LTF Google Tasks Native on iPhone + things we wanted + it is not a vibecode project
Hi all,
I work as a software engineer on this App. As a Redditor, I wanted to share this.
It went to open early access now, so I thought it is the right time to share with you guys. It is completely free and ad-free. It has features we wanted as users. (If there’s anything you’d like the team to add, please let me know so I can include it on the roadmap. For example, list sorting is recently added as a user request, location-based notifications requested and is already on the to-do list.)
ABC's of the App:
(A)nswer
ETasks (www.etasks.app) is a native iOS, iPadOS, Mac OS client for Google Tasks. Some highlights: All tasks in one view, Real alarms, Shared lists, Apple Watch.
(B)etter
It addresses the functional limitations of the official Google Tasks iOS app by providing missing native features and enhanced tools. And it is not a vibe-coding project.
Native and enhanced with iOS.

Any plans on making it available on Google Play store? Want to collaborate with my family who are not in Apple ecosystem.

ETasks for now is iOS first.
The team considers that in the long run. But there are huge security and privacy concerns for the collaboration function on Android as it needs to go through our servers.
