GQueues Is a Google-Oriented Task Manager [Task Manager]

By itself, task manager GQueues is pretty handy—a list-oriented task manager with sub-tasks, due dates, assignments, tagging, and other neat features. But its integration with Google sign-in, Calendar, and Google Apps make it more than just another to-do app. More »

Things To Do Turns Chrome’s New Tab Page into a To-Do List [Downloads]

Google Chrome: If seeing what needs to be done next is a lot more useful for you than seeing where you usually go on the net, you’ll want to use Things To Do to transform Chrome’s new tab page.

There are no options or settings to Things To Do—simply install the extension, and your new tab page is taken over by a very simple to-do list. Type in items, "X" them off as you complete them, and have your web wanderings out of mind as a bonus.

Things To Do is a free download, requires a development build of Chrome on Windows or Linux (for the moment).






Google Tasks Client Puts Tasks (or Any Google App) On Your Desktop [Downloads]

Windows/Mac/Linux (Adobe AIR): We’ve written about a lot of desktop clients that are essentially site-specific browsers (SSBs), but free AIR client Google Tasks helps you consolidate your clients by allowing access to most Google apps in mobile form.

Google Tasks may be one of the lesser-used Google services, but for those who like their tasks integrated with everything else Google in their lives, it certainly does the trick. Now, thanks to the same developer as Remember the Task (a desktop client for Lifehacker-favorite Remember the Milk), you can get Google Tasks in a small window on your desktop—plus so much more.

The really cool thing about the Google Tasks client is that, since it’s merely built on the Google Mobile API, you can actually access any Google app available as a mobile site from Google Tasks. Just scroll to the top and choose your app (or hit “more” for a larger list), and you can access Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and others within the same client, essentially making it an all-around Google Mobile client. If you feel like you have one too many SSBs open at any given time, this is a pretty nice solution.

Google Tasks is a free download for all platforms, and requires Adobe AIR.






Todoist Anywhere Turns Gmail Messages, Web Sites Into Tasks [To-do Lists]

Web-based to-do manager Todoist already integrates with Gmail forwards and opens from Launchy, but a “Todoist Anywhere” bookmarklet makes the service easy to integrate with Gmail labels or individual messages, as detailed in this video.

As noted in the video, you can sign up directly from the pop-open bookmarklet, and clicking the bookmarklet while an email message or search/tag results page is open gives Todoist a little special context for your tasks and sub-tasks. Got another tool to integrate Todoist, or another task manager, with your Gmail? We’d love to hear about it in the comments.






Add Gmail Tasks to Your Firefox Sidebar [Bookmarks]

If you’ve gotten into Gmail’s new Task manager now that it’s available on your mobile device and iGoogle, there’s one more convenient place you may be keen on placing it: your browser’s sidebar.

Every time a cool, stripped down widget becomes available, we love bookmarking it and loading said bookmark in our Firefox sidebar. We’ve done it with Google Talk, your Google Calendar agenda, and Facebook chat, for example. Luckily, as we’ve noted before, you can load any site in your Firefox sidebar in just a few simple steps:

  1. Drag Gmail Tasks to your Bookmarks toolbar.
  2. Right-click the new bookmark and select Properties.
  3. Tick the box labeled Load this bookmark in the sidebar, then click Save Changes.

And that’s all it takes. Now every time you click on that bookmark, you’ll see your Gmail Tasks in your sidebar, from which you can view, create, edit, delete, and complete tasks. (As noted in the Google Operating System post, both Firefox and Opera support loading bookmarks in the sidebar. These instructions are for Firefox.)
