Keep It Mobile

Well designed app only limited by the fact it doesn’t reliably import.

Most but not all items are synced from my Mac to the iPad. It seems the developer is ignoring this problem, no info to be found...not cool.

I have been going back and forth between Keep It and DevonThink to organize files and documents and, for my needs, Keep It has been more than enough. It works very well and I have found many uses for it. For one thing, I keep all of my manuals for everything I own in Keep It and easily search for whatever I need. I find answers immediately. I have begun moving my notes from other apps into Keep I and I label and tag them and they are easily searched. It’s a very well made app that is a pleasure to use. Highly recommended.

No lifetime option available.

Almost perfect, yet totally knee capped by ridiculous limitations. 1) Why can’t you save webpage articles at NOTES?!?! You can only save them as PDF, or Web Archives. As a result you then have to manually go to each saved web-archive and convert it into a note so you can edit it. It’s completely absurd. For this one reason I’ve decided to end my subscription and use something else. 2) There are a number of bugs on MacOS, and extremely limited functionality in iOS. 3) no matter how many times I change the default font size for notes, when I open a new note and start typing the text is incredibly small.

Latest version is crashing on contact. Please fix

I love this app. It’s simplified my life so much. I’m a writer and I like to clip and save things (pics, videos, articles, quotes) that I come across. This makes all that possible, and then everything is on my MacBook instantly. The only nitpicky thing I would want to see is a way to add a brief note to an uploaded pic or video. Ex. If I’m on the internet and I come across a pic that’s relevant for something I’m writing, I’ll screenshot it and upload it to a Keep It folder. But I’d like to be able to add a quick note along with the image or video so when I look at it later, I’ll remember why I clipped it and what I wanted to do with it. I know there’s tags but that is more of a sorting feature. I need to be able to write a note along with pics and videos. The tags are fine for sorting. But a little note section would be good. And I know you can add pics etc to a note you started, but that’s not helpful if I’m starting with the pic or video from a screenshot. Edited: thank you for the tip! Works perfectly. This is now a perfect app. Thank you for taking the time to help. Creators like you deserve success :)

I’ve used Evernote, OneNote, Apple Notes, Craft Docs, Google Keep, and Notion. Some key features put this way above other similar note taking apps. Well worth the price of admission. I’m impressed! But this is still a very new app and has some flaws you should be aware of. - - Tons of note organization options. Folders, Tags, Bundles, Favorites and Colored Labels! - - The ability to directly add a photo or document to start a new note which reduces friction in your workflow. - - Good Rich text implementation. - - Simple UI and clean layout despite some more advanced features - - Mac App which syncs with iPhone - - Excellent ability to sort/filter your notes in a way I’ve not seen done before called “Saved Search”. This is powerful. However, there are a number of issues that prevent me from replacing my current primary notes app. - - There are syncing issues, specifically connecting to iCloud. The app always feels like it is refreshing in the background and syncing changes seems slow, as if the server is taking a long time. It also constantly displays a syncing progress bar for a hot second. It makes it feel rough around the edges. - - When picking up the app and quickly adding a note, I often don’t know where that note landed. It would be really nice to have an “inbox” for new notes to default into, unless a specific folder is chosen. The notes could be sorted into an appropriate folder from there. I don’t always remember the last folder I was in last. - - There are certain options that should be set as defaults such as iCloud sync and sorting notes by “last modified” but you have to select these options. - - There is a lack of “polish” that can be seen. Some animations are jerky. Things taking a second to load in, the typing cursor slightly hesitating before moving, the search bar popping into view abruptly before it has been asked to join the party. Note: These could be iOS 16 issues because they don’t appear on the Mac version. - - Lastly is a personal nitpick. The app icon looks like it is an app used by teenagers to put makeup filters over their photos. It does not look like a quality note taking app icon. This app is less than 1 year old at the time I’m writing this review. I am very eager to see where the developer Steve Harris takes this app. If the things I mentioned get ironed out, this app should explode with users over the next 2 years.

I really think this app is awesome I have it in the mac and the iPhone. I like to save things for offline The search is great. I can search for a word and it will find it and even highlight the word. It even can find searched words on a PDF file. I mainly save web pages from safari using the share button and save for offline use. You can also add files and can make notes too I created folders and bundles within the folders. Basically a bundle is like a subfolder. By the way the sync has been flawless. It syncs perfectly between my iPhone and Mac. I am very happy with this app and after the 2 week trial I intend to pay for a year subscription for both the iPhone and Mac. It also works on the iPad too but I am waiting for the new iPad with the mini LED and then I will use this app with that.

I use it mostly for document filing , but I’ve got recipes in it too. Apple notes has some added tricks like Siri, but Keep It is a complete solution.
