Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 48 of the 123 other to-do list apps we grade
GQueues is a task manager for people and teams who work in Google's apps. You sign in with a Google Account, organize tasks in lists called queues, and sync them both ways with Google Calendar, with add-ons for Gmail, Drive and Chrome. A free Lite plan covers core task management, and the paid plans add the Google integrations, mobile apps and team features. It has been part of Baydin, the maker of Boomerang, since 2024.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about GQueues, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You need a Google Account to sign in at all, there's no desktop app, and the public API is still in beta.
- 1
Best for to-do lists that live inside Google's apps
GQueues is a task manager built around Google: tasks sync both ways with Google Calendar, emails become tasks, and Drive files attach.
- 2
Paid plans start at $3 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $3 per month, billed annually (GQueues for YOU).
- 3
There is a free plan
GQueues Lite: core task management with Google login. It is free and never expires, but leaves out the Google integrations, reminders, search and mobile apps.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Queues, subtasks and Smart Queues
Tasks sit in lists called queues with unlimited subtasks, tags, notes, repeats and snoozing. Smart Queues filter for tasks that meet criteria you set.
- 6
Two-way Google Calendar sync
Changes made to tasks in Google Calendar or in GQueues update in both places in real time, and projects can sync to separate calendars you switch on and off.
- 7
Gmail, Drive and Chrome capture
A Google Workspace add-on turns emails into tasks, Drive files attach with permissions handled for collaborators, and a Chrome extension captures tasks as you browse.
- 8
A 2.6 GPA, above 48 of 123
That is against the other to-do list apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
The plain part of GQueues you could make: tasks, kanban boards, calendar and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

The report card
Best for to-do lists that live inside Google's apps
GQueues is a task manager built around Google: tasks sync both ways with Google Calendar, emails become tasks, and Drive files attach. But the free Lite plan leaves out the Google integrations, reminders, search and both phone apps, so those cost $3 a month billed yearly. You need a Google Account to sign in at all, there's no desktop app, and the public API is still in beta.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $3 a month billed yearly for YOU, $4 a user for BUSINESS. Paid to-do plans in this category run from $2.42 to $5.00 a month, so both sit in the middle of the pack, and the Google integrations you came for are all on the paid side. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Lite is free and never expires, but it leaves out the Google integrations, reminders, search and both phone apps, which are the reasons to pick GQueues. The 14-day BUSINESS trial needs no card at least. |
| Features | B | It covers the category's job: queues with unlimited subtasks, tags, repeats and snoozing, Smart Queues that filter for you, list or board views, sharing, assignments, comments and two-way Google Calendar sync. |
| Ease of use | B | 4.72 from 522 App Store ratings, and you sign in with the Google Account you already have, so there's no new password to invent. The top grade wants that score from a thousand people, and 522 isn't a thousand. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone, Android, a Chrome extension and add-ons for Gmail and Drive. But there's no desktop app on record, and the help centre says the public API is still in beta. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who GQueues is for
- Fits if your tasks need to sit on Google Calendar and stay in step both ways
- Works for small Google Workspace teams who want shared queues and assigned tasks
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you don't have a Google Account, because that's the only way to sign in
- Tight if you're staying free, as Lite has no Google integrations, reminders, search or phone apps
- Not for you if you want a desktop app, since on a computer it runs in the browser
- Watch out: there's no public API yet; the help center says one is in beta and points to an MCP server instead
- Pricey if you pay monthly: $3.75 for YOU and $5 a user for BUSINESS, against $3 and $4 billed yearly
Good to know
Good for
- Individuals and small teams already working in Google Workspace
- People who plan their tasks on Google Calendar
- Turning Gmail messages into tracked, assigned tasks
Worth knowing
- A Google Account is required to sign in, and the vendor recommends a Gmail or Google Workspace address for full features.
- The free Lite plan covers core task management only. Google integrations, reminders, search and the mobile apps start with GQueues for YOU.
- No desktop app is listed. It runs in a browser, with Android and iOS apps and a Chrome extension.
- There is no public API yet; the help center says one is in beta testing and points to the MCP server instead.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of GQueues you could make: tasks, kanban boards, calendar and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $36 a year.
What you could make
- Tasks, kanban boards, calendar and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Gmail and Google Drive among them.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. GQueues’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
