many years ago, but was very happy with the move to Joplin and much prefer it.

• Quick note-taking and easy access to reminders reduce time wasted on forgotten tasks, improving efficiency.
• Digital note-taking reduces the need for notebooks, sticky notes, and printed task lists.
• Employees sometimes need to move notes to Google Docs for better formatting, leading to extra work.

Incentivized

• I write my newsletter with it.
• I use it to monitor my billing - Getting money has a high ROI.
• Client notes. Hard to know what the ROI is for knowing what the client last had a problem with, but I assume it is part of why I've kept the same clients for decades.
