Keep It is a notebook, scrapbook and organizer, ideal for writing notes, keeping web links, storing documents, images or any kind of file, and finding them again. Available on Mac, and as a separate app for iPhone and iPad, Keep It is the destination for all those things you want to put somewhere, confident you will find them again later.
Keep It is the successor to Together, can import Together libraries, and all Together 3 users can get a discount to upgrade to Keep It. See Information for Together Users below.
Create notes with built-in styles that look good and read well on all your devices. Notes can contain checklists, bulleted and numbered lists, links, dividers, images and other attachments.
Save web links to Keep It, view them in the app, open them in your browser, or save them as PDFs or web archives for offline reading.
Any kind of file can be added to Keep It directly, saved to one of its folders in the Finder, or created from stationery, and opened for editing in other applications. Any item can be encrypted with a password.
Keep It can edit its own notes, rich text, plain text and Markdown files, add highlights and notes to PDFs, and show previews for images, web pages and most other documents.
Keep It can store everything in iCloud and make it available across all your Macs, and your iPad and iPhone too, with Keep It for iPad and iPhone.
Keep it can share top-level folders and individual items with other Keep It users via iCloud. Participants will see all changes automatically.
Folders let you organize items and bundles hierarchically, when needed. Select a folder to see everything it contains, double-click to focus the sidebar on that folder.
When you need to gather things into one place, make a bundle. Items can be in more than one bundle at a time, and when you remove the bundle, everything else stays where it was.
Use labels to color-code items for quick visual recognition. Labels are listed in the sidebar so you can quickly see everything with a particular label.
Use the Recents list to see things you’ve added or viewed lately, with the latest shown at the top. Favorites provide quick access. Deleted Items are automatically removed after 30 days.
Keep It can search the content of most files, and can recognize text in scanned PDFs and images. While searching, suggestions appear as you type, allowing you to narrow down results to exactly what you need. Save searches for later reuse.
Keep It’s Tag Filter makes finding things by tags easy, and works with search and the selected list. Choose a tag to see all the tagged items and any other relevant tags; choose another tag to drill down further.
Keep It stores everything you add as files, folders and tags in the Finder that mirror what you see in the app, rather than stuff everything into a database. You can even save new files to these folders to automatically add them.
This approach lets Keep It work with the system and all your existing apps: files can be searched with Spotlight, backed up with Time Machine, and opened in any suitable app for editing. Tasks in Keep It can be automated with AppleScript and Automator actions.
In Compact Mode, Keep It for Mac becomes a single column, ideal for using alongside other apps or in split screen.
Pretty much anything can be dragged to Keep It, and you can also add things from a variety of apps with Keep It’s share extension.
Keep It is the successor to Together, and will import your Together libraries. While many things will be familiar, Keep It offers some great new ideas and improvements, including:

We’ve all been there — you’re in your refrigerator looking for something to eat, and come across food you forgot you even purchased. The food is a little past its expiration date, but appears free of mold and rancid smells. Unfortunately, looks and smells can be deceiving. There are some foods you should never eat past the expiration date, like fresh meat, seafood, produce, eggs, and dairy.
Typically, the more refined and processed a food item is, the longer its shelf life. Fresh and minimally processed foods do not have this luxury, and must be eaten by their expiration dates to pose less of a health risk to consumers. That means the week-old pint of blueberries sitting in the back of your fridge has got to go.
That being said, it can be tricky deciphering food labels. “Sell by” or “best by” dates refer to the quality of the product, and not food safety. In fact, sell by dates and expiration dates are not regulated nor required by the Food and Drug Administration, with the exception of infant formula.
Regardless of the date, it’s important to properly store and handle perishable foods. Items left out for more than two hours at room temperature can become hazardous to eat, even if the expiration date is days away. Refrigeration can stop bacteria growth, and freezing food can stop bacteria from growing all together, so make sure you are storing your food properly.
When it comes to food safety, it's always best to play it safe — because food poisoning is not sexy. Here are seven specific food items you should never eat past the expiration date.
So, about listeria. Listeria is a bacteria that thrives in soil, water, and in some animals. It can also be found at food processing plants, where deli meat and other processed meats, like hot dogs, get cooked and packaged. Unlike other bacterias, listeria can multiply in cold environments (i.e. your fridge). It's best to toss opened deli meat after three to five days in the fridge. If you haven't opened it, throw it away after two-weeks.
We all know what a rotten egg smells like, but how can you tell with an un-cracked egg? Easy! See if it floats in a bowl of cold water. Fresh eggs will sink to the bottom, while rotten eggs will float on top. As an egg ages, fluid evaporates through the porous shell, while air and gasses penetrate in. As a rule of thumb, keep eggs no longer than five weeks after purchasing.
Picture this — you know you have a carton of strawberries in the back of the fridge just waiting to be devoured. Unfortunately, microscopic mold spores have taken a bite first, and have turned your berries into fuzz and mush. To delay the growth of mold, wash berries right before you consume them. Otherwise, fresh berries can be consumed up to three days in the refrigerator.
Prepackaged salad mixes may be a convenient way to eat your greens, but they can harbor dangerous bacteria from process and handling contamination. Obviously, severely wilted and slimy greens are a no go, but unopened lettuce can only last three to five days past its sell-by date.
Fresh fish and shellfish should be eaten within two days of purchase, and kept in the refrigerator. If you plan on eating the seafood past those days, wrap it tightly, and store it in the freezer for up to six months, depending on its fat content. Oily fish, such as salmon and tuna, can turn rancid if not stored properly.
Beware of the pink slime. Foul smells and a slimy appearance are key indicators that your ground meat has gone bad. Raw ground meat, including poultry, can be refrigerated for up to two days, per the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Roasts, steaks, and chops can be kept in the refrigerator for up to five days. Frozen meat can be stored up to four months.
The shelf life of cheese depends on a number of factors, including the type of cheese, the processing method, and its exposure to heat. Hard and semi-hard cheeses like Parmesan and cheddar will last longer than semi-soft and soft cheeses such as Monterey Jack and Brie. Stored in the refrigerator, opened hard cheese varieties will last between three and six weeks, while opened soft cheese varieties will last for a week.
