It's a fair bit of work to set up, but I replaced Keep with Obsidian.
I suppose you could just pay for obsidian sync and then basically have parity. I do not. I use syncthing to sync my notebooks (vaults in obsidian terms) between my devices.
To get my existing notes, I used Google Takeout to get a copy of all my data, but you can just ask for the Keep data. They'll send you a bunch of json files, which I was able to extract the text of my notes from pretty easily and copy into Obsidian notes.
It's scary how well syncthing and obsidian play together.
