Google Keep Alternative for Android That Works Offline
Three hundred cards in Google Keep and you still can’t find anything? Move your notes into boxes for lists, budgets and places that all work offline.
Google Keep has been the default Android notepad for years, and for good reason. You tap the widget, type a phone number or start a grocery list on a yellow card, and you're done. For quick jottings it's hard to beat.
The trouble shows up a year later, when you have three hundred colorful cards and the labels and pins you added along the way no longer help you find anything. If you've reached that point, or you're comparing Keep with Easy Notes, ColorNote or Samsung Notes, the thing to look for is an app that keeps the quick capture but gives your notes somewhere to live.
How Memory Chat is different
In Keep every note is the same kind of card. In Memory Chat you group things into Workspaces such as Personal, Work and Travel, split those into Sections, and then pick the kind of Memory Box that fits what you're saving. A grocery list becomes a Checklist Box you tick through in the store, the money for a trip goes in a Budget Box that keeps the total, voice memos sit in a Notes Box, and the places you want to visit get pins in a Places Box. Writing a quick note to yourself still takes a few seconds, the way it does in Keep.
Keep does work offline, and so does Memory Chat, but here everything is stored on your phone first, including checklists, budgets and saved places. You can open and edit any of it with no signal, and your changes sync in the background once you're back online.
Keep also can't put a lock on your notes. Memory Chat's Super Memory and Ultra Memory plans add a biometric app lock, so Face ID or your fingerprint is needed to open the app.
What it costs
There are no ads on any plan, and we don't sell your data.
| Plan | Price | Workspaces | Devices | Cloud storage |

Every plan includes unlimited Memory Boxes and notes. Super Memory also adds advanced UI customization, the biometric app lock and uncompressed HD image uploads, and Ultra Memory includes everything in Super.
You don't need to move all three hundred cards at once. Pick the Keep notes you opened this week, move them into a Memory Chat Workspace on the free plan, and see whether you find them faster next week. Get started with Memory Chat.
