I ditched Google Keep for Samsung’s calendar integration, and you should too

At some point, I had Google Keep, Google Tasks, Google Calendar, and Samsung Calendar on my phone.

They were supposed to be doing different jobs, but really, they were touching the same reminders, to-dos, and schedule management.

I’d jot down a reminder in Keep, get the notification from Tasks (because Keep doesn’t handle its own notifications anymore), then open Samsung Calendar to check what else I had planned for that day.

That’s three apps doing what only one should handle.

When I moved everything into Samsung Calendar and Samsung Reminder, the daily back-and-forth disappeared.

If you’re on a Samsung Galaxy phone and still running Keep as your quick-capture tool for reminders, you’re probably maintaining an app you don’t need.
