Google Tasks

Connect Google Tasks and your tasks show up in your week: dated ones on their day, the rest in Someday. Tick one off or move it in Tweek, and Google Tasks follows. Google Tasks is a Premium feature.

Connect

On the web, go to Settings → your calendar → Synchronization and switch on Google Tasks. Allow Tweek access to your tasks, then pick the Google lists to sync — My Tasks is ticked already. On a calendar you share with someone, the owner connects it.

You connect on the web; after that the tasks show up in the iPhone and Android apps too.

Where tasks land

A task with a due date lands on that day. One without a date goes to the Someday section, into a list of its own for each Google list you picked. The list for My Tasks is called Google Tasks, the others keep their Google names. Rename them if you like — tasks keep landing in them.

Subtasks become the checklist of their task. Edit the checklist in Google: changes made to it in Tweek are replaced.

The first sync brings your open tasks, up to the 100 most recently changed in each list. An older task comes in once it changes in Google.

What goes back to Google

Tick a task off or reopen it, move it to another day, or rename it — Google Tasks gets the change. Drag it into Someday and its due date is cleared.

The rest stays in Tweek: notes, new tasks you add to a Google list, and deletions. Delete a task in Tweek and it stays in Google.

Changes in Google

New tasks, edits, ticks and deletions reach Tweek within 5 minutes. Sync now in the Google Tasks settings brings them at once.

Google doesn’t share the time of a task, so tasks come in with a date only. A repeating task comes in one occurrence at a time: the next one arrives on its day.

Move uncompleted tasks skips Google tasks: an overdue task stays on the day Google has for it.

If the sync stops

If the Google Tasks row asks you to reconnect, Tweek’s access ended on Google’s side. Click it and allow access again. Without Premium the sync pauses: your tasks stay in Tweek, but changes stop going either way.

Disconnect

To stop syncing one list, untick it under Lists. To stop them all, click Disconnect. Either way Tweek tells you how many unfinished tasks it will remove from Tweek — they stay in Google Tasks. Tasks you have ticked off stay as ordinary Tweek tasks. A list is removed once it is empty.
