Google Tasks alternative
A Google Tasks alternative, compared honestly.
Google Tasks is free and sits right inside Gmail and Calendar. Here is where dododonedone is the same, where it differs and where Google Tasks is ahead. Every fact about Google Tasks links to Google's own pages.
What you'd recognize
The everyday parts work the way you are used to.
- Lists for each part of your life (projects, here).
- Subtasks and notes on a task.
- Due dates, times and repeating tasks.
- An Android app, so the list is in your pocket.

Checked November 5, 2026
| Topic | dododonedone | Google Tasks |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $5 a month billed yearly ($60 a year), or $7 monthly. A 14-day trial, no card. | Free in the app stores, with a Google account. [1][2] |
| Apps | A web app that installs on any computer, and an Android app. | Android and iPhone apps, and a side panel in Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Drive and Docs. On a computer, Tasks lives in Google Calendar. [2] |
| Typing a date | Dates, times and repeats typed in plain English or Danish, as part of the task. | A date and time are set in the task's details. Gemini can add a task from plain words. [4][8] |
| Organizing | Projects with sections, labels, four priorities and a filter language for saved views. | Lists, subtasks and stars. A list sorts by your order, date, deadline, star or title. [6][5] |
| Sharing and teams | Share a project with a link. Team workspaces with roles, guests, assignees and an activity log. | Shared tasks live in Google Chat spaces, and in Docs on work accounts; both can assign them. [7] |
| AI assistants | Its own MCP server with OAuth, on every plan: Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor work in your list. | Gemini can add, change and show your tasks. Google's Workspace MCP servers don't list Tasks; there is a Tasks API for developers. [8][9][10] |
| Offline | Offline-first: every change is saved on your device first and syncs afterwards. | Google Calendar on the web can't show tasks offline; the Calendar app can. [11][12] |
| Danish | Danish from day one, dates and filter words included. | In Danish, as Google Huskeliste. [13] |
Where Google Tasks is ahead
- It is free. If you need a free list, Google Tasks is a good one, and we say so.[1]
- It lives where Google users already are: turn an email into a task in Gmail, and see your tasks in Calendar.[3][2]
- An iPhone and iPad app. We have a web app that works on any phone, and an Android app.[1]
- Gemini can add tasks from what you say, or from a photo of a list.[8]
Where dododonedone differs
- Labels, four priorities and Todoist's filter language, for lists that grow.
- Your choice of AI assistant works in the list through our MCP server: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor.
- Offline-first by design: the app never waits for the network.
- Shared projects and team workspaces with roles, guests and an activity log.
Moving from Google Tasks
Google Takeout exports your tasks, but there is no Google Tasks import here, so you bring your lists over yourself: type them into quick add, or copy a list into Claude or ChatGPT with dododonedone connected and ask it to make a project of it. Check the result before you delete anything in Google Tasks.
