What is the name of Google's note-taking application?

The story behind the answer

Google’s note-taking application is Google Keep.

Google launched Keep on March 20, 2013, as a quick way to capture ideas, lists, reminders, images, and voice notes. It is available through the web and mobile apps, and notes synchronize across supported devices through a Google account.

Keep is designed for fast capture rather than complex document editing. Users can color-code notes, add labels, pin important items, create checklists, collaborate with others, and copy notes into Google Docs. Its image-recognition feature can also extract text from photographs, while voice recordings can be transcribed.

A common mix-up is confusing Keep with Google Docs. Docs is a full word-processing application, whereas Keep is a lightweight notes and reminders service. Google Notebook was an earlier Google product, but it was discontinued before Keep launched.
