I use my Gmail drafts as permanent, in-sync notes (with subject as the title of each note) Why?

- No extra app needed

- Keeps them quite hidden / private / secure

- Always easy access (I always have emails open)

- In sync with different devices

Not hidden from Google obviously :) At that point, why not just use Keep at that point to get proper support for notes?


ha, well, nothing to hide to that extent.

I don't know about Keep, but it's another app, which is kind of my point - I already use Gmail.


There's also cli access to Keep. And Google keeps on improving integration of mail,calendar,tasks and keep.


cli access to keep --> no its unofficial api gkeepapi would not trust with my gmail credentials

Though limited android keep app has one simple intent using which i create all my notes
