✅ Add Recurring Tasks from Calendar Companion Bar

🤔 What is it?

  • You can now add recurring Google Tasks from the Companion Bar in Google Calendar
  • Previously you could only add recurring tasks in Calendar view, which would annoy many people since it took up a “time slot” without being an actual event

🤷🏻 When should I use this?

  • If you’re not a fan of having Tasks show up in your calendar view (because you need an extra second of brain power to process it’s not actually an event) you should create recurring tasks directly from the Companion Bar

📸 Visual Walkthrough

Previously, you could only create recurring tasks straight from the calendar view
Now, in the companion bar, you can click on "Date/time" to select recurring time and dates
This "Repeat" button has just launched for the majority of Google Calendar users
Now your recurring tasks won't take up any space in your Calendar view

⌨️ Keyboard shortcut

  • With a task selected in the Companion bar, “CMD+UP” or “CMD+DOWN” to quickly move it up or down the list
  • Bonus: With an existing task selected, “CMD+ENTER” to quickly create a new Task
