Google Tasks is a minimal task manager built into Gmail and Google Calendar. Its primary strength is integration with Google Workspace. Tasks can be created from emails and surfaced alongside your calendar. For light personal use within the Google ecosystem, it gets the job done without friction.
It's not designed for the complexity TSKR addresses. Google Tasks has no project layer, no weekly priority workspace, no carry-forward logic, and no intelligence beyond basic list management. It works for the person who needs a simple reminder system, not for the operator who runs a business function out of their head.
If Google Tasks is your current system, it's a signal that you're holding more context mentally than any tool is capturing for you. That's exactly what TSKR is built to change.
