Unlimited tags + saved searches for Google Keep (my take)
I’ve been putting together a Chrome extension for Google Keep that basically adds an unlimited tagging layer on top of Keep notes and searches.
You can:
- create your own custom tags
- group/manage tags
- instantly search combinations of tags
- save complex searches
- one-click insert tags/dates into note titles
- sync your tags/searches across Chrome browsers
The tags are just plain text added to your notes, so they remain searchable/exportable even outside the extension. So in reality, you dont even need to use this extension - it just makes this method a bit quicker.
Example note title:
2026-05-15 - Vendor Followup // ##tasks ##vendor ##waiting
(Our extension can quick add today's date at the start of the title, and then the tag collection after. I stick to working in the title field so we're not fighting against note types - like checklists).
Since Keep is quick to search, we merely just work with the URL to provide 'tag search' results. My extension doesn't read your notes and the only data saved is the tags (saved to google servers for the sync feature).
I originally built this for myself, but just curious if there’s interest from other Keep users before I spend more time polishing it up.
