My favorite Google productivity app is everywhere and nowhere

When one thinks of Google’s myriad productivity apps, Gmail and Calendar presumably come to mind immediately. This important duo is preinstalled on Android smartphones, making them readily accessible to anyone wanting to exchange emails or log events. However, what if you want to keep track of to-dos? Chances are, you’re already using Google Tasks, the company’s ethereal task management app, without even knowing it exists.

This statement isn’t a reach, either. While scrolling through online forums, it struck me how many long-time Android users had no idea that Google even has a dedicated to-do list app. Yes, it’s not preinstalled on Android like others, but its presence is nonetheless felt in almost every other service.
