Import/Export Google Tasks to Outlook, iCalendar & Remember the Milk

Tasks Porter is a small addon application from Google that allows you to export your Google Tasks data “snapshots” in a variety of formats, such as CSV, iCalendar and HTML, which can then be easily imported by several other task managers and calendar apps, including popular desktop applications like Microsoft Outlook, and other web-based ones such as iCalendar and Remember the Milk. You can also upload an ICS or CSV file in order to import tasks from any application that supports those formats.

#. How to use Google Task Porter?

Each “snapshot” contains the full list of all your tasks at a particular point in time. When you have more than one snapshots, you can view them all by clicking on the “view snapshots” button. On the same page, you are also provided with the option to delete snapshots which you don’t want or the ones you have already downloaded.

Do note that Porter doesn’t support live syncing, so it’s best used for lists that you create and then check off without updates.

Google Tasks Porter is and open source application and is released as part of the Data Liberation Front, the same team that had earlier released Google Take Out.
