I made a better interface for Google Tasks and I can't go back

I recently decided to try out Google Tasks as my only task management system, and while I find some things about the interface great, it really isn't suited for someone like me who has multiple lists with lots of elements on each. So, I whipped this together real fast and I can't imagine using Google Tasks without it anymore. I realized you might want it too, so I put it on the web. Enjoy :)

In plain words

This is an improved interface for Google Tasks designed for users managing multiple task lists with many items. It addresses limitations in Google's native interface that become problematic with larger task collections. The tool integrates with existing Google Tasks accounts, allowing users to organize and view their tasks more efficiently without switching task management systems entirely.

    I built a tool for repeatable checklists2024 · steplist.app · ▲117

    For a long time (after devouring Atul Gawande’s The Checklist Manifesto), I've noticed a gap in the productivity tool market—most tools don't cater well to repeatable checklists. Task managers handle one-off tasks effectively, but falter with routines. On the other hand, project management software often feels overly complex. What I wanted was in the Goldilocks Zone between Todoist and Jira. For my own personal use, I created StepList. I've used it to assist and track workouts, my daily workday, software deployment and setup, household management, and more. Over the last year I've prepared…
