Kept is an open-source self-hosted alternative to Google Keep notes
It looks and feels like Google Keep notes, but is private and tracker-free. It has some extra features too, such as location notifications, CalDAV integrations, collaborative editing, file attachments, etc.
Kept is designed for people who love fast, low-friction note capture. Whether you need a quick checklist, a drawing, or a simple text note, Kept makes it effortless to jot things down and organise them visually with colours and labels.
I imported over 500 of my notes form Google Keep, using Kept's import tool, and they came across exactly as I used them in Keep with same colours, labels, images, and pinned status.
You can host it in Docker on a virtual private server or your desktop, or using the Railway hosting service. Mobile apps are available on iOS and Android, or as a Progressive Web App (PWA).
