Google has a Google Tasks Chrome extension, albeit with Google Tasks' older design, so you can add tasks from any website. Or, if you'd rather open Google Tasks in its own tab, Google has a handful of web apps with older designs for a basic way to manage Google Tasks.

While Google rightly gets a lot of flack for its scattered approach to messaging, its have been a close second for sprawling, scrambled efforts. There's, a note-taking app; Google Reminders, which nag you about Calendar events, email follow-ups, or Keep notes; and Google Tasks, which as a stripped-down to-do list feature. None of these services have historically played particularly nice together. But along with a, Google Wednesday launched a dedicated for iOS and Android—and may have not only cleaned up its mess, but given you a viable way to wrangle your to-dos. Google Tasks is not, to be clear, a full-featured To Do app. Tasks is about as stripped down as it gets, in both form and function. In some ways that's a relief; you won't be tempted to dither.

Open it up, and you're greeted with a list of tasks. From there, you can either look at an existing task in a little more depth, or create a new one. In terms of visible options, that's it. Even within specific tasks, your options are limited. You can add subtasks—think of them as related bullet points, like specific grocery items underneath a 'Go to Publix' task—and assign a date.

And that's about it. No, really, that's all there is. You can't narrow down tasks to a certain time, or share them with others.

You can't add tags for easy sorting. And Tasks doesn't automatically recognize that 'today' and 'tomorrow' mean, well, today and tomorrow, which more sophisticated to-do apps can, automatically placing them in the appropriate slot on your calendar. In some ways, the absence of features provides a sort of roundabout benefit. The more time you spend in your to-do app, the less time you're actually doing. You don't gussy up a zen garden with autumn ferns. 'We believe in the strength of a simple-to-use and straightforward tasks app,' says Tasks product manager Florian Goerisch.

'A tasks app shouldn't be complicated but should help you focus on getting your work done.' There's a balance, though, one that Tasks hasn't quite met. Sometimes less is more, but it can also simply be less, particularly in instances when automation saves you the trouble of typing a whole word, or clicking a date on a calendar, or remembering what hour, specifically, you were supposed to get something done. If you haven't found a to-do list that works for you—particularly a free one—it's worth giving Tasks a shot. Fortunately, Goerisch has a few items left on his Tasks to-do list.

'We're of course looking into bringing additional features to enhance the product,' he says, though he declined to say if that included Google Assistant integration, another currently absentee feature. Even with its austere offerings, though, Tasks has plenty of appeal, especially since Google's newly unveiled Gmail redesign gives it top billing. Well, side billing, technically; rather than having to dig for it, Tasks lives as an icon in a right-hand panel, along with icons for Calendar and Keep.

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel When I create a powerpoint in 2008 and use the slide master to format my bullets and then save it as powerpoint 2004 I lose some of the bullet formatting once I reopen it. Any way to fix this. Colors of the bullets remain the same but the spacing between bullet and text is gone and the text does not justify to the normal indent as a bullet point wraps to the second line.

One click, and your to-do list springs to life inside your email. It'll do the same soon in Docs, Sheets, Slides and Calendar, as the refresh seeps into other G Suite products.

And while Keep and Tasks may still share some overlapping functions, they deviate enough that it makes sense for them to live as distinct options. At least, for now. 'Tasks is for to-do management. It is designed to help users manage lists of tasks and subtasks related to work, for example—emails to reply to, meetings to prepare for, and documents to review,' says Goerisch.

'Keep is for note taking and quick capturing of ideas.' So no, it's not as beautiful as.

It's not as feature-full as Todoist. It doesn't use a (although lord knows Google's capable). But if you haven't found a to-do list that works for you—particularly a free one—it's worth giving Tasks a shot.

It may not do it all, but it does the basics well. And if you're already heavy into Google's ecosystem, it's going to do them the places you need them most.
