For a while now, Google Tasks has been a handy tool integrated into Google Calendar. However, Google has recently decided to give this feature its own dedicated website, tasks.google.com. This change provides a more independent and user-friendly platform for managing your daily tasks.
The new website offers a clean and intuitive interface, similar to the one found within Google Calendar. You can easily create, edit, and prioritize tasks, as well as organize them into different lists. The website also supports dark mode, making it easier on the eyes during nighttime use.

Comparing Google Tasks to other task apps
While there are many task management apps available, Google Tasks stands out for its simplicity and seamless integration with other Google services. Unlike some other apps, Google Tasks doesn't overwhelm users with complex features. It's a straightforward tool that gets the job done.
One of the biggest advantages of using Google Tasks is its integration with Google Calendar. This allows you to easily schedule tasks and set reminders. You can also view your tasks alongside your calendar events, giving you a comprehensive overview of your day.
Another benefit of using Google Tasks is its accessibility. You can access your tasks from any device with a web browser or through the Google Tasks app on your phone. This makes it easy to stay on top of your to-do list, no matter where you are.
Finally, while there may be more advanced and feature-rich task apps out there, they may come at a cost — sometimes with a subscription. Google Tasks, on the other hand, is a free application that you can use in conjunction with your Gmail account.
How does this change benefit you?
If you are a Google apps user, this change could significantly impact how you manage your daily tasks. The standalone website offers a more streamlined and focused experience, making it easier to stay on top of your to-do list. However, it's important to note that the integration with Google Calendar remains, so you can still access your tasks from within your calendar.
Ultimately, the best way to determine if the standalone Google Tasks website is right for you is to try it out. It's a free tool, so there's no risk in giving it a shot. I use Google Tasks heavily with my personal account and should probably start utilizing it more with my work Gmail account as well.
