Google Keep is now Google Keep Notes, because Google
June 23, 2025
If you head over toAPKMirror, you’ll see that the latest version ofGoogle Keep—Google’s note-taking app— has a new name:Google Keep Notes. It is not quite clear why the name of the app is different.https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/keep/keep-5-0-371-03-release/

Sure enough, if you install Google Keep Notes onto an Android phone via APKMirror, the default name for the app reflects this change (see above).
As of publishing this article, however,the listing for Google Keepon theGoogle Play Storeis still the “old” name, andthe browser-based versionof the app also retains the simple “Keep” moniker.
The very brief changelog for Google Keep Notes for Android makes no mention of changing the app’s name, and the changes made do not seem significant enough to warrant a rebranding. See for yourself below:
It is possible that this is all a mistake and Google will issue a new version of the app which will revert back to the simple Keep title. However, this could be a permanent change that Google is quietly pushing through because…of something?
Regardless, for the time being, the newest version of the Keep app for Android has a different name than the other versions of Keep, so that’s pretty interesting.
