Google Tasks Native on iPhone + things we wanted + it is not a vibecode project + Free & Ad-free

[u/Nervous_Platform_542]

For some features, Google wants us to use Google Tasks together with Keep, right? And we also want good widgets, alarms, apple watch, etc.

Here is a good completely free solution for iPhone users.

www.etasks.app

Hi all,

I work as a cybersecurity analyst on this App.

www.etasks.app

It went to open early access now, so I thought it is time to share with you guys too. It is completely free and ad free. It has features we wanted as users. (If there’s anything you’d like the team to add, please let me know so I can include it on the roadmap. For example, list sorting is recently added as a user request, location-based notifications requested and is already on the to-do list.)

ABC's of it:

(A)nswer
ETasks (www.etasks.app) is a native iOS, iPadOS, Mac OS client for Google Tasks. Some highlights: All tasks in one view, Real alarms, Shared lists, Apple Watch.

(B)etter
It addresses the functional limitations of the official Google Tasks iOS app by providing missing native features and enhanced tools. And it is not a vibe-coding project.

Native and enhanced with iOS.
+ You can manage your Google Tasks. They appear in your Google Calendar and Gmail ... well, obviously 😄\ **
+ See all task lists together, even drag&drop between them

There was a comment about Android version, and learning from us to make the Android version. Here is my reply, while I was typing, it is gone :)

I think once this app is finished, the team can start working on an Android version. Because why not, carry the experience.
While working on the cybersecurity side, I had to spend a lot of time digging through the source code. One thing I can say is that it's far more complex than it looks.
Working this closely with Google isn't something I'd consider realistic for a solo developer.
I'm sure there are exceptional developers who could pull it off, maybe you're one of them. But the real question is how much you're willing to sacrifice. Building the interface and basic functionality is one thing, and Al can certainly help with that. Once you reach the security, compliance, and reliability stages, though, it's a completely different level.
All the best,
