Category Tabs for Google Keep™

Better organise your Google Keep notes

Category Tabs for Google Keep™ is a Chrome extension designed to help you better organize your Google Keep notes by color-coded categories. Instead of endlessly scrolling and manually searching for notes, this extension allows you to sort both new and existing notes by categories that correspond to Google Keep's note colors.

Simply assign a color to your note to place it in a category. You can then quickly filter your notes by clicking on the desired color tab, or view all notes at once with the default “All” tab. The extension integrates seamlessly into the Google Keep interface, maintaining familiar features like list and grid views along with quick note posting. Access category customization easily via the Google Keep menu under "Customize Categories." Enhance your productivity and streamline note management with this intuitive organizational tool.

User reviews

Users find 'Category Tabs for Google Keep™' valuable for enhancing note organization using color-coded categories, significantly improving desktop Keep experience and navigation. However, multiple reviews highlight issues such as limited mobile functionality, confusing or non-working options like context-aware color selection, and occasional bugs including image deletion. Users also note the lack of synchronization across accounts, desire for calendar integration, and improvements in UI like collapsible color tabs. Overall, the extension is praised for boosting productivity but has room for stability and feature enhancements.
Pros
  • Enhances organization in Google Keep by allowing categorization through colors and categories.
  • Makes navigation and filtering of notes easier and quicker using color coding.
  • Allows for custom naming and ordering of categories, improving personalization.
  • Provides an additional layer of classification separate from Google Keep's native labels.
  • Highly useful for desktop users integrating color-based sorting into their workflow.
Cons
  • Limited functionality on smartphones leading to possible disorganization across devices.
  • 'Make color selection context-aware' option is unclear and not functioning as expected.
  • Technical issues like deletion of images when adding notes under certain colored labels.
  • Categories and labels are not synced across different Google accounts or Chrome installations.
  • Lack of features such as syncing with calendars, mass assigning notes, and collapsing color circles to save space.
Recent reviews
Impressive extension, but I don't understand what the option 'make color selection context-aware' does. I mean, I assume it should automatically select the color when a note is tagged or vice versa, but it doesn't do anything.
