Who each one suits

Google Tasks

  • People who already work in Gmail and Google Calendar
  • Anyone who wants a basic to-do list at no cost
  • Google Workspace teams assigning tasks from Chat spaces and Docs

Tasks.org

  • Android users who want a task list that works with no account
  • People syncing tasks with their own CalDAV server or EteSync
  • Google Tasks or Microsoft To Do users who want a fuller Android client

Worth knowing

Google Tasks

  • Assigning tasks from Google Docs is marked as a premium feature for some Workspace Business and Enterprise plans.
  • Shared tasks cannot have subtasks and cannot repeat.
  • No desktop app is listed: Google offers Tasks in the browser and as Android and iOS apps.
  • On work or school accounts, an administrator controls whether Tasks is available.

Tasks.org

  • There is no iPhone or web app. Apple devices reach Tasks.org lists through Apple Reminders over CalDAV.
  • The desktop apps are labeled alpha and need a subscription, and the maker says matching the Android app's features will take a while.
  • Tasks.org Cloud sync needs the $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year subscription; the name-your-price tier does not include it.
  • On Google Play installs, custom themes and icons and sync through DAVx⁵, CalDAV or EteSync all need a subscription.

Key features

Google Tasks

Tasks on Google Calendar
A task with a date and time appears on Google Calendar and triggers a reminder. A duration can be added and the time marked as busy.
Tasks from Gmail
An email can be turned into a task without leaving Gmail, and the task links back to the original message.
Lists, subtasks and stars
Separate lists hold different projects or topics. Larger tasks break down into subtasks, tasks reorder by drag and drop, and stars mark the important ones.
Repeating tasks and nudges
Tasks can repeat daily, weekly, monthly or annually. Nudges keep surfacing a reminder until the task is completed.
Shared tasks in Chat and Docs
Tasks can be assigned to teammates in a Google Chat space. Assigning from a Google Doc needs a work or school account on an eligible Workspace plan.
Gemini and the Tasks API
The Gemini app can add, edit and show tasks on request. Developers can read and update tasks through a REST API or automate them with Apps Script.

Tasks.org

Offline lists with deep subtasks
Tasks, lists, tags and reminders are unlimited and need no account or internet connection. Filters, manual sorting and subtasks nested to any depth are included.
Recurring tasks and location reminders
Tasks can repeat and send notifications, and reminders can be tied to a location. Both are part of the free Android app.
Sync with services you already use
Google Tasks and Microsoft To Do connect for free. Sync through DAVx⁵, a CalDAV server, EteSync or DecSync CC needs an in-app subscription.
Tasks.org Cloud
The maker's CalDAV-based sync service adds list sharing with up to five guests, an email-to-task inbox and app passwords for clients such as Apple Reminders.
Desktop apps in alpha
Early-access apps for macOS, Windows and Linux sync with Tasks.org Cloud, Google Tasks, CalDAV and EteSync. One subscription unlocks both Android and desktop.
Open source without ads
The Android and desktop apps are licensed under the GNU GPLv3 and show no ads. Installs from F-Droid unlock in-app features without a subscription.
