Quillpad is worth looking into.

    Quillpad is absolutely the best Keep alternative I've found.
    It's only drawback is that sync between multiple people is cumbersome.

    My wife was a Keep freak and I was able to get her to switch over to Jotty. It is self hosted though.

    I am a barbarian. I just keep my tasks in a list of notes and then put an "X" beside them when they are finished.

    I use Fossify Notes from fdroid

    My partner and I use Obsidian and Obsidian Sync using this tutorial.

    https://forum.obsidian.md/t/obsidian-as-recipe-manager-and-shopping-list-tutorial/40799

    It's a little buggy at times, and was somewhat oainful to set up, but it's been working for a couple years now.

    It syncs to all of our devices. What's cool is I've created a recipe template that syncs to the shopping list. So when I uncheck any ingredient in a recipe, it adds it to my shopping list.

    I built tinylist.app a few years back and while it’s still chugging along, it’s basically in maintenance mode now.

    Holy SCHIIT!
    You did it!
    I've been looking for a genuine Keep alternative for years! Lots of them were either too complicated, missing sharing, or just not even close. But you did it. Now one of us can be in the grocery story, while the other is checking what we need. It's perfect. And as things get checked of or on, they keep their order! So we can put them in the isle order of the store and we don't miss things, having to go back and forth.

    EDIT:
    I tested it all on my own and it all seemed to work great. Then while we're both using it, the shearing stopped updating. Every time we reload the page it checked and unchecked items get reset.
    Android and Desktop, Firefox everywhere.

    Yeah the conflict resolution of the live updates is really tough. It has such spotty usage that I never truly ironed it out. It works fine if it’s not at the same time. This is more a function of the local-first strategy that keeps the UX better. I really have wanted to improve it but didn’t really see a reason to with such low usage.

    The best todo list I found is Vikunja which syncs with Tasks.org app, but it can't handle reminders well and doesn't work with Google assistant.

    I think it's crazy that Keep out of of all the Google apps is without a 1:1 replacement.

    Joplin is great, and I've been testing https://tikski.com/ lately and really enjoying it.

    NotallyX is the only one I've used that has the ability to indent items to create sublists, which I need. its not quite as stable as some options though, I occasionally get a bit of jank. Though I haven't seen any odd behavior for a while so maybe that has improved, not sure

    Edit: meant to say NotallyX. Regular notally doesnt have indentable lists to my knowledge

    Tasks.org or any markdown editor plus syncthing.

    I've switched to Obsidian with the Tasks plug-in. It is not as simple as Keep, but it does have checkboxes (and the "enter to create new task" functionality we both like). I keep it synced across devices via SyncThing on my home server.
