Google Tasks
Google Tasks is a basic task list service provided by Google. Google Tasks can be accessed from GMail, Google Calendar, or a variety of third party clients.
Google Tasks support is available without a subscription. To get started tap

Google Tasks does not support all of Tasks.org's features so it important to understand the limitations.

Privacy and security
Tasks.org synchronizes directly with Google Tasks' servers, and I never have access to your Google Tasks data.
Tasks.org will be flagged in your Google Security Checkup because I am an unverified developer. It costs $15,000-75,000 USD to get verified, which is cost prohibitive.
Recurrence, reminders, and due times
Recurrence, reminders, and due times were added to the Google Tasks service in early 2019. Unfortunately the third-party Google Tasks API did not receive a similar update, so this data is not available to third-party clients like Tasks.org.
Additional features
- Re-order tasks and create subtasks using manual sort mode
- Create, rename, and delete Google Task lists
- Move tasks between Google Task lists
Grant OAuth 2.0 access
Tasks.org requires permission to use the Google Task web API with your account. If you no longer use Google Task synchronization you may revoke this permission by visiting your Google security settings.
