I almost can’t believe it, but Google Tasks is finally kind of good
A half-decade later, Google finally made a decent to-do list app.
For years, Google's to-do list app Tasks was poorly integrated and underdeveloped. Recently, Google has combined all their reminder products into a single Google Tasks app that is accessible across Google products. While still lacking some advanced features, Google Tasks' simplicity and integration make it easy to add tasks and see reminders across Gmail, Calendar and Assistant. The author enjoys being able to say "What are my tasks today?" to Assistant and have tasks show up in Calendar. However, the author notes that Tasks still does not integrate well with multiple Google accounts.

Whenever I see one of these write-ups, no one mentions Microsoft To-Do in the comments.
Am I high? Is it just me? I freaking love this dumb little app…
I mean sure the only reason I use it is because my employer is a MS house so it goes out to everyone as standard, and if I didn’t get it effectively free I'd probably roll Obsidian… but it deserves a little love imo.
@runningromeo @trashhalo 100% agree. To Do used to be Wunderlist and largely preserves the design. I’ve used it on and off for years. I’ve mostly gone back and forth between Wunderlist/To Do and Todoist, but To Do is really all I need. Inline hashtags / links, sub tasks, reminders, due dates, files, repetition and Outlook integration. It walks right up to the line of project management (Todoist, I think, crosses the line, in a great way if that’s what you need).
I was just looking for this - I think it was an independent app before, they bought the company. I think. That would explain why it's so nice. And one of the things nobody mentions is that it actually lets you print your todo list out. It's such a small thing but it means the world to me
Yep, I've tried a bunch and always go back to Microsoft to do, it is almost perfect.
