Feature-by-feature comparison

Google Tasks is for actionable to-dos; Google Keep is for notes and capture. See how each tool handles reminders, lists, and collaboration.

Feature 1

Due dates and reminders

Google Tasks is built around due dates, deadlines, and notifications synced through Google Calendar.

Google Keep supports note reminders; newer flows save reminders in Google Tasks and surface them in Calendar.

Keep supports checklists inside a note, but not dedicated parent-child task entities.

Keep organizes by labels, colors, and pinned notes in a card grid.

"Always have 101 things to do and this helps me organize and prioritize like no other app can. It syncs to my phone and laptop, and when I add dates to tasks, they automatically integrate into my Google Calendar, which is immensely convenient. I can look at my daily, weekly, and monthly overview in Google Calendar and clearly see how much I was able to accomplish! Great tool indeed. Excited to see how it will evolve over time."

"Seriously, makes my tasks easier to share with the team, and the free version is quite nice for our little office. Eventually, we will expand, and this is definitely a great tool to do that! Syncs with my Workspace and Calendar."

"I love the simple, intuitive interface and the Add to Tasks feature, especially as I work through my emails! Sharing my tasks is also easy. Overall, outstanding and simple to use, and that means a lot with too many complex tasks out there!"

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Cuál es la diferencia principal entre Google Tasks y Google Keep?

Google Tasks es una herramienta de lista de tareas estructurada con fechas de vencimiento, subtareas e integración con Google Calendar. Google Keep es una aplicación de toma de notas de forma libre con soporte para texto, imágenes, notas de voz y etiquetas codificadas por colores. Tasks es para acciones; Keep es para capturas.

¿Cuál es mejor para tareas de trabajo: Google Tasks o Google Keep?

Google Tasks es mejor para tareas de trabajo. Admite fechas límite, subtareas, integración con Gmail y se sincroniza con Google Calendar. Keep es mejor para capturar notas e ideas rápidamente, pero no proporciona la estructura necesaria para gestionar el trabajo de manera fiable.

¿Puedo convertir una nota de Google Keep en una Google Task?

No directamente en las aplicaciones. El flujo de trabajo recomendado es crear manualmente una tarea en Google Tasks basada en la información de tu nota de Keep. Algunos usuarios copian el contenido de la nota de Keep en la descripción o el campo de notas de la tarea.

¿Admite Google Tasks recordatorios como Google Keep?

Google Tasks admite fechas de vencimiento, que activan recordatorios en Google Calendar. Google Keep tiene su propio sistema de recordatorios con recordatorios basados en la ubicación. Para recordatorios basados en el tiempo vinculados a un calendario, Google Tasks con fechas de vencimiento es la opción más fiable.

¿Puedes compartir tareas en Google Tasks como notas en Google Keep?

Google Tasks nativo no admite el uso compartido. Google Keep permite compartir notas con otros usuarios de Google. Sin embargo, TasksBoard añade uso compartido en equipo en tiempo real a Google Tasks: puedes compartir un tablero completo con compañeros de equipo y asignar tareas.

¿Qué añade TasksBoard a Google Tasks que lo hace mejor que Keep?

TasksBoard le da a Google Tasks un tablero Kanban a pantalla completa, uso compartido en equipo, gestión de tareas mediante arrastrar y soltar y una vista de hoy que combina tareas con eventos de Google Calendar. Esto convierte la naturaleza estructurada de Tasks en un sistema de productividad completo que Keep no puede igualar.

¿Existe una aplicación que combine Google Tasks y Google Keep?

Ninguna aplicación única fusiona ambas de forma nativa. El flujo de trabajo práctico que siguen la mayoría de los usuarios avanzados es: capturar en Keep, procesar en Tasks, luego usar TasksBoard para gestionar Tasks con una interfaz Kanban a pantalla completa y uso compartido en equipo.
