This is finally about to change, thanks to update version 5.0.411.09, which will bring Keep in line with Google\u2019s Material Design philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>This change aligns Keep with a wide range of other Google apps that have already been subject to the Material Design UI update, including Google Photos, Google Drive, and Google Calendar.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_111810\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-111810\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-111810\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"This is what Google Keep Notes new interface looks like\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/Google-Keep-Notes-new-user-interface.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-111810\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new Keep Notes interface.

The search bar is now whiter than it was before, but still acts the same as it always has. Users still have control over the color scheme of their own version of Google Keep, so if white isn\u2019t your thing, you can change it up. The other big change is the name. <strong>Keep is now called Keep Notes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apart from the new design and name change, the latest Keep Notes update doesn\u2019t bring any new features. The update is merely cosmetic to bring Keep Notes in line with\u00a0Google\u2019s singular design philosophy for all its products.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-related-articles-white\">\r\n<p class=\"sc-related-articles-white__title\">More from Softonic<\/p>\r\n  <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__row\">\r\n    <a title=\"The best ways to collaborate in Google Docs \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-best-ways-to-collaborate-in-google-docs\/\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-13-at-6.35.21-PM.png)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__text\">\r\n        <p>The best ways to collaborate in Google Docs \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    <a title=\"How to create an easy budget in Google Sheets \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-create-an-easy-budget-in-google-spreadsheets\/\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/sheets.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__text\">\r\n        <p>How to create an easy budget in Google Sheets \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__row\">\r\n    <a title=\"Tips and tricks for writing a novel in Google Docs \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/tips-and-tricks-for-writing-a-novel-in-google-drive\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-28-at-12.03.52-PM.png)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__text\">\r\n        <p>Tips and tricks for writing a novel in Google Docs \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    <a title=\"Things you didn\u2019t know you could do with Google Drive \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/things-you-didnt-know-you-could-do-with-google-drive\/\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/GOOGLE-DOCS.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__text\">\r\n        <p>Things you didn\u2019t know you could do with Google Drive \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>The update has already begun rolling out to all Keep Notes users, but it is being done in stages.
