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.
I use it because I haven’t yet found any alternative that works as well. Any recommendations?
Any features you think google tasks lacks? Do you use the free or the paid version of todoist?
I use the free version of Todoist. I don’t know what features google tasks all as now, but the big reason I switched from Tasks to Todoist was
- Being able to share lists - Super helpful for things like shopping lists
- Integration with things like Alexa - Going through the pantry and adding things to the shopping list with just my voice, or being able to add something to the shopping list just by saying it when it runs out is kind of like magic.
- Easy natural language recurring tasks
Notion isn’t great for tasks but the all in one ecosystem for notes and databases is amazing
