LoopQue vs Google Keep
Google Keep is fast, free, and very good at catching a thought before it goes. It is a notebook. This page is about what happens next: whether anything works out what the note actually obliges you to do, and when.
| Feature | LoopQue | Google Keep |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free tier, then Pro | Free |
| Reminder from a photo | Yes | No |
| Pulls text out of an image | Yes | Yes |
| Reads the date off a letter | Yes | No |
| Fills in title, due date and category | Yes | You type it |
| Suggests a calendar event | Yes, on Pro | No |
| Items with no date | Become a loop, nudged on Pro | Sit as a note |
| Free-form notes and boards | Shopping lists only | Yes, very good |
| Shared collaborative notes | No | Yes |
When Google Keep is the better choice
For shared notes, colour-coded boards and free-form jotting, Keep is better, and it is free. It will also pull the text out of a picture. LoopQue is not trying to be a notebook, and if a notebook is what you want, Keep is the one to use.
The short version
Keep stores what you wrote down, and can read text off a picture. LoopQue works out what that text obliges you to do, and puts a date on it.
Can I use both?
Yes. Keep for notes you write yourself, LoopQue for documents and messages that arrive carrying a deadline.
Keep can already read text in a photo — what is different?
Keep gives you the text. LoopQue works out what the text means: what it is, what it obliges you to do, and when it is due, then fills that in for you to confirm.
Does LoopQue work on Android?
Yes. LoopQue is on Google Play as well as the App Store.
