There are a couple of mobile apps on Android and iOS (e.g. GTasks) that let you manage your Google Tasks on your smart phone. GTask for Desktop is not related in any way to one of these apps. The mobile apps are developed by completely different teams. This also implies that you can’t reuse or share the license keys between the mobile apps and GTask for Desktop.

Reminders and recurring tasks where finally introduced by Google at the beginning of 2019. Google enhanced their web apps and the official Android app by introducing a selectable due time and a setting for repeating tasks. Unfortunately, Google did not introduced these features into the Tasks API that is used by foreign applications like GTask for Desktop to access tasks on the Google server. Hence, it is not possible for foreign applications to support these feature.

When GTask for Desktop ask you for a second factor code then you have enabled second factor authentication for your Google account. Depending on your Google account settings the second factor code is either send to your smart phone via SMS or you have to use Google’s Authenticator app to get the code. You can read more about that feature on the [Google Website].

We do not have the resources to translate the application into other languages then German and English. If your language is missing and you are willing to help us to translate the application then do the following:

• Go to the installation folder of GTask for Dekstop (on Windows the default is 'C:\ProgramData\GTask for Desktop')
• Create a copy of 'messages_en.properties' and 'labels_en.properties' and replace the 'en' with your language code e.g. for France 'messages_fr.properties' and 'labels_fr.properties'
• Translate the content of both files into your language
• Start the application and select your language under File -> Settings -> Language

If you send us these files then we will integrate it with the next release of GTask for Desktop.
Caution! Please create a safety copy of your files while working on it because it will be overridden when you install an application update.
