Keeping track of our thoughts and tasks has become more critical than ever in today’s fast-paced world. Google Keep is one such tool that has been introduced, in Google Workspace, with the advancement of technology to make this task easier. It is a note-taking app for Android that allows you to quickly jot down your thoughts, ideas, and to-do lists. Google has made it easier to access your notes by placing them on your Android device’s home screen.
What to expect?
Previously, you had to open the Google Keep app to access your notes. Conversely, with the most recent update, Google has added a new feature that allows you to add a widget to your home screen. This widget places your notes on your device’s home screen, making it easier to access them. This eliminates the need to launch the Google Keep app whenever you want to review your notes.
Features
The widget comes in two sizes: 2×2 and 3×3. The 2×2 widget shows the title of your most recent note and a small preview of its content. The 3×3 widget, on the other hand, shows the tags of your three most recent notes and a brief preview of their content. You can customize the device to display your messages with customized colors, allowing you to organize them in colors or categories.

Accessing your notes directly from your device’s home screen makes tracking your tasks and ideas more accessible. This feature can help you manage your time more efficiently and stay on track toward your goals, whether you’re a busy professional or a student.
