Google Tasks alternative
A Google Tasks alternative that understands what you say
Google Tasks is a plain little list tucked inside Gmail and Calendar. Yttrium does more, in the right place: send a message on WhatsApp and it notes things down, reminds you and even tracks your bills.
| What you need to do | Yttrium | Google Tasks |
|---|---|---|
| Works inside WhatsApp | No | |
| Reminders that nudge you on their own | Limited | |
| Understands audio, photo and PDF | No | |
| Bill tracking with due-date alerts | No | |
| Shopping list that organizes itself | No | |
| Built into Gmail and Google Calendar | Partial | Better |
Comparison based on the free plans of both, as of September 2026. Google Tasks is simple, free and shows up inside Gmail and Google Calendar, which is handy if you live there.
Why people switch
Three things that come up in almost every conversation with someone who moved.
A chat, not a checklist
No Gmail or side panel to open: send a message and it notes it down.
Reminders that nudge
Google Tasks won't ping you on its own. Yttrium warns you when the time comes.
Understands voice, photos and PDFs
Send audio or a photo of a bill and it becomes a task or a bill.
Bring your tasks to where you already are
No import needed: start by sending the three things that are bugging you right now.
