Here’s a list of 5 Google Tasks extensions for Google Chrome which you can use to more easily manage Google tasks when using Chrome. For those who aren’t familiar with Google Tasks, it’s a service that offers task management from within Gmail. Tasks can be added manually, or they can be created from emails that you receive. That way you get to have messaging and task management all on the same place.
Following extensions and apps for Chrome can better integrate Google Tasks into Chrome.
Google Tasks Offline
We can’t always have an active internet connection at hand, especially if you’re the type of person that travels a lot. In these types of situations it’s always a good idea to have your online data synced with the computer, so that it’s accessible even when you’re offline.
That’s exactly what Google Tasks Offline does for Google Tasks. It will download your list of Google Tasks and then make them available to you from within Chrome, when you’re offline. Next time that you have interent, you can then again easily sync data between Google Tasks online and the offline version that you have installed on Chrome.
