TASKn 2.6: Calendar Sync Has Arrived (Google, Apple & More)
The short answer: TASKn 2.6 adds two-way calendar sync with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and more. Your tasks and your meetings finally live in one view — no more planning your day in two different apps.
If you’ve ever stared at a to-do list wondering when you’ll actually do any of it, this update is for you. Here’s everything new in TASKn 2.6 and how to set it up in about a minute.

Why Calendar Sync Changes Everything
Most to-do apps treat your tasks and your calendar as two separate universes. Your meetings live in Google Calendar. Your tasks live in a list. And the actual planning — figuring out that the report gets written between the 10 AM standup and lunch — happens in your head, usually while you’re already behind.
Calendar sync ends that split. When your tasks and events share one view, planning stops being a mental juggling act:
- See the real day. Your 2 PM dentist appointment sits right next to “finish quarterly report,” so you stop scheduling three hours of deep work into a day with four meetings.
- Tasks get real deadlines. A task with a date isn’t a wish anymore — it’s on the calendar, next to everything else competing for that time.
- No double entry. Update in one place, see it in the other. That’s what two-way means.
What Syncs in TASKn 2.6
Two-way sync means information flows in both directions:
- Calendar → TASKn: Your Google and Apple calendar events appear inside TASKn, alongside your tasks. One view of the whole day.
- TASKn → calendar: Tasks with dates show up on your connected calendars, so anyone (or any app) looking at your calendar sees the full picture.
It works with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and more — connect the accounts you actually use and TASKn brings them together. Available on iPhone, Android, and the web, so your synced day follows you everywhere.
Set It Up in About a Minute
- Open TASKn and head to Settings.
- Find Calendar Sync and tap Connect.
- Sign in with your Google or Apple account and choose which calendars to include.
- Done — your events appear next to your tasks immediately.
No manual importing, no CSV files, no 20-step integration guides. If you can sign into an account, you can set this up.
Who Is This For?
- The meeting-heavy professional. If your day is a patchwork of calls with task-shaped gaps in between, you need to see both layers at once. Calendar sync turns “I have 30 minutes free somewhere” into a concrete plan.
- The freelancer juggling clients. Client deadlines on the calendar, project tasks in the list — now they’re one timeline. Much harder for things to slip through the cracks.
- The student. Classes on the calendar, assignments as tasks. Seeing them together makes “I’ll study this weekend” turn into “I’ll study Saturday 10–12.”
- The reformed over-scheduler. If your to-do list routinely contains more than any human could do in a day, seeing tasks against actual calendar time is a reality check that finally sticks.
A 5-Minute Morning Workflow (Try This Tomorrow)
Calendar sync is most powerful with a tiny daily habit. Here’s one that takes five minutes:
- Open TASKn with your coffee. You’ll see today’s events already sitting next to your tasks — no setup needed beyond the initial connection.
- Let the AI rank. TASKn’s AI looks at your task list and surfaces what actually matters today. You don’t start from a 40-item list; you start from a shortlist.
- Match tasks to gaps. Got 90 minutes between meetings? That’s where the report goes. Thirty minutes before lunch? That’s the dentist call. You’re not “finding time” — the time is right there, visible.
- Adjust once, mid-day. Things shift. When a meeting runs long, glance at the combined view and move one thing. Because tasks and events live together, re-planning takes seconds instead of a frazzled ten minutes of app-switching.
That’s it. The people who get the most out of calendar sync aren’t productivity monks — they’re just people who spend five minutes each morning looking at one screen instead of three.
Calendar Sync vs. Just Checking Two Apps
“It’s the same information — why does one view matter?” Fair question. Three reasons:
Friction kills planning. Every extra tap between you and the full picture is a chance to skip planning entirely. Two apps means you plan in whichever one you opened, with half the data. One view means the plan is always complete.
Time becomes visible. A task list has no sense of time. “Write report” looks the same whether you have six free hours or twenty free minutes. Next to a calendar, the task inherits reality — you can see at a glance whether today is a deep-work day or a meeting day, and choose tasks accordingly.
Deadlines get teeth. A due date on a list is easy to ignore. A task sitting on Thursday’s calendar, staring at you between two meetings, is much harder to pretend you didn’t see.
Also New-ish: Home Screen Widgets
If you missed the 2.5 update, it brought home screen widgets — your top tasks, visible without opening the app. Combined with calendar sync, your iPhone or Android home screen is now a genuine daily command center: today’s tasks, today’s events, zero taps to see them.
Your whole day, one view. Download TASKn free on iOS, Android, or use it on the web.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which calendars does TASKn sync with?
TASKn 2.6 supports two-way sync with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and more. Connect the accounts you use and choose which calendars to include.
Is the sync really two-way?
Yes. Calendar events appear inside TASKn next to your tasks, and your dated tasks appear on your connected calendars. Change something on either side and it stays in sync.
Do I need a paid subscription for calendar sync?
TASKn is free to download on the App Store and Google Play, with premium features available via subscription. Update to version 2.6 to get calendar sync.
Will syncing mess up my existing calendar?
No. TASKn reads your events and adds your tasks alongside them — it doesn’t delete, move, or rewrite your existing calendar entries.
Does calendar sync work on the web version too?
Yes. TASKn works on iPhone, Android, and the web at taskn.app, and your synced calendars follow you across all of them.
What if I use both Google and Apple calendars?
Connect both. TASKn brings them together into one view with your tasks, so you’re not cross-referencing two calendars plus a to-do list anymore.
The bottom line: a to-do list without your calendar is half a plan. Update to TASKn 2.6, connect your calendar, and plan tomorrow in one view instead of three.
