The one thing most people constantly have with them (wherever they are) is their smartphone. And it is only logical that we use it take notes, photos and other important stuff that we might need later on. If you already use an app like Evernote for storing all of your important information (notes, tasks, photos etc), check out Google Keep.

It is a similar app by Google that lets you capture anything important to you wherever you are. You can use it to take simple notes, create checklists, enter a voice note or snap a photo and annotate it. Everything you add using the app is instantly synced and available on all your devices - tablet, laptop, smartphone.

The app is pretty intuitive and easy to use. For example you can archive notes you no longer need by swiping through them. Color-code notes to easily categorize them and find them later or have your voice notes transcribed automatically after being recorded.

All of the notes are synced to the cloud so you can access and manage all your notes from the web (if you prefer a larger screen) at http://drive.google.com/keep. It is free and available for Android devices running Android 4.03 or later.
