Google is extending the cooperation of its desktop and mobile platform further with new features. This time around, you can write notes and set alarms on Chrome browser on desktop and send these to your to your Android smartphone. You simply need to type “note to self” or “send a note” and you’ll get a Google Now kind of card where you have to input the note and select the device you want to send it to. You’ll get a push notification and your phone and you just need to select whether to copy or save the note. For alarms, you can type “set an alarm” or type in something more specific like “set an alarm for 10:00.” There won’t be a notification this time but you’ll see a toast message and an alarm icon on your status bar.

According to Android Police though, it would seem the feature is currently US-only. A workaround is to add &gl=us to your search URL and the cards should be there.
