Google Keeps Location-Based Reminders Feature a Casualty of Migration

The author of this article has been using Google Keep for note-taking and has found it to be one of their most valuable tools. However, they recently discovered that a feature called location-based reminders was removed from the app in mid-2025.

Location-based reminders allowed users to set reminders based on specific locations, which could have been useful for tasks such as picking up groceries or remembering to do something when arriving at work.

The author expresses regret over not being able to use this feature earlier and notes that Google did notify users of its removal. They also mention that the feature was likely removed due to the migration of Keep reminders to Google Tasks, which does not support location-based reminders.

Despite this loss, the author remains a fan of Google Keep and prefers its simplicity over other task apps. However, they do suggest that users consider alternative apps such as Samsung Reminders or Tasks.org if they need location-based reminders.
