Rainmeter-GKeep

Rainmeter-GKeep is a Rainmeter meter which, alongside a note-taking skin of your choosing, allows to display and update a Google Keep note directly from your desktop

Prerequisites

• Python ≥3.9
• Gkeepapi
• Keyring

pip install gkeepapi
pip install keyring

Installation

1. Either clone the repository or download it as ZIP
2. Copy the Skins\Keep folder to your Rainmeter Skin installation folder, usually C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins
3. Modify the Keep\@Resources\Settings.inc file:
   • USER_EMAIL: Your e-mail (example@gmail.com)
   • APP_PASSWORD: If you have enabled 2-factor-authentication for your Google account you'll need to create an App Password, otherwise you can use your normal password
   • NOTE_ID: The ID of the note you want displayed, it is the last part of the URL when viewed in a web browser (https://keep.google.com/u/0/#NOTE/COPY_THIS_PART)
4. From the "Manage Rainmeter" screen, double-click Keep.ini and try it out. If it's working properly, a black window with your note's contents should appear
5. To use rainmeter-skeep with another note-taking skin, set OUTPUT_FILE to the relative path to your skin's note file.
   For example, for the Paper::Notes by Haitime skin you'd set it to ../Paper/Notes/Note 1/my.notes
6. To disable the ugly default black window, set HIDE_OUTPUT_VIEWER to 1
