For years, Google’s to-do list app Tasks was poorly integrated and underdeveloped. Recently, Google has combined all their reminder products into a single Google Tasks app that is accessible across Google products. While still lacking some advanced features, Google Tasks’ simplicity and integration make it easy to add tasks and see reminders across Gmail, Calendar and Assistant. The author enjoys being able to say “What are my tasks today?” to Assistant and have tasks show up in Calendar. However, the author notes that Tasks still does not integrate well with multiple Google accounts.
Google Tasks is effectively unavoidable if you use Google products.
I had no idea it existed…
… aaannnnddd… It’s canceled.
I’m not picking up any new Google products, they kill everything off so often.
So, they should be sunsetting it sometime next year then.
Was just about to say the same. Google often like to pick up their ball and go home after releasing something good. Maybe it’s time we stop relying on cloud apps and go back to good ol’ fashioned locally run applications.
Guess it’s about time for Google to kill the project, then.
I use it because I haven't yet found any alternative that works as well. Any recommendations?
Notion isn’t great for tasks but the all in one ecosystem for notes and databases is amazing
If you like Notion, you should check out Coda.
How is it different?
