For the convenience of managing note and todo items on mobile, and the Google Voice integration, I use Google Keep.

I hope there is a desktop Ubuntu software which allows me to access my Google Keep notes.

You can check out this article at Install Google Keep in Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty | UbuntuHandbook

  1. Download the Google Chrome web browser at: Google Chrome Web Browser

    You may check out your OS type (32 or 64 bit) via System Settings →Details→Overview.

  2. Install the package via Ubuntu Software Center, or by running the below command in terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal):

    sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_*.deb && sudo apt-get -f install

  3. Open Chrome browser and go to Google Keep for Chrome page.

    Click on the blue button which says "Free" and then select add to Chrome.

    FYI: this whole process can be done in Chromium, which is the open-source base of Chrome, and is available from Ubuntu repos, no need to download anything.

  • Things have changed in Chrome. Keep now appears as an extension. How do we add the shortcut in Chrome version 81?

    @user3601262 Thanks. It worked for me. Now I have the desktop shortcut for Google keep in Ubuntu 16.04. Note-taking has become 10x easier across devices for me.
