If you want to export your Keep notes (and almost all of the metadata and media) into Markdown format, I helped write this tool to accomplish just that:
https://github.com/ndbeals/keep-exporter/
It uses gkeepapi (https://github.com/kiwiz/gkeepapi), and downloads the text content of the notes and the majority of media (some of the annotation stuff doesn't work quite right).
So assuming another app supports markdown import, this would work.

Obsidian really is a great choice if you are looking for Markdown. Windows, Linux, Mac, Android/iOS mobile apps soon. It's polished, fast, and all around a great experience. Flexible inter-note linking (wiki style), visualization, backlink discovery, handles images and embedded documents well. All around a good product.
I'm still looking for something with a cross-platform GUI that I like as much as I liked Obsidian.md - but with the same sort of arbitrarily nested hierarchy and ability to adhoc rearrange my notes like org-mode provides. The Emacs/org-mode level of customization would be nice, too.
Trilium Notes ( https://github.com/zadam/trilium ) was also a good contendor, but not having a text-content-first focus made for some frustrating experiences of data corruption, and testing data export of my initial trial run was messy as a consequence as well.
And on the Android side, Orgzly http://www.orgzly.com/
I'm finding that syncing between Emacs/org-mode and my phone has been nothing but problems, though. Sync conflicts abound. I'm not sure how much of that is my Emacs config, Syncthing on Android, or Orgzly.
Any ideas on avoiding that? How are you syncing with Beorg?
There's a Git plugin for Obsidian: https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git
It's not quite out of the box, but installing community plugins is very easy through the settings UI.
