Google Tasks is a popular tool for managing to-dos. From work tasks to school projects to chores at home, you can easily track everything on your plate. So having a simple way to access Google Tasks is essential for keeping up.

Here we’ll show you all the ways you can access Google Tasks. Whether in a browser, on your desktop, or from your mobile device, your list of to-dos will never be far away.

Google Tasks on the Web

Google has a great way of connecting the apps they offer. This lets you see your Google Tasks while emailing in Gmail or checking events on Google Calendar.

1. Google Tasks in Gmail and Google Calendar

Head over to Gmail or your Google Calendar online and sign in. On the right side, you’ll see a Google Tasks button that opens the sidebar.

Use the dropdown menu at the top to switch between lists or create a new one. You can also change the order of your lists within that dropdown. Select one and then drag it where you’d like it on the list.

For a new to-do, click Add a Task and then hit the Pencil icon to enter notes, include a due date and time, add subtasks, or rename the task. You can also create a repeating task by selecting Add date/time and then clicking Repeat. This lets you have the task recur daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly.

To delete a task, click the Pencil icon for it and then the Trash Can icon to remove it.

With the More button (three dots) at the top, you can sort tasks, rename or delete a list, or check out handy keyboard shortcuts. Click the X on the top right of the sidebar to close Google Tasks and return to your work in Gmail or Google Calendar.

Tip: You can put your Google Tasks right onto your Google Calendar! Check the box for Tasks under My calendars in the left-hand sidebar. Take a look at more tips like this for using Google Calendar and Google Tasks together.

With gTasks, you can quickly access and sync your lists and to-dos with Google Tasks. You have filters to spot tasks for today, tomorrow, or the upcoming week. With a click, you can also see those with no due dates or every task you have.

Your lists are along the left side and once you pick one, you can sort the to-dos within it manually, by date or priority, or by title using the dropdown at the top.

When you create a new task, you can choose the priority, add a due date, set an alert, include a note, pick the list, and add a subtask. You can also edit existing tasks with these details.

Connect another account and switch between them easily, view your completed tasks, use the search to find something in particular, or print a list to post for others in your home or office.
