Keep has been going at full steam for 3 years now. It's one of their prime apps to show off drawing capabilities of the new generation of convertible Chromebooks. Don't worry, Keep is there to stay.

Are you assuming that Chromebooks have a long term future? I sure wouldn't assume that. I also wouldn't count on Keep being around for the long term. I use it quite a bit, but only for ephemeral stuff. No matter what you use though, you should have backups of anything important.

  But it's my primary pc with Ubuntu on it. And even though i hate some of it quirks, I still get 8 hours of battery life out of it even after a year of consistent use.

  Keep is on (all?) Android devices too. I use it on my phone to jot down things without needing to reach for something bulky like Evernote. It's pretty limited but for writing a book recommendation, shopping list, or a catchy lyric it works perfectly.

    For this I use a text file in Dropbox. It's on all my devices.

    Keep UI on mobile is way too confusing to me. I just make spreadsheets at sheets.google.com, make it editable offline, edit on phone with Sheets app tune in next time when I bore you with my org mode setup!

Is it because they do not have API, no backup for G Suite users, and no new development happened for a while? I.e., bugs in their Chrome extensions are serious (the last update is from Aug 16 2016 and nothing after that date). Yes - I'm very confident Keep will stay.

  They Keep iPhone app gets updated quite frequently. I suspect that the shut down of Chrome browser external apps for all platforms except Chrome OS in 2018 [1] is probably (part of) the cause for infrequent updates.
