This is really very useful extension. Color coding goes to next level for Desktop web version. I really liked giving custom names for each color coding and arranging them in personal order at the same time disabling unused colors.

Exactly what I needed! Being able to categorise notes (in addition to labeling them) is the one thing I genuinely wished Google Keep to allow.

Like it; it improves Google Keep from a usability PoV. I would like to see some enhancements made though:
1. save/load categories - when you temp. switch off.on the extension, they're all gone
2. have categories for each Google Account; they are now tight to one Chrome installation, which isn't handy with multiple accounts. I don't want to have to login to a different Chrome account in order to be able to do this.
3. when changing the categorie labels, it doesn't do this in the label 'picker' as well, so when assigning a category to a created note, you're back to colours, which is even more of an issue in combination with (4) below.
4. You can change the order of the colours and the labels, but it only does this in the header, not in the 'label picker' when assigning categories to notes, basically meaning you better not rearrange the colours to avoid confusion.when assigning.
5. Would be very nice to be able to mass-[re]assign existing notes to a [new] category.

Great idea, very handy extension! Using it every single day as part of my Google Keep workflow.
This is the most important extension for Google Keep users.

1. Since the upgrade to Google Chrome 80.xx, the categories are not underlined anymore when clicked. They do click and work so each category does load, but the categories are just not underlined. The default "All" category stays underlined, no matter what category is selected.

2. The input field "Take a Note" has dissapeared. Only the default "All" category has the "Take a Note" input field. Previously one could take notes from any selected category, which was very neat and handy!

Although disappointing that I can't do more than categorize by colors (can't get all the features functional) on my Chromebook, this is *still* A GREAT EXTENSION!

Fantastic, for certain use cases.

At first, I thought this extension wasn't working. In the settings, I enabled Dark Blue and changed the name to match one of my labels in Keep... and nothing happened. I finally realized that the extension creates a new system of categorization, entirely separate from the built-in labels.

On the one hand, this gives the user more flexibility to use two different systems of categorization--for instance, labels for topic and colors for priority.

On the other hand, changing a note's color doesn't add any text to it, so you can't look at the note itself and see what the color represents. And since the extension only works in Chromium browsers, you can't see the colors' category names at all on your mobile device (possibly unless you use an alternative Chromium browser like Kiwi or Yandex).

To sum up, what I thought/hoped this extension could do was assign colors to Keep's built-in labels, which would have been a nice, if subtle, tweak that would make it easier to glance through my notes in Keep on every device. Instead, it offers a search-by-color feature and a legend showing user-assigned titles for each color, which together function as a secondary organization system in extension-enabled Chromium browsers.

The extension works just as intended, and I can definitely see its merits, but it has a few key limitations (acknowledged by the developer) and as a result it's just not what I was looking for.

Great extension for a fantastic app. Stopped using labels as I always forget to add. Adding colours is more obvious. Colour, pinned, non-pinned and archived are enough categories to organize my notes.
