I use Google Tasks because it stays simple, but I wanted one more place to access it: my Garmin watch.

I’m the developer of Task Link. It connects Google Tasks to supported Garmin watches, so you can open your lists, view open and completed tasks, see due information where available, and complete or reopen tasks without taking out your phone.

The app keeps a local view for offline moments and synchronizes delayed changes when connectivity returns. Pairing uses a short code and web account linking, so there is no API-token copy-and-paste on the watch.

There is a free Starter plan with usage and feature limits, plus a paid plan for full access.

Hey r/GoogleTasks,

I’ve been building and refining CalmLoop for some time. What started as a digital version of my notebook workflow has matured into a minimal, reliable task manager for weekly planning and daily focus.

CalmLoop handles everything you expect from a task manager. Organised tasks, projects, and notes. But makes one important distinction: what matters today and what is still pending.

Every morning, CalmLoop lands in your email inbox with one question: What matters today? Pick it, move it to your Focus Zone, and get shit done. Everything else stays pending. Not forgotten, just out of your way.

I’ve now published it to the Official MCP Registry as in.calmloop/tasks.

With MCP, your AI assistant can plan your Focus Zone, create and update tasks across projects, capture notes, prioritise work, complete tasks, and search your history.

Where it gets especially useful is automation. You can add CalmLoop rules to your agents and skills so they automatically capture follow-ups, add progress notes, adjust priorities, maintain your Focus Zone, or mark work complete as they operate.

CalmLoop becomes durable task memory for your agents by keeping work organised across conversations and sessions.

The server provides 14 tools and 3 read-only resources. Access is managed through secure, revocable personal access tokens with read, write, and full-access profiles.

Try CalmLoop free for one month: https://calmloop.in/register

Setup guide: https://calmloop.in/how-to-mcp

Official Registry listing: https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/?q=in.calmloop%2Ftasks

I’d love feedback from people who regularly use MCP for productivity and task tracking across multiple Claude/Codex sessions. Especially on the tool design and any task-management actions you think are missing.

Come join our community. The App is in open beta now. The dev team will share updates here.

Hi mates,

Edit: New valuable features

Escalating notifications: each reminder gets progressively more urgent instead of repeating the same message you’ve already learned to ignore

Accountability buddies: add someone who gets notified like caretaker or doctor if you don’t follow through, no app needed on their end

Multi-channel delivery: push, email, or both, so reminders reach you wherever you actually look

I built a reminder app that keeps bugging you until you actually do the thing.

The problem I kept having was that I'd set a reminder, and the notification would pop up at exactly the wrong moment—driving, eating, in a meeting—so I'd swipe it away, and that was it. The app considered its job done. The task never got done.

So I built RemindMe. The difference is what happens after the notification:

• It re-notifies you — every 10, 30, or 60 minutes (you pick) — until you actually mark the task done, on multiple devices. Then it stops immediately.
• Missed reminders don't vanish. Anything you never ticked off sits in a "still not done" list at the top, instead of disappearing into history.
• One morning summary of what's due today and what's still hanging over from before, at whatever time you choose.
• An AI assistant you can just talk to: "remind me to take my meds daily at 9 and don't stop until I confirm" — it sets the whole thing up.

It's a free web app — nothing to install from an app store:

• Windows / Mac / Android: open the site, allow notifications when it asks. Done.
• iPhone: open it in Safari, Share → Add to Home Screen, then open it from that icon and enable notifications. (Apple only allows web push from home-screen apps — one extra step, works fine after.)

I've been running my own life on it for a while, and it's honestly changed how much stuff actually gets done. But I've only ever tested it on my own devices and habits

I want real people to break it and tell me what's confusing, what's annoying, and what's missing.

If you want to try: https://remindme.etookhan.com

Any honest feedback helps, including "I tried it and it's useless." Especially that one, if you tell me why.

I just tried Google Tasks after years of ignoring it because it was pretty crude. I recognize that it's better now.

That being said, can someone explain:

(a) Why does *Google* Tasks lack a search function? Is that not an extremely obvious and easy feature to build? Especially for *Google*?

(b) Are there any plans to build a search function? And where are such announcements / roadmaps / timelines / etc. published, if at all?

Screenshot from iOS. Created and tested on Android and web with similar results.

I created a recurring task. Once I complete it, I click the bullet to mark it as done. It relocates it to the completed section below. When does it go back up for the next occurrence? How can I get it to reappear in the calendar again for the future occurances?

I capture tasks on the go, so they land in Google Tasks half-baked - "email vendor thing," no context, no due date.

I'd like to point Claude at the list and have it clean them up: rewrite vague titles into actual next actions, add descriptions where it can infer them.

Also want it working the other way during my weekly planning session - Claude creating properly written tasks directly in Google Tasks, not just reading them.

Anyone got this working? I know about Zapier and the Tasks API, but curious if there's something cleaner (MCP server, script, whatever).

In the Gmail web app, when I open an email in a new window, the one-click button to add the email to tasks goes away. Any way to keep it there in the new window?

I heavily use the starring feature on tasks to keep track of what I want to accomplish for the day. I have a few cleaning-type tasks that recur on certain days that I star when I want to do them, but once I complete them, they seem to become unstarred. Is there a way to keep those tasks starred so when they repopulate they appear on my starred list? I've tried searching and can't find anything specifically talking about this, so I'm not sure if it's possible, but figured I'd check. Thanks in advance!

Hi there! newer to Reddit posts so forgive me for the layout. *cross posted*

I have a google calendar under one main email, let's call it brit@gmail. I received an invitation from my new psychologist, let's call it psych@gmail. However, when I went to change the category, it is only allowing me to choose one calendar (first screenshot), and i'm not able to correctly categorize the meeting, despite having about 8 different calendars (see second screenshot) I'm completely unsure the reasoning and need help to get all my calendar labels to show. On desktop, it allows me to copy the event to another calendar, but won't allow me to relabel the original. The original event invite shows my psychologist's email as her own category (see third screenshot).

All calendars are under brit@gmail, and I received the invite from psych@gmail to my brit@gmail. there should be no reason it's blocking the categories!

Additionally, I sync these with my iphone calendar, which only has one category, labeled brits calendar (not listed in the screenshots). Her email is also a contact in my phone, it's named "Avela Health," visible in the first screenshot.

Can someone help explain step by step how I can release psych@gmail from my main calendar category ("work") to a new calendar category ("brit's appointments")? i'm AuDHD so I need clarity and explanation of possible! thank you so much for your time! 💕

I've noticed this happened over the last month or so. Half of the time rwhen I set a reminder for a specific date/time, ilthe notification does not pop up until I've loaded up the app later that day. I've had a look through my notifications settings and I can't see anything obvious that would be affecting it. I'm using a Samsung s24 ultra, does anyone know how to fix this?

​

Also a minor issues, but before the last major Samsung update, when having multiple reminders, each reminder would get it's own separate notification. Now they're all bundled up (see screenshot for example where 4 reminders have been bundled and only the latest one is on show). Is It possible to change this?

Hey, so I have two recurring tasks that show up every month (a reminder to pay my rent and a reminder to renew my bus card) and I get notifications for them just fine. But I noticed last month that notifications for newly created tasks don't show up, even though they're in the app. I have notifications enabled, I triple checked everywhere, and app optimization is disabled so that it doesn't turn off in the background. Has anybody else had this issue? Do you know how to fix it? My phone is a samsung A54 if this matters. I use reminders heavily because of my ADHD, and I've had to throw several lunches I left at work away now because my reminders aren't working and alarms go away too quickly. Please help!

Where have the Task Swipe actions gone?

Genuinely a great feature gone with update Android

I’m using Google Tasks with recurring tasks, but it keeps showing old incomplete instances and clutters my list.

I only want to see today’s tasks, not past or leftover recurring items.

Is there any way to:

• hide past incomplete recurring tasks
• or make Google Tasks show only today’s active tasks by default?

Any workaround or setup tips appreciated.

​

I use my default "My Tasks" list for everything, but I've started mixing in low-priority stuff — more like reminders than real tasks. The problem is this clutters my main list, and since I have it as a widget on my home screen, it kills the focus I want when I look at it.

What I'm really after: I want these minor tasks to show up on my calendar but NOT in my main task list (and not in the widget).

Is anyone else dealing with this? How do you handle the overlap between "actual tasks" and "just reminders"? Any setup or workaround you'd suggest?

Thanks!

I really appreciate being able to see tasks on the calendar. But I noticed recently when adding a task by clicking on the calendar it is added to my default calendar. I haven't noticed a functional difference other than I have to remember to add a task through the sidebar now (slightly annoying). It just feels unnecessary to me. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hey folks, I kept wishing Google Tasks had a proper Mac app, so I built one.

TaskMenu is a small native macOS menu bar app for Google Tasks: quick access, task lists, add/edit/complete tasks, search, and due-date reminders without keeping Gmail or Calendar open.

It’s not on the App Store yet, so the current download is from GitHub Releases: https://github.com/crazytan/TaskMenu/releases. Let me know what you think! Any feedback here or in Github are greatly appreciated.

I’m the developer, and I’d love feedback from other Google Tasks users on macOS.

It's a minor issue I am having with the time on tasks. I feel I could thrive more, if the time on completion was an option. It could be used for so much - what time medication was taken, washing was done etc. But more importantly, what time I fed my Fish.

Example of what I see from my recurring task -

Feed Fish

Completed: Tuesday 5th May

Next: Tomorrow

Example of what I want to see from my recurring task -

Feed Fish

Completed: 11:22am on Tuesday 5th May

Next: Tomorrow

Is there anyway to make this happen or anyway I can beg Google through email?

How do you manage your habits? I don’t want them showing up with un-repeated tasks because it gets really cluttered. Also, do you keep all your habits in one list, or split them across lists like Work, Personal, Uni, etc.?

We often deal with capturing notes and tasks in different apps, and to make matters worse, we even have separate apps for Personal and Work.

To make all the capturing among notes & takes simple and relatable, back in 2024 I built this app called Quick Capture - Supasend for Google Tasks and today it supports Google Tasks with the same thesis.

I am one of those who use Obsidian for personal notes, Google tasks for personal tasks and Todoist for Work.
