What users say about Keep It
Value: 4.0
Does it job well and has all the options you need. A big plus is that all content is stored in the Finder, so even if Keep It would not exist anymore, you still have access to your data, including tags!

Steve bring back the Library and item Sections (files filtered into folders with representing icons). The sidebar. I miss it.

There should be an easier way than using Automator to choose what folder you want your files to be saved to.

I am trialling this after the latest disastrous update to Evernote. So far it seems good. My main gripe though is that the web clipper is poor and I can find no way to add it to chrome or Vivaldi. The instructions for adding a bookmarklet don't work. If the clipper worked better I'd be tempted to go with it.

My second rating is for those who are still on the fence. KeepIt is a brilliant application for organising your notes, of all kinds. It is fast, does not stall, pleasant outline, super effective SEARCH...etc.

It's frustrating that I download the app, with the intent and hope to buy it. And every single time I launch the app it crashes. Again and again and again. How am I expected to make a judgment of an app I can't even trial run?
