If you're like many Mac users, you’ve probably tried Apple Reminders and Google Tasks—and found good things in both. Apple Reminders is clean and native. Google Tasks works across Android, Gmail, and the web. But managing two systems? That’s where productivity falls apart.
The good news: you don’t have to choose anymore.
Why People Use Both
Apple Reminders
- Integrated into macOS and iOS
- Voice-controlled with Siri
- Excellent calendar and time-based alerts
Google Tasks
- Syncs across Gmail, Google Calendar, and Android
- Quick add from email
- Works well in Google Workspace environments
But until recently, there was no seamless way to sync the two.
The Problem with Manual Syncing
Manually copying tasks is time-consuming.
Web apps are often bloated or limited.
And browser extensions can’t provide a native experience on Mac.
Introducing ReminderBridge
ReminderBridge is a macOS app that bridges the gap between Google Tasks and Apple Reminders. It runs quietly in the background, syncing both directions on your schedule.
✅ Native macOS app (no browser required)
✅ Syncs Google Tasks and Apple Reminders bi-directionally
✅ Lets you choose which lists to sync
✅ Keeps recurring tasks intact
✅ No subscriptions, no third-party servers
How It Works
- Install the app from the Mac App Store
- Sign in with your Google account
- Select the lists you want to sync
- Set a sync interval or use manual sync anytime
- That’s it. Tasks just stay updated.
Works Across Devices
ReminderBridge lives on your Mac, but because it syncs with Google, your tasks are also visible on:
- Android (Google Tasks app)
- Gmail sidebar
- Google Calendar
- iOS (via Apple Reminders)
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to commit to Apple or Google. With ReminderBridge, you can use both systems exactly how you want—without breaking your workflow.
