Wouldn't it be more appropriate to compare MS ToDo with Google Tasks, rather than Keep? And compare Keep to MS OneNote? Comparing Keep and ToDo is like comparing Apples to Oranges - they're both fruit but you eat them for different reasons - same with the apps. Whereas GTasks and MS ToDo would be closer to comparing say red and green apples...both fruit eaten for the same reason but tasting slightly different....
No one in their right mind would eat a green apple, they have no place in this world. On another note, I guess I think of Keep and To-Do as each company's offering of a middle-weight organizing app. GTasks is light-weight with few options and MS OneNote is a heavy-weight beast. I like the idea of comparing GTasks to MS To-Do which would mostly show that they are both list apps but To-Do has more options.
hello. I appreciate the side-by-side comparisons, especially for both desktop and mobile. between Google Keep, Google Tasks, MS Lists and MS ToDo... in all the videos I have watched it is usually mentioned that something can be added to the calendar as a "reminder". I find these reminders to be useless. I only see them if I open the calendar. I need an app that once I assign the note a date & time, I'll get a pop-up on my phone either at the specified date/time or upon arrival or departure of a location. So far the only one I have been able to find is the Samsung app "Reminder" but it has a lot of text limitations. Do you know if Keep, Tasks or ToDo has the ability to do a pop-up reminder preferably with an audible alert?
All of the mobile organizing apps would send reminders. There may be a configuration issue with your phone. Possibly you didn't give the app permission to send alerts when you installed them?
I have been trying to get MS OneNote to do checkbox items to move out when checked off like Keep does. The OneNote phone app does lists with a checkoff but the PC app doesn't show that operation. Do you know anything about that. I use Keep but recently started looking at OneNote because of its' organization of things. But I like checkbox lists alot.. Any comments?
Categorizing by lists in MS To Do isn't the only option. You can categorize tasks by adding a # (#grocery, #spending) anywhere in the task - I add it in the notes section - and it creates a clickable link that reveals all the tasks with that hashtag. This is not new; it's been around since To Do was Wunderlist.
Yeah, I tried to show what happens if you just start typing like you would probably do with most types of notes. To put in a title, you have to move the cursor out of the body where it starts.
OK, I watched all the videos and I'm confused. I have tons of notes and tasks in Microsoft To Do but I'm buying a chromebook and want everything in Google. What do you recommend? Keep? Tasks? Also, do you know how to view tasks in canvas mode?
I don't recommend one over the other. Hopefully, after watching the video, you have enough information to choose based on your needs and circumstances. Having said that, if you want to switch everything to Google, then you want to use Google Keep and/or Google Tasks. I don't know about canvas mode.
I think that's right for the intended purpose, but I use Keep as a to-do system b/c I want something heavier than tasks. Having said that, I have this video idea on my short list b/c it does seem like To Do and Tasks are more similar.

Alright, I made a video now that compares MS ToDo with Google Tasks. Hope you enjoy - ruclips.net/video/bQ23vd_DqtI/видео.html

Yeah, this boomer still hasn't warmed up to hashtags. Thanks for the tip!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it.
Perfect easy comparison.. I used both.. But now i think i will only use keep as my one go-to..
You could have just typed "grocery list" in the title field when you started. There is more than one way to start a task list.

Hi Sir
Which Company Provides the best productivity Apps is it Google or Microsoft ?
It really depends on what you're trying to get done, work or personal, and if you already using Google or MS.
Google Tasks should be compared to Microsoft To-Do, not Google Keep which is a tool for keeping your notes obviously!
I think that's right for the intended purpose, but I use Keep as a to-do system b/c I want something heavier than tasks. Having said that, I have this video idea on my short list b/c it does seem like To Do and Tasks are more similar.
Ask and you shall receive To-Do vs Tasks ruclips.net/video/bQ23vd_DqtI/видео.html
