Our verdict on Keep It
Keep It is a notebook and document organizer for people working across Mac, iPhone and iPad. It handles more than conventional text notes: users can create rich text, plain text and Markdown files, add checklists, links, images and attachments, save web links as PDFs or offline web archives, scan documents, edit PDFs and archive email. Folders, tags, labels, bundles and saved searches provide several ways to structure research and reference material. Its focus suits Apple users who want notes and documents kept together rather than split across separate tools.
The pricing model differs by platform. Keep It for iPad and iPhone is offered through monthly and yearly paid subscriptions, each with a two-week free trial for new subscribers. Keep It for Mac is a one-time purchase covering releases of the current major version, with a 15-day trial when downloaded directly from the vendor. Mac and iPhone/iPad purchases are separate. There is no free plan, so buyers should choose their platform and payment model with that separation in mind.
Apple ecosystem fit is a central strength. Keep It synchronizes libraries through iCloud, integrates with Finder on Mac and Files on iPhone and iPad, and supports Shortcuts, AppleScript and Automator for automation. Apple Mail and Safari are also supported integrations, while folders and items can be shared with other Keep It users through iCloud. The trade-off is a narrow platform footprint and an Apple-centered workflow. Choose Keep It if offline archives, document handling, deep search and automation matter within Apple devices. Choose an alternative if you need broader operating-system coverage or a free entry plan.
