Open source alternatives to Google Keep

2 projects on starwire do the same job. Ranked by how much of what Google Keep does each one covers, read from its README and website. Ties go to the most active.

What Google Keep does

  1. Quick notescore
  2. Checklistscore
  3. Reminders
  4. Labels and colors
  5. Image and voice notes
  6. Sync across devices
  7. Share notes with others

Each dot in the table is one job, in this order. Square dots are core jobs and count double. Full means yes, half means partly. "See the evidence" under a project shows the line behind each one. Coverage is what a project documents, not how well it works or how hard it is to move to. How we score this
