A Google Keep alternative for long project notes

Google Keep is free and fast for short notes. Move a project here when a note turns into weeks of work.

See the steps See where a note outgrows Keep

At a glance

Moving over: Export your notes with Google Takeout and drop the ZIP in.
Comes across: Text, checklists, images, audio and dates; labels become #tags.
Stays behind: Note colors, reminders and collaborators.
Plan: Free Plus adds Sync. Pro adds AI, sharing and full connections.

Which one fits you

Stay with Google Keep if

you keep shopping lists and quick reminders;
you want everything on your Google Account, synced for free;
you add notes from your watch or your phone’s home screen;
you share a list with your family, who edit it too.

Try ThreadPage if

a note has grown into a project you come back to for weeks;
you need tables, headings or files in a note;
you want to see what happened in what order;
you’d rather not need a Google Account for your notes.

You can also keep both: Keep for the shopping list, ThreadPage for the projects that run for weeks.

Where Google Keep is better

It’s free, and your notes are on every device with your Google Account.
A short note takes a second, on a phone or a watch.
Reminders reach you through Google Tasks or Calendar.
Sharing a list is free, and everyone you add can edit it.

Questions

Do my labels come across?
Yes, as #tags at the end of each note. Archived notes go to Archive.
Does ThreadPage sync with Google?
No. With Plus or Pro, your notes sync through your ThreadPage account. On Free, they stay in the browser you write in.
Can I bring only some of my notes?
Takeout exports everything in Keep. Import it all, then move the threads you don’t want to Trash, or undo the whole import.

Limits

On Free, your notes stay in one browser, and clearing its site data removes them, so export a backup now and then.
Sync needs Plus or Pro, and sharing needs Pro. Keep gives both for free.
One browser holds up to 20,000 notes, or 5,000 on an iPhone or iPad, on every plan. An import that would pass that doesn’t start.
