Google Keep slowly rolling out Tasks integration

Following last month’s announcement, the migration of Google Keep reminders to Google Tasks is slowly rolling out.

So far, this is only available on one Google Account of the several we checked today. The company previously mentioned a “second half of 2025” date, so it’s hopefully complete before year’s end. You’ll see a “Reminders are now Google Tasks” prompt once it’s rolled out to your device.

When you tap the bell icon in the top-right corner of a note, the reminder will now be “saved in Google Tasks.” You’ll see that service’s blue icon at the top of the sheet. The options for Tomorrow morning, Tomorrow evening, and Next [week], as well as Pick a date & time with repeat intervals, are unchanged from before.

However, this migration removes Home, Work, and Pick a place as Google Tasks does not offer location-based reminders. Existing location data will be placed in the task description. 

After setting, reminders will appear in the Google Tasks app and Google Calendar grid with a “From Keep” label. Tapping the badge conveniently opens the note for quick access. 

Google Keep also retains the “Reminders” page (list or grid view) accessible from the navigation drawer. If you delete inside Keep, Google will ask if you want to remove both the task reminder and note, or just the latter.

It’s important to note that the Google Keep app will no longer send notifications for any set reminders. Those alerts will now be handled by Calendar or Tasks, so make sure those applications are installed.

You can edit the date/time of reminders from the Keep notes, Tasks, or Calendar, while any app can mark them complete. One nuance is how the title of a reminder must be edited using Tasks or Calendar: 

If you only change the title of the Keep note, the reminder’s title doesn’t update.

For the most part, the migration (save for location) is pretty straightforward. Some small details to be aware of include:

• Limits on tasks: You can have up to 100,000 tasks. If the number of Keep reminders is more than the task limit, the oldest reminders don’t migrate to Tasks.
• Long reminders: If your Keep reminder is too long, its title is shortened after it migrates to Tasks.
• Pending tasks: You can find a list of all “Pending tasks” from the last 365 days in the “All-day” section of your calendar for the current day.
• Repeating tasks: If you have a task that repeats more than every 1,000 days, weeks, months, or years, we adjust the recurrence schedule to be once every 1,000 days, weeks, months, or years. For example, a task that repeats every 2,000 days is adjusted to every 1,000 days.
  • Reminders that don’t repeat and are older than a year are added to an “Old Google Keep Reminders” list.
• Tasks beyond the year 3000: Any tasks with dates beyond the year 3000 are adjusted to the year 2900.
