Following the Android widget redesign, the next big Google Keep update adds rich text formatting to the web app.
The Google Keep text editor will add a new underlined A button in the bottom-left corner. Tapping brings up a toolbar with H1, H2, and Aa (regular text). You can also bold, italicize, underline, and remove formatting.
RTF rolled out to Android in October of 2023. Annoyingly, that formatting is not reflected on the web (or iOS app, if you’re a cross-platform user). That will hopefully now sync over, though Google’s short announcement today makes no reference to that.
Rich text formatting for Keep on the web is rolling out to “all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts.” It’s not yet live on accounts we checked today, but expect full availability in the coming weeks.
This addition follows the widget redesign and ability to create “text notes by default.” The past few weeks have been busier than usual for Google Keep and hopefully the quality-of-improvements continue.
