In their own words
Google Tasks
Google Tasks is a free task-list tool for capturing and organizing to-dos across Google apps. Users can turn Gmail messages into tasks and return to the original email from the task. Tasks with a date and time appear in Google Calendar, where reminders are available; repeating schedules can be daily, weekly, monthly, or annual. Separate lists and starred tasks help organize work, and subtasks, due dates, and notifications are included. Tasks and lists sync across computers, phones, and tablets when signed in to the same Google Account. Access is available on the web at tasks.google.com and in side panels for Gmail, Calendar, Chat, and Drive. In Google Chat spaces, users can assign tasks to teammates, set deadlines, and track progress. Tasks assigned in shared Google documents appear in the assignee’s task list, but that feature is available on some Business and Enterprise plans. Google lists mobile apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android. The plan costs nothing.
