Google Keep App for Apple Watch No Longer Available

Just as Google Calendar makes it debut on the Apple Watch, the Google Keep app for Apple Watch has been discontinued.

Google Keep is a free note-taking service offered by Google. Version 2.2025.26200 of Google Keep removes the watchOS app, with no other noticeable changes to the app on the iPhone or iPad. Google Keep for Wear OS continues to be available.

Google Keep for Apple Watch had not been updated meaningfully for many years, with no support for many basic platform features such as complications. Meanwhile, with watchOS 26, Apple is bringing its own native Notes app to the Apple Watch for the first time.

Google seems to cancel things after awhile. Hopefully, they will not eventually get rid of gmail :).

Until now, I was unaware that "Google Keep" even existed.

Literal 15 year olds are able to maintain an app across multiple ecosystems but Google had to set themselves a 3 app limit for Apple Watch.
