In 2025, Google Keep underwent significant updates, enhancing its functionality and design for users. The introduction of Material 3 Expressive marked a key design overhaul, aligning the search app bar with other Google Workspace applications like Docs and Gmail.
Notably, the floating action button (FAB) was redesigned to streamline note creation, which now requires a two-step process. April brought additional changes, including a revamped Quick capture homescreen widget, while web users gained access to text formatting features. However, the Apple Watch application was discontinued due to a lack of updates.
The Wear OS application also received improvements, particularly benefiting from updates to the Tile feature. Users can now organize their notes on the homepage, and Google continues to implement the migration of reminders to Tasks.
Despite these enhancements, Google Keep remains simpler compared to competitors like Apple Notes. While it serves as an efficient scratchpad for many Android users, there are calls for further quality-of-life improvements and modernization of the web interface.
