Google Launches Standalone Google Tasks Website

Overview:

Announcement Date: Late January/Early February 2024
Feature: Google has launched a standalone website for Google Tasks, available at tasks.google.com.
Previous Access: Users could access Tasks through calendar.google.com or the Workspace sidebar in Gmail, Drive, and other apps.
New Interface: The standalone site offers the same fullscreen interface as the one integrated into Google Calendar, with:
- Side-by-side cards for Lists that can be rearranged.
- A navigation drawer to switch between All Tasks and Starred items.
- Options to hide individual lists and create new ones.
Dark Mode: The site follows your device’s system dark theme but does not provide a manual toggle.
Future Updates: Google will maintain both the standalone and integrated experiences, similar to the approach on Android where there is both a standalone app and an integrated Calendar experience (the latter not yet available on iOS).
