Google Keep Gets Major Redesign with Pill-Shaped Toolbar
Google Keep is getting an update that could make it easier to create complex notes. The new features include a pill-shaped toolbar that makes editing features more accessible. However, some existing features have vanished, suggesting that this redesign may not be ready yet.
The new toolbar design floats in the middle of the screen and includes buttons for common tasks such as converting text to checklists and adding images. It also includes a button for speech-to-text typing, which can transcribe what you say into written text. However, some features are missing, including formatting options and note backgrounds.
It seems that Google is experimenting with this new design internally, but it's not widely available yet. The update was spotted in version 5.26.361.01.90 beta of the Google Keep app. It's unclear when or if this redesign will be finalized.
