On Android, iOS, and the web, Google Keep’s Tasks migration is fairly straightforward save for the loss of location reminders. However, Google Keep for Wear OS loses the ability to create reminders entirely.

After starting last year, Google Keep is more widely rolling out the Google Tasks migration. This is a server-side update that we’re now seeing on all of our Google Accounts today.

Compared to the year prior, 2025 saw a lot of updates for Google Keep. It’s easily one of my most used apps on Android. While I don’t necessarily have any complaints about the service today, I wonder what a modern note-taking app from Google would look like.

Following last month’s announcement, the migration of Google Keep reminders to Google Tasks is slowly rolling out.

As previewed last year, Google Keep is replacing its legacy reminders system with Google Tasks. This is now beginning to roll out.

Following the Material 3 Expressive redesign, the next big update to Google Keep should be the Google Tasks switch, with more details now available.

After the redesign started rolling out last month, Material 3 Expressive is now widely available for Google Keep on Android.

Amidst the Material 3 Expressive rollout, Google Keep for Android is rolling out “Sort by” options in a nice quality-of-life improvement.

Google Calendar is just beginning to roll out M3 Expressive on Android phones and tablets. On Wear OS, Google Calendar’s M3 Expressive Tiles are now widely available.

Following the updated widget in April and changes to the FAB earlier this year, Google Keep for Android is rolling out a Material 3 Expressive redesign.

Last year, Google announced that Tasks would complement the reminders functionality in Keep, with that migration still set to happen in 2025.

Google Keep could be getting a big upgrade to how the app handles search, allowing you to actually find specific details within a single note rather than having to sort through every document you’ve ever created.

While Google released a new watchOS app today, the company also got rid of Google Keep for Apple Watch.

Following the Android widget redesign, the next big Google Keep update adds rich text formatting to the web app.

As we previously spotted, Google Keep for Android is rolling out a redesign of the Quick capture widget. 

At the start of March, Google discussed the latest in widgets, including what a high-quality design looks like. Google Keep is now redesigning and modernizing one of its Android widgets.

With the redesign in November, Google Keep for Android introduced a floating action button (FAB) menu to make note creation a two-step process. As we previously spotted, Google Keep is now adding a preference to “Create text notes by default.”

Back in November, Google redesigned Keep for Android to make note creation a two-step process. Google Keep is now readying a “Create text notes with a single tap” setting.

Google Keep users this week are being prompted to “reload” their notes, while there’s also a small design tweak on Android that curves corners.

Earlier this week, Google Keep for Android replaced its bottom bar with a FAB (floating action button). It’s objectively a small design change, but I’m certainly feeling it every time I open the app to create a new note. 

A Google Keep redesign on Android today simplifies the bottom portion of the app by introducing a new FAB (floating action button), much like Google Tasks earlier this year.

While we wait for Android 15’s note-taking feature/shortcut to launch, Google Keep is readying “handwritten notes.”
