Google Keep Note-Taking App Surfaces, Then Disappears

On the heels of Google's annual spring cleaning to get rid of arguably unnecessary products, the search giant may be taking another dive into note-taking apps.

According to an Android Police report, a note-taking app called Google Keep popped up on the desktop version of Google Drive. But it didn't take long for the company to yank the service -- it's no longer showing on the site.

If snapped screenshots are any indication -- taken just in time by Android Police -- the app will allow users to use color codes, pictures and checklists to keep track of what you want.

Last year, Google included in an official Google+ post a picture that included an action to "Add to Google Keep."

This isn't Google's first foray in note-taking. In 2009, it announced it would be shutting down its three-year-old Notebook service, which saved and organized bits of information such as notes, images and links while browsing online. At the time, popular note-taking service Evernote was quick to roll out a Google Notebook importer tool.
