If they kill Keep, that will be the catalyst for me to ideologically de-Google my online life. My previous Google-induced losses were largely replacable but Keep is absolutely the final straw.

I already migrated from Keep just for this reason. It's ok to make temporary notes there but for long lasting organisation I prefer a different solution

What did you pick?

I moved to Logseq (https://logseq.com/).

It also better follows my note taking habits. It is usually a single sentence I want to be timestamped and searchable (which is also why I wrote https://github.com/wsw70/dly to simplify the quick note taking)

Different poster here, but I focus on a file based notes system (mine is on iCloud but any DropBox, Drive, etc would work fine), right no Obsidian and Ai Writer share a folder of my “notes” in an iCloud folder.

Keep is good for grocery lists and ephemeral data, but too easy to delete a note and no way to backup — well maybe takeout works for backup.

Same here - after Keep clobbered a meticulous but long note, I imported everything to markdown files that are synced between my devices.

I'm trying to get familiar with Obsidian using a folder synced to a private GitHub repo. The flow and type of notes are kind of different from Keep though, so I may actually just detach temporary knowledge types like grocery lists or activity reminders back into physical notes again.
