Other than the clover or toolbar-shaped “Quick capture” that promptly lets you develop a textual content, checklist, drawing, audio, or graphic note, Google Preserve has historically made available a “Note collection” widget. It lets you watch a feed of notes: All, Pinned, Reminders, or a specific label. You can scroll by way of the listing, with a faucet opening the app. It is basically a miniature Hold on your homescreen and just one of Google’s much better widgets.

Google Hold also now features a “Single note” widget to “Pin a precise note or list,” as nicely as images.
