Best Google Tasks kanban apps

A fair look at kanban apps for Google Tasks — TasksBoard, Sunrise, and when calendar context matters for day planning.

Google Tasks does not ship a kanban view — but several apps add boards on top of your existing lists. The right choice depends on whether you need Tasks-only project boards or calendar and tasks together.

What to look for

  • Google Tasks sync — changes should appear in Gmail, Calendar, and Google’s mobile Tasks app
  • List-as-column model — your Google Tasks lists become board columns without a proprietary database
  • Calendar context — if your day is schedule-driven, seeing events alongside tasks matters
  • Honest pricing — free tiers that cover personal use without aggressive upsells

TasksBoard

TasksBoard is the most established Google Tasks kanban app. It offers full-screen boards, labels, team sharing, Gmail add-on, and native mobile apps. Strong fit if your work is Tasks-first — project boards, shared lists, and collaboration on top of Google Tasks.

Choose TasksBoard when: you want team sharing, custom labels, or a Tasks-only kanban with mobile apps today.

Sunrise

Sunrise adds kanban for Google Tasks and unifies Google Calendar in one interface — Today view, upcoming agenda, and week calendar. Free on the web. Data stays in your Google account.

Choose Sunrise when: you plan events and tasks together — personal day planning, not team project boards. See Sunrise vs TasksBoard.

Google’s native apps

Google Tasks in Gmail or the mobile app works for simple lists. No kanban, no unified calendar+tasks view — but zero extra tools.

Choose Google native when: you only need lightweight lists and rarely look at calendar and tasks side by side.
