Capture, organize, and retrieve notes and checklists

What You Can Do

Google Keep is the quick-capture tool in the Google ecosystem — perfect for short notes, checklists, and reminders. OpenClaw gives you programmatic access to your Keep library.

  • Create notes — New text notes with optional title, body, color, and labels
  • Create checklists — Notes with individual checkable items
  • Read notes — Retrieve full note content including all list items and their check state
  • Search notes — Find notes matching a text query across titles and bodies
  • Filter by label — List all notes with a specific label
  • Filter by color — Retrieve notes of a specific color (WHITE, RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, TEAL, BLUE, CERULEAN, PURPLE, PINK, BROWN, GRAY)
  • Update notes — Modify title, body, color, or archived state
  • Add list items — Append new checklist items to existing notes
  • Check/uncheck items — Toggle completion state on checklist items
  • Archive notes — Move notes to the archive without deleting
  • Delete notes — Permanently remove notes
  • Labels — Create labels and assign them to notes for organization

    • Try Asking

  • "Create a Keep note called 'Groceries' with a checklist: milk, eggs, bread, coffee"
  • "Add 'call dentist' to my To-Do checklist note"
  • "Check off 'milk' on my groceries list"
  • "Show me all my notes labeled 'Work'"
  • "Find Keep notes about the product launch"
  • "Archive all yellow notes"
  • "Create a note with color BLUE titled 'Ideas' and body 'New product feature concepts'"

    • Pro Tips

  • Color coding is a quick visual organization system — assign colors to categories (e.g., RED = urgent)
  • Checklists are best for tasks with discrete completion states; text notes for open-ended content
  • Labels work like tags — a note can have multiple labels
  • Archived notes don't clutter the main view but remain searchable
  • Keep has no folders — labels and colors are the primary organization primitives
  • Combine with Gmail: find a note about a topic, then draft an email summarizing it
