Questions
Can Flick save notes too?
Yes. Share any text, photo or note to Flick and it arrives as an email. For checklists and notes you edit later, Keep is still the better tool.
Why not just use Keep's labels?
Labels help, but you still have to open Keep and look. A Flick lands in the inbox you check every day, and Gmail search finds it by its clear title.
