Even better, the app allows you to do this in a way that gives the same feeling as if you were crossing these items off your list with a red pen. While some people gain motivation from looking at their wins daily, some others see these wins as distractions and instead want to focus only on the tasks that they have before them.

What Happens When I Check a Checkbox in Google Keep?

Checking a box in Google Keep is usually only done after you feel you have completed an item on your list unless you checked a box by accident. Once you check a box in Google Keep, the app is signaled to move that item to the bottom of your to-do list. This means that the task is still there. The main difference, however, is that it will no longer be among that tasks that are uncompleted and will help you to focus more on the tasks that you are yet to do.

Just as we have shown above, you can remove items from the list after you have checked them off the list. You can also hide them instead, just by checking them. Doing this will archive those tasks under the Check items, which you can check out by scrolling to the bottom, depending on how long your list is. If you want those items to reappear on the main list, you can simply tap on the arrow sign one more time and they will be returned to your to-do list.

Can I Uncheck All Items in Google Keep?

Yes, you can. If you no longer want checkboxes on your list but still want to keep the items, you can easily do this by following the steps below:

1. Open up the Google Keep app and go to the list where you would like to uncheck all items.
2. Now, open up the menu. You can do this by tapping on the three-dot icon on your mobile device or by clicking the menu button on your computer.
3. Now, select the “Uncheck all items” option from the menu.

   

And that is pretty much it. Having this option comes in very handy if you have a list of things that you do daily. With a list like this, there is no point having to create the same list every day if it is the same tasks that will appear on it. Instead, you can simply uncheck all the items on the list and start over every day.

Another useful feature of the Google Keep app is being able to hide the checkboxes. To hide the checkboxes on your lists, you simply need to open up the menu and then select the “Hide checkboxes” option.
