• Ticked items move down below a "N ticked items" divider, with their sub-items. Untick one and it moves back up.
• Ghost parents. A ticked sub-item of an unfinished item shows in the ticked section under a faded copy of its parent, like in Keep.
• Drag and drop. Drag an item's grip up or down to move it (with its sub-items), sideways to indent or outdent it. On a phone you can also swipe an item sideways, anywhere on it.
• Two levels, like Keep (three or unlimited in the settings). Tab indents; Enter at the end of an item with sub-items starts a new sub-item.
• Multi-line items (Shift+Enter), wrapped lines and pasted lines line up under the item's text.
• Checkboxes stay checkboxes. The cursor never lands inside - [ ]; Backspace and Delete join items like in Keep.
• Undo and redo buttons. A tick and its move are one step.

• Cards show the colour, title, text or unticked items ("+ 3 ticked items"), first image, reminder and labels. Hover a card for Keep's buttons; right-click it (or hold it on a phone) for its menu.
• Click a card to open the note over the board. On a computer it covers just the board's tab, so you can switch tabs and come back to it.
• The board is your home screen: it opens when Obsidian starts.
• "Take a note…" opens a new note with the title ready to type; closed untouched, it's thrown away.
• Notes have pin, colour, reminder and archive buttons in the top bar, hidden properties, and their labels and "Edited …" below the text.
• Keep titles can have characters a file name can't ("Sept/Oct 2026").
• Reminders pop up in Obsidian (plus a system notification on a computer).

1. Install Python, then: pip install gkeepapi gpsoauth requests
2. Download tools/keep_export.py.
3. Get a one-time sign-in code: open https://accounts.google.com/EmbeddedSetup, sign in and click "I agree" (the page may keep loading; that's fine). Then open the browser's developer tools → Application (Chrome) or Storage (Firefox) → Cookies → accounts.google.com, and copy the value of oauth_token.
4. Run python keep_export.py you@gmail.com and paste the code when asked. It's typed invisibly, used once to sign in, and never saved.
5. In Obsidian, run Import from Google Keep and choose the keep-export folder the script made.

The script only reads from Keep. Google has no official way for apps to read Keep, so it uses gkeepapi, the unofficial library other Keep tools use too.

Every feature can be turned off in the plugin's settings (all on by default; checklists have two levels, like Keep). To keep the checklist features out of one note, give it the property full-keep-mode: false.

Commands: Take a note, Take a note as a checklist, Labels of this note, Show or hide checkboxes in this note, Open the labels side menu, Create a Keep board, Import from Google Keep, and Move ticked items down in this note.

Everything is plain Markdown: ordinary - [ ] / - [x] lists, and properties in each note: keep_pinned, keep_color, keep_order (the place on the board), keep_archived, keep_reminder, keep_title and tags (the labels). The board is an Obsidian Bases file (.base) with views of type keep-board.

There's no build step: main.js is the plugin as it ships. The tests in tests/live_test.py run against a real Obsidian, with real mouse and key events:

# Start Obsidian with its debugging port (close it first). Windows:
"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Obsidian\Obsidian.exe" --remote-debugging-port=9222
# macOS:
open -a Obsidian --args --remote-debugging-port=9222

pip install websocket-client pillow
python tests/live_test.py                 # the tests (keep the Obsidian window visible)
python tests/record_board_demo.py         # re-records docs/board.gif (--dark: board-dark.gif)
python tests/record_demo.py               # re-records docs/demo.gif
