Google Task

Get started with Google Task

View Tasks on a web browser:

Open Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, or Slides and on the right, click Tasks

Google Tasks lets you create a to-do list within Gmail or the Google Tasks app.

When you add a task, you can integrate it into your Gmail calendar, and add details or subtasks. Gmail has offered a Tasks tool for years, but with the new Google design, Tasks is sleeker and easier to use.
