What you can do with Reclaim + Google Tasks
The Google Tasks integration helps Reclaim turn personal to-dos into calendar time. Google Tasks can remind you when a task is due, but Reclaim helps suggest which tasks to work on according to priority and due date so that you have time to actually complete the work.
With Reclaim and Google Tasks, users can:
Sync Google Tasks to their Reclaim Task list
Create time estimates for tasks
Consider the suggested Tasks to work on according to due date and priority
Track overdue, active, and completed tasks
Category | Capability | Description | Example use cases |
Setup | Connect Google Tasks | Link Reclaim to Google Tasks so to-dos can sync to the Reclaim Task list where you can view all of your tasks. | “Connect Reclaim to Google Tasks.” |
Setup | Configure task sync | Choose which Google Tasks should sync into Reclaim. | “Sync my Google Tasks.” |
Estimates | Create time estimates | Customize how much time each task needs so Reclaim can plan the workweek accurately. | “Set this task to take one hour.” |
Deadlines | Complete tasks before due dates | Schedule work before the task is due, instead of only seeing a reminder on the due date. | “Make sure this is done before Friday.” |
Smart planning | Find the best time | Place task work into the best openings in Google Calendar and keep blocks flexible as availability changes. | “Find time for this task this week.” |
Reporting | Analyze task productivity | See overdue, active, and completed tasks, plus time allocated to Google Tasks compared with meetings and free time. | “How much time did I spend on tasks this week?” |
