Tag and group
Give a document as many tags as you like and drop it into collections such as Work, Study or Recipes.
Find it in seconds
Press Ctrl+K and type. Searches titles, tags, your notes and the actual text inside your documents.
Edit in Google
The genuine Google Docs and Sheets editor opens right inside the page, so nothing about editing changes.
Link them together
Connect related documents and DocsKeeper shows the backlinks automatically, like a personal wiki.
Start from a template
Meeting notes, budgets, habit trackers and more — created as properly formatted Google files.
Or jot a quick note
Under 5,000 characters? Skip Google entirely. Quick notes save here the moment you type them.
Private by design
We never store your name, email or Google ID, and everything we do store is encrypted.
You will be asked only for the drive.file permission, the narrowest one Google offers. DocsKeeper can only ever see documents it creates for you or that you pick yourself.
What DocsKeeper does
How it works, how to use it, keyboard shortcuts
Google Drive is very good at storing documents and not nearly as good at reminding you they exist. DocsKeeper is a free organiser that sits on top of your own Google Drive and adds the layer Drive leaves out: tags, collections, private notes, links between related documents, and a search box that looks inside your documents rather than just at their names.
Nothing is copied away from Google. When you open a document here, the real Google Docs or Google Sheets editor loads inside the page, so every keystroke saves to Google exactly as it always did. Google stays the single source of truth; DocsKeeper only remembers how you like things organised.
How to use it
- Connect your Google account. You are asked only for the
drive.filepermission — the narrowest one Google offers. DocsKeeper can only see documents it creates for you, or ones you personally choose in Google’s own picker. - Add documents. Hit New to create a Doc or Sheet from a template, or Add existing to pick files already in your Drive.
- Or write a quick note. For anything under 5,000 characters, a quick note skips Google entirely — press n and start typing. It saves as you go, is encrypted on our server, and can be tagged, filed and searched just like a document. Its first line becomes its title, and any web address you paste in becomes an underlined, clickable link. Use the Write / Preview switch at the top of the editor (or Ctrl+E) to flip between typing and the formatted result — that is how you see markdown rendered and code highlighted.
- Organise them. Open a document and add tags, choose a collection, and jot private notes in the side panel. Link related documents together and the backlinks appear on their own.
- Find anything. Press Ctrl+K (⌘+K on a Mac) and start typing. You can also use
tag:work,type:sheet,in:Studiesandis:pinnedto narrow things down.
Is it really free?
Yes. No signup, no subscription, no trial, no limits. FreeWWW does not create an account for you and never asks for payment details. You sign in with your own Google account purely so the app is allowed to open your documents.
