Tired of wasting time looking look through and re-sorting all of your notes on Google Keep?

With Category Tabs for Google Keep™, you can now sort your new and existing notes by category. Each category represents one color.

It has advertisements (Ads) and doesn't improve the experience much.

Really wanted to love this but too many flaws. Only available on web version. Adding or removing category removes ALL custom named categories (defaults to color names). Maybe that's a bug? On note, can only choose by category COLOR not by category NAME.
