MySamantha vs Google Keep
Google Keep is a fast capture tool. MySamantha is a complete personal workspace.
Keep is one of the quickest ways to jot something down, and it fits neatly into the Google ecosystem. MySamantha is a bigger surface: Notes, Tasks, Journal, Email and Calendar in one place, with an optional assistant that can work across them.

Three quotes in. Okafor & Sons is the cheapest, but their first free week is in May.

- Nothing yet. Turn a line of the note into a to-do.
Which one fits how you work.
Choose Google Keep if…

The architectural difference
Keep is intentionally minimal, a capture layer inside Google's ecosystem. MySamantha treats capture as the first step in a connected workspace of notes, tasks, journal, email and calendar.
A notes app that happens to have an assistant.
Documents, tables, backlinks, version history, web capture and search all work on their own. Samantha is there when you want her, and gone when you switch AI off.

Spend less time re-reading your own notes.
MySamantha brings note-taking into one connected workspace, with AI assistance that stays optional across your workflows.
Your notes transform with one click.
Summarise, turn lines into to-dos, draft emails or explain complex ideas, all without leaving your note.
Your voice becomes clean notes.
Speak naturally and MySamantha turns your words into structured, readable notes with headings, paragraphs and key points.
Your notes organise themselves.
MySamantha generates clear titles, groups your notes and keeps everything tidy, so you focus on writing, not filing.
Every note is one ask away.
Can't remember where you wrote something? Ask Samantha, and she can find, summarise or open the note you need.
Moving over from Google Keep.
Bring your notes across
Import from Notion, Obsidian and Google Drive with your folders intact. You can export your notes again at any time.
Run both while you decide
Many people keep Google Keep going while they settle in. Bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.
Can I use MySamantha alongside Google Keep?
Yes. Many people run both while they decide. Import tools and integrations help you bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.
How does pricing work?
Your plan pays for the MySamantha software. AI usage is separate: use supported AI access you already have, bring your own key, pay as you go, or turn AI off.
Do I have to use the AI?
No. Turn AI off and MySamantha remains a workspace for Notes, Tasks and Journal without AI features.
