FAQ

Is TasksBoard made by Google?

No. TasksBoard is made by independent developers, not by Google. TasksBoard is not affiliated with Google in any way.

We are not responsible for the development of the Google Tasks product and the Google Tasks team is not responsible for TasksBoard development and should not be contacted for support on this product.

The payment of the TasksBoard Premium plan is not included nor related to your Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) subscription. You should not contact Google for support related to your TasksBoard subscription.

How can I upgrade to Premium?

TasksBoard Basic is free forever.

However, if you want to boost your productivity with more features, you can try TasksBoard Premium free of charge for 7 days. After that, we offer monthly, annual, and Team plans.

You can check the full pricing details here, or compare the plans in Plans and pricing and read how the free trial works.

How can I manage my subscription?

You can manage your subscription from the subscription page, which you can access by clicking on your profile picture at the top right and then clicking on “Subscription”. See Manage subscription, Change your plan and Cancel your subscription.

I can’t sign in on TasksBoard / My tasks never load

Please check out Fix connection issues or our troubleshooting page, which give you all the instructions to fix your connection issues.

I don’t have a TasksBoard password

TasksBoard has no password: you sign in with your Google account only. Password problems are handled on Google’s sign-in page. If the sign-in keeps sending you back, see fix connection issues.

The page is blank, is TasksBoard down?

Reload with Ctrl+Shift+R (Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac) or wait an hour: browsers can keep a stale copy of the app after a release. If it is blank everywhere, we are on it. See TasksBoard shows a blank page.

Why was I charged after my free trial?

The trial lasts 7 days and converts to the plan you picked unless you cancel before; no reminder email is sent. A charge from the last 30 days can be refunded on request. See refunds and unexpected charges.

I don’t recognise a TasksBoard charge on my card

The charge reads TASKSBOARD.COM BAAR on the statement and belongs to a subscription started with a Google account, often by a colleague on a company card. See identify a TasksBoard charge.

How do I cancel a subscription on an account I can’t access?

Write to us with the old address or the charge details and we cancel it for you. See cancel a subscription you cannot sign in to.

Do you offer nonprofit or volume discounts?

No. The education discount (50% off Pro for school and university accounts) is the only permanent discount, and the Team price is the same per seat for any number of seats. See plans and pricing.

Do you provide a W-9, W-8BEN-E or a DPA?

No. TasksBoard is published by a Swiss company and is a self-service product; invoices with your company details are available instead. See invoices, VAT details and tax forms.

Can I share a list with someone who does not use TasksBoard?

Yes. Sharing works through a link: your collaborator opens it, signs in with their Google account and joins the list. See Share lists and the Shared lists FAQ.

Does TasksBoard support repeating tasks, times or starred tasks?

Repeating tasks, due times and reminders: yes, with Premium (“Repeat & remind”). They work for tasks you configure in TasksBoard; the rule, time and reminder are kept as short lines in the task’s details so they sync with your Google account (Google’s own apps show those lines). See Set/Delete repeating tasks.

Stars: no. The Google Tasks API does not expose them, see Star task for what you can do instead. You can give tasks a priority instead.

Is there a calendar view?

Yes, with Premium: the Calendar layout of a board (in its Display menu, top right) shows that board’s tasks with a due date on a month or week grid, and “Calendar” in the sidebar shows every board’s. You can drag tasks between days. See See your tasks on a calendar.

Can I share a list as read-only?

Yes, with the Team plan: the owner sets a collaborator to Viewer, or makes new members join as viewers. See Read-only access to shared tasks.

Can TasksBoard turn an email or my notes into tasks?

Yes, with Premium: click “Create” at the top of the sidebar (or press Q), click the ✨ button, paste the text (or dictate it) and review the tasks found. Typing “Call Anna tomorrow 3pm” in a task title also sets the date. See Turn text into tasks.

Can I import tasks from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Open the board menu and choose Import tasks to bring in CSV, Excel, Numbers, ODS, text, Markdown, Google Takeout or Google Sheets files. See Import tasks.

Can I use TasksBoard with several Google accounts?

Yes. Add another account from the avatar menu and switch between them at any time. See Use several Google accounts.

Does TasksBoard store my data?

Summary: We do not store your lists and tasks at any moment. We do not share any of your data with any third party.

You can check out our Privacy page for more details on what we store exactly.

How do I delete my TasksBoard account?

TasksBoard does not store your Google Tasks. It only stores the metadata needed to share your Google Tasks and saves customizations such as list order, colors, etc.

Deleting your TasksBoard account won’t delete your Google Tasks. You will keep all your lists and tasks.

Your shared lists and shared boards won’t be synced anymore.

To completely delete your TasksBoard account, you will have to revoke the access to your Google Tasks you gave to TasksBoard and remove the metadata from our database.

You can automatically delete your metadata from our database on this page: https://tasksboard.com/deleteAccount, while signed in with the account to delete. The steps, and what to do about a subscription first, are in Account settings.
