Google Keep for Chrome Launches - Brings Offline Access Along for the Ride

The Google Drive/Keep team has launched a Chrome app for Google Keep. We've mentioned before that this is Google's attempt at going after Evernote, even though Keep is still quite young. The Chrome app is quite simple, but it does include offline availability. You can easily create notes, to-do lists, and attach pictures to your tasks while working on other productive things.

If you're using Google Keep, you'll definitely want to check out this app. You can grab it from the Chrome Web Store

Google Replacing 'Scratchpad' with Google 'Keep'?

We first noticed that Google's Scratchpad app on Chrome OS disappeared last November. Not to long ago, Google introduced Google Keep. Which is their new "scratchpad app". It's basically their answer to Evernote, but still in a very early stage, so not everyone will be switching from Evernote to Google Keep.

Google Keep has a mobile app, as well as a web app and Chrome extensions/apps. If you've used Scratchpad lately, you've probably seen the image shown above. It basically directs you into Google Keep. So it appears Scratchpad is turning into Google Keep. So no it's not part of Google's Spring Cleaning list, but it doesn't look like it's coming back soon.

Additionally, you can download your notes from Scratchpad in a .zip file so you can take them wherever you want. You can check out the source link down below for more information.
