Simple task lists built into Gmail, Calendar and Android
Google Tasks is a free, minimal task manager tied to your Google account. Tasks can be created from Gmail messages, appear on their dates in Google Calendar and sync to the mobile apps, with support for subtasks, due dates and repeating tasks. It suits people who want basic lists inside Google Workspace rather than a full productivity system.
