Google Keep is Google's free note-taking app that makes it easy to type, dictate, draw, or snap a photo to create a note. The Keep desktop version, Android, and iOS apps synchronize seamlessly so that your notes are always accessible across all devices.

Keep is available as an app, or you can access Google Keep on the desktop using the Keep site. If you use Chrome, install the Chrome extension to make it easier to save bookmarks as you surf the web. After you download the app or are on the Keep page on your desktop, a prompt asks you to enter your Google account information.
