Google will finally put Keep reminders in Tasks, where they always belonged

The reminders you’ve jotted down in Google Keep will soon show up in Tasks. Google says the long-requested integration is coming over the next year, allowing you to see, edit, and complete your Keep reminders across Tasks, Calendar, and Assistant.

The change will make Tasks the central hub for all to-dos and reminders, hopefully making them far easier to manage. It’s something my colleague David Pierce suggested when talking about Google’s upgraded Keep app last year, saying, “Now, Google, make Keep reminders show up in Tasks. It’s right there!”

Even though Tasks doesn’t support location-based reminders like Keep does, Google states (referring to Keep) that you can still “add time or location-based reminders to any note.”

Over the past year, Google has been working to make its Tasks app more useful — or “finally kind of good,” as David put it. It started including reminders from Assistant and Calendar in March 2023, and the integration with Keep should only make it a more practical productivity app.
