How Tasker is different
Add tasks straight from Telegram
You can text Tasker’s bot or send it a voice message — it creates, moves or completes the task itself. Saw a channel post about a doctor’s appointment? Forward it to the bot. In advanced mode the post becomes an inbox item with a link to the source, and a photo or PDF becomes an attachment. Google Tasks takes tasks from Gmail, Google Chat and Docs; it has no Telegram bot.
Reminders arrive in Telegram
Tasker’s reminders come to Telegram with buttons: mark as done, or snooze for 10 minutes, an hour, 3 hours or a day. You’re in a meeting and “pick up the parcel” pops up — one tap, and it comes back in an hour. In the morning you can get your day’s plan in one message. This is free in both modes. Google Tasks sends notifications to the Tasks or Calendar app on your phone and through Google Calendar on a computer; the help doesn’t say how to snooze one.
GTD lists come ready-made
In advanced mode Tasker has an Inbox with Sort out buttons, a Today screen, and Waiting for a reply, Keep track of and Remember lists. Asked a repair person to send a quote? Put it in Waiting for a reply, and it stays on that list until you tap Received. In Google Tasks you create such lists yourself, and a task from anywhere goes straight into one of your regular lists.
A target date with an early warning
In advanced mode a Tasker task can have a target date — when it has to be finished — apart from the day you plan to work on it. Tax return due by May 1? Tasker shows a warning in the app ahead of time, and the Target dates section gathers all such tasks. Google Tasks also has a separate Deadline field, and its reminder comes at 9 AM on the deadline day itself.
Common questions
Is Tasker free?
The basic mode is free; the advanced mode is ₴49 a month (about $1). The basic mode has tasks, reminders in Telegram and by email, recurring tasks and a bot that understands everyday language and voice messages. Inbox, Today, the calendar grid, projects, target dates and attachments are in the advanced mode.
Is Google Tasks available in Ukrainian?
Yes, as of November 11, 2026, Ukrainian is one of the Google Tasks app’s languages. Tasker’s app, hints and bot are in Ukrainian and English too.
Is there a Google Tasks app for computers?
Google’s official pages list no separate app for Windows or Mac: on a computer Google Tasks opens in the browser — at tasks.google.com, in Google Calendar and in the Gmail side panel. Tasker also runs in the browser on a computer, and you can install it from the browser as an app.
Does Google Tasks have a Telegram bot?
No, Google Tasks has no official Telegram bot. In Tasker the bot is part of the app: it adds tasks from text and voice messages and sends reminders and your day’s plan.
Can I move my tasks from Google Tasks?
Not yet: Tasker has no import. You’ll need to add your tasks by hand, in the app or by texting the bot; you can print your Google Tasks list first so nothing gets lost.
Can I use both?
Yes, and it works well: keep tasks from emails and work chats in Google Tasks, and your personal tasks and Telegram reminders in Tasker. The two don’t sync with each other.
