Google Tasks: Get Things Done
authentic ratingGoogle Tasks is the simplest task list tied to Google Calendar: a task appears in the day grid as an event. For people already living in the Google ecosystem there is no reason to look elsewhere. Fundamental limitations: no task search, no badge on the app icon, and no way to share a list with another user. For minimal personal GTD it is enough.

About the rating

Strengths
What users love
- Tasks appear directly in the Google Calendar grid alongside meetings. Fast entry with no account registration. Subtasks with a flat structure. Instant sync across all Google devices.
Weak spots
What users hate
- No task search: with a large base everything gets lost. The icon badge does not update. Keep reminders moved to Tasks but do not fire without the app open. A recurring task does not automatically create the next instance after being checked off. Cannot assign a task to another user or share a list.
Who it is for
Gmail and Google Calendar users who need one connected to-do list without additional apps. Not for team use or large task bases.
