1
Tap Add entry
Use the Add entry button on the home screen. Choose a type that matches what you want to save.
2
Add the context
Enter the details and a short explanation of why they matter. Add tags and a source or recommendation when the form offers them.
3
Save and find it again
Tap Save. Your entry appears in your notes. Search for a memorable word, use its category tab, or mark it as a favorite.
Try this: Save a Link entry for an article with “Ideas for our kitchen renovation” in the description and a home tag. Later, search for “kitchen” instead of trying to remember the website.
Different notes. One place to find them.
Choose the closest entry type. Use the description for the details that make the information useful to you.
Link
Keep a useful website with a short explanation: “Recipe for Saturday dinner” is easier to recognize later than a URL alone.
Contact
Save a name, phone number, role, and context, such as who recommended a plumber. After saving, use the entry menu to add the contact to your phone.
Address
Save a venue, street address, and city. Record what you liked about the place, then use Open in Maps when you want directions.
Task
Keep an action you need to finish, add a due date or reminder where available, and mark the task complete when it is done.
Event
Store details for a meeting, appointment, or gathering, along with its date and time. Use the available calendar actions to keep it on your schedule.
Checklist
Break packing, shopping, or a project into individual items and check them off as you go.
Document
Keep reference notes about a document, such as where a warranty is stored or which paperwork you need. This is a reference entry, not a file-upload folder.
Expense / Payment
Record an amount and what it was for. Add a reminder for a payment you need to make. These entries are personal notes, not bank transactions.
Medical
Keep your own appointment notes or questions to ask a clinician. Add a reminder where useful.
Idea
Capture something you might explore later: a gift idea, a project concept, or a thought you do not want to lose.
Organize for the way you remember.
Use a few consistent tags
Pick a small set such as home, work, travel, and family. Use the same tag on related entries, even when they have different types.
A trip can have an Address for your hotel, a Link for tickets, and a Checklist for packing—all tagged weekend-trip.
Favorite what you reach for often
Use an entry’s favorite action for frequently needed information. Open Favorites to find those items quickly, and remove the favorite when you no longer need the shortcut.
Let categories do their part
All and Favorites come first. Other category tabs appear when you have entries of that type. Categories with more entries appear earlier.
Search by the detail you remember
Try a tag, a person’s name, a place, or a word from your description. Clear the search and return to All when you want to browse everything.
Keep entries useful
Use an entry’s menu to edit outdated details. Mark finished tasks and checklist items complete so your next action is easy to see.
Small systems for everyday life.
These are examples you can adapt. There is no need to set everything up at once.
Plan a trip
- Keep hotel and restaurant addresses together.
- Save activity and booking links with useful context.
- Make a packing checklist.
- Give every entry the same trip tag.
Manage your home
- Remember which electrician your neighbor recommended.
- Note where you stored a warranty.
- Create a task to arrange a repair.
- Favorite contacts you use often.
Move a project forward
- Capture decisions after a conversation.
- Keep promising ideas separate from actions.
- Turn next steps into tasks.
- Use a shared project tag to find related entries.
Learn something new
- Save tutorials with a sentence about what they teach.
- Write down your own takeaways.
- Track practice steps in a checklist.
Remember payments
- Record an amount and its purpose.
- Set a reminder before a payment is due.
- Update the note after paying.
Keep recommendations
- Save a restaurant, shop, or service provider.
- Record who recommended it and why.
- Search by the place, person, or occasion later.
Capture information without losing its meaning.
Scan a QR code
- Tap the QR scanner icon at the top of the app.
- Allow camera access when prompted and point at the code.
- Review the captured information and complete the save flow.
ContextKeep QR codes carry entry details. Other QR codes can be captured as text notes or web links. Scanning a link does not automatically open its website.
Save from another app
Use Android’s Share action for text or a web link and choose ContextKeep. Review the prefilled entry and add a description that will help you recognize it later.
Set a reminder
- Open the reminder option for an applicable entry.
- Choose a future date and time. Check the AM/PM value.
- Select a repeat interval if needed, then save.
Allow notifications and any reminder-related permissions requested by Android. Invalid or past times need to be corrected before the reminder can be saved.
Reminders are based on date and time. Saving an address does not enable an alert when you approach that location.
Add a saved contact to your phone
Save the Contact entry first. Then open its menu and choose the option to add it to your phone. Review the prefilled contact in your phone’s Contacts screen and save it there.
A few practical questions.
How do cloud backup and syncing work?
Entries save locally first. Cloud synchronization needs an internet connection and your signed-in account. Use the cloud backup controls to check or start a sync when available, and confirm completion before relying on the cloud copy on another device. Manual syncing is limited to 10 times a day; after the limit, the Cloud backup option returns the next day. Free users may see an ad when opening cloud backup.
Why is a category tab missing?
Only categories containing entries are shown. Save your first entry of that type and its tab becomes available. All and Favorites remain the first two tabs.
What is the difference between Pro and supporting the app?
ContextKeep can be used for free with ads. An optional Pro subscription removes ads. A one-time support purchase supports development but does not enroll you in Pro or remove ads by itself.
Which account am I using?
Open Settings to see the signed-in account details. Sign out is also in Settings. Use the same account when you want to access your synced notes on another device.
What if a reminder does not arrive?
Check the saved date, time, and AM/PM value. In Android settings, confirm ContextKeep notifications are allowed, review any reminder permissions requested by the app, and check battery restrictions. Device settings can affect notification delivery.
Can I share or export an entry?
Use the sharing or export actions available in the app. ContextKeep supports readable text sharing, QR sharing, and JSON or CSV export. Review the contents before sharing, especially if a note includes private contact or personal details.
Where can I find privacy and deletion information?
Read the privacy policy or follow the account-deletion instructions. Active Pro subscriptions must be managed separately through Google Play.
