How do I share Gmail task lists? Not emailing task lists, but sharing them, like a Google Doc or Google calendar.

Unfortunately, Google Tasks are very limited in functionality. You're not going to be able to do this without a third-party tool, if at all. – Al Everett Aug 12 '11 at 19:42
@Al What third-party tools are out there? – daviesgeek Sep 7 '11 at 16:48
Couldn't tell you. I don't use GTasks. – Al Everett Sep 7 '11 at 23:51
@Al Is there an alternative? – daviesgeek Sep 8 '11 at 2:41

Perhaps you could create a google account that you could share and create the Tasks under that?

That's a good idea. Thanks! – daviesgeek Apr 4 '12 at 23:19

There is now a great, free, third-party solution for sharing/syncing Google Tasks. It's still in beta and not quite perfect yet, but gets the job done.

http://www.isynctasks.de/

A few notes:

  • You can only provide edit permission, not view permission
  • You don't have control over how often it syncs, but it's roughly every 15 minutes.
  • It only syncs tasks that haven't been cleared (using "clear completed tasks" from the menu).
  • If someone else checks off a task, it gets checked off on the other users' lists, but each user has to clear the completed tasks on their own list. This is by design so that each user will know the tasks were finished.

A huge thanks to herr.kaste for developing this!

Please don't copy-paste the same answer to multiple questions. If nothing else, it looks spammy. – Al Everett Feb 8 at 16:27

@Eddie I debated marking one as a duplicate, but they seemed like validly different questions, though the same answer fit both. I'm definitely not trying to be spammy, just trying to provide an answer to a question I'd had myself for a long time. – kevinmicke Feb 8 at 17:03
@ChrisF I'm not involved in the site. I did email the developer once to provide feedback since it's in beta, and he kindly emailed back, but that's my only contact with him. I'm just excited that he built the tool I've had in mind to build myself for a long time but hadn't yet gotten around to. – kevinmicke Feb 8 at 17:07
@kevinmicke - that's fine. It's just that posting the identical answer to two different questions raised some automatic flags. – ChrisF Feb 8 at 17:11
