totally agree. There is excellence in both, but the must communicate...

I say the main advantage that google tasks has over RTM's view in google calendar is that rather than having to click the checkbox, you can see your tasks for a given day at-a-glance, in line with your appointments and meetings. I'd love to have that functionality with RTM!

Timothyadam - You may wish to tryout the original method of Gcal integration, which gives you some of what you ask for.

I would also be very interested in this feature

Since Google has yet to release its Tasks API, there's no way for RTM and Google Tasks to communicate. But I'm confident that once the API is out there, Bob will hook us up.

In the meantime, you can try the aforementioned Gcal integration from ranbarton's post, or this little gem I found today:

http://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/gmail/7777/

Basically, by simply navigating to the URL below, you can use the Gmail RTM gadget from within Google calendar.

The Tasks API was just released.

So can we look forward to RTM and Google Tasks Syncing?

Oh god I hope so.

Yes please, that would make a world of a difference... especially if it'll be free :(

Integration by API or simple Google buying RTM ;-)

What a good news too see the Google Tasks API coming alive ! I'm sure there is a really great mashup to develop with it !
I would be really happy to be able to sync the two services.

yes I agree. can't wait!

Let's make it happen. Are you listening RTM?

Yes, agreed! Please make this happen!

I too am anxious for this function. API inter-op is the only missing link for RTM to dominate this niche. Especially for BB users, and Im sure others agree for their device/config. Essential.

I'd love to see this happen; however, does Google Tasks support all RTM features? It doesn't seem to be able to handle repeating tasks and tags among other things.

So... 3 months since API has been released. Any news?

Please update it, and also: what are your plans regarding Apple iOS reminders integration?

This is high on my wish list too - will Bob be able to help us out?

I would really love to see this integrated as well.

This is just the feature I've been waiting for. It would allow me to combine all my existing solutions.

This hasn't come out yet right? I'd like for the CalenGoo iPhone app to display the RTM tasks in the calendar itself (as of now, it doesn't show the tasks themselves in the CalenGoo... not sure if that's a settings issue on my part or if it's that CalenGoo is only able to display the tasks from Google Tasks..."

So.... what's the word on getting RTM to sync with Google Tasks? I was planning to upgrade to pro in order to set up RTM and Google Tasks as my main system for "Getting Things Done." But I need RTM to sync with Google Tasks. Is that going to happen? Thanks!

+1 this is a feature I really need

+1 need it over here too

Without this, this app is useless to me. Is there any plan to do it or are we all just wishing Google would get their head out of the proverbial sand?

do it!

Really need this feature!

I have also emailed them to see if we can get an official response

I would like to be able to sync Google Tasks to RTM too.

There seems to be a lot of interest for this feature.

I'm almost tempted to use both API's provided by RTM and Google and create my own site :D

yes, this will be essential for me to continue using rtm...i must use google tasks for work, and i cant bother to use them both separately...so rtm must sync with google tasks, or its goodbye rtm for me :(

I've been struggling with a way to simplify my life... I use Gmail to sync my email with Thunderbird on two different computers and my android phone because its a whole lot cheaper than Outlook and has more tools for email than the Gmail site. I use Google Calendars which are fully integrated into Thunderbird to share events and appointments with my android phone and my wife. For tasks, I...?????? I'm stuck. There does not seem to be a full functioning yet reasonably priced email client out there that can sync email, calendars, contacts AND TASKS in a user-friendly way between an Android phone and multiple computers.

I was hoping Thunderbird and RTM could help, but RTM can't see Google Tasks and an administrator has disabled the Remember The Milk extension for Thunderbird.

...a swing and a miss.

PLEASE hurry up and sync google tasks and RTM!

would like to be able to sync Google Tasks to RTM too.
I love both, and I have so many tasks in google from my email account, and I want to bring them to RTM.

C'mon, make it so already ... please.

"yes, this will be essential for me to continue using rtm...i must use google tasks for work, and i cant bother to use them both separately...so rtm must sync with google tasks, or its goodbye rtm for me :("

Same here. :/

It would be great to have the tasks show up directly into the Native Gmail Tasks. I have some users that use GASMO (Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook) and that syncs with the RTM Tasks with Google Tasks but it requires a computer to be on and sort of removes the "Cloud" which is bad. I vote for having RTM build in an interface to Google Tasks directly.

Thanks

Man, this would be so helpful if RTM would just sync with Google Tasks. It would literally make everything a thousand times easier. COME ON GUYS!!!

While you are waiting for synchronization, you can use the iCal links in your lists to add them to Google Calendar so that your tasks will display there like gTasks does.

My solution:
- Search for "status:incomplete" in RTM and then make that a "Smart Lists"
- Copy the iCalendar (Events) link and add it to Google Calendar
- Add the RTM Google Calendar App for easy editing (http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/googlecalendar/)

Hope this helps some of those out there until this becomes native!

For what it's worth, I would also love to see a feature that allows RTM to sync with Google tasks!

Syncing with Google tasks would make life so much easier when it comes to using Google Calendar.

When this is going to happen??? Please, I'll go PRO the minute it comes out....

I'd love this too, but unfortunately I don't see it happening guys. RTM is a paid service, and syncing with a free service kind of devalues their proposition. In a more direct way, it also subverts their pro- requirement for mobile access.

As a former pro- (now gtasks) user, I also have to say that the standards for a paid service are higher. For me, to trust my data with your service, you have to have both solid official offerings, and great interopability. To RTMs credit, they put a lot of effort into integration offerings and an API, but I never could RTM to work for me as well as the simple gmail + gtasks. Gtasks also has the advantage that it's google, and inherently has lots of integration and third party offerings. I've never enjoyed rtms website; it definitely needs an update, and the apps have taken a long time to get really good.

With this RTM will be perfect for my use, as I still like google to be my main data provider. I will return and use RTM then possible.
Put this in the Pro account, and you will get a lot of pro subscriptions

I'd become "Pro" too if RTM would syn with Google Tasks...Oh, and the web interface really needs some work. Not a very nice web-experience.

i would go pro if RTM synced with google tasks

Needed!!

Another bonus to this is that Google Tasks has good keyboard shortcuts inside the gmail web interface which makes adding/completing tasks really easy. A sync with RTM would be fantastic.

Send email to RTM and create GTask

+1 Even if Google Tasks doesn't support every feature of RTM, if it would just create a task with any features gtask supports, that would be great.

The reason why this would be great, is that (I believe) it would allow me to add a reminder to an email from Google Inbox (the Gmail replacement) and it would show up in my RTM default list for triage.

It has been six years. Other apps like Do Now have this integration. Why are we still waiting?

+1

I would also like this syncing feature.

How about some Google Inbox love?

ditto, it would be good to have some integration between RTM and google inbox. I am getting used to inbox but prefer the functionality of gmail because I can see my calendar and RTM tasks on the same screen.

I would also like to see rtm integration with Google tasks and inbox by gmail. It is so much more convenient to add tasks via Google now than by clicking the rtm widget.

Please add this.

Hard to believe we cant sync with google tasks/inbox

This would be very helpful, though, now I'd opt for RTM to have their own Google Workspace Add-on for calendar.

10 years and nothing. Not even a response. I think RTM is dying. :(

I agree with this, overall. Would be nice to sync with Google Tasks, or at least have RTM become as integrated within Google Workspace as Tasks is. RTM has a better UEx

I want!
