About Google Tasks
Google Tasks is a task list from Google for adding, organizing and tracking to-dos. It works inside Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Chat and Google Docs, and it is also available as a standalone web app at tasks.google.com. Tasks and task lists sync across devices when you sign in with the same Google account. The directory lists it as free with a Google account.
Tasks with a date and time appear automatically in Google Calendar and can trigger reminders. Assigning tasks to others in Google Docs is a premium feature, available only in some Google Workspace Business and Enterprise editions. Notifications require both a date and a time to be set on a task.
