Google Keep for Android is testing a new “Export to Markdown” feature.
The feature has been spotted as a debug option, suggesting it is in the early stages of testing.
While this will enable easier data portability to other Markdown-supported apps, it does not yet provide native Markdown editing in the Keep app for Android.
Google Keep is one of those Google apps that thrives in its simplicity, but that doesn’t mean users haven’t been asking for more. For instance, Markdown support is one of the long-requested features for Keep, but Google has yet to add native Markdown support to the Keep app. That doesn’t seem to be changing just yet, but the Keep app on Android could soon make it easier to work with Markdown thanks to export support.
