I almost can’t believe it, but Google Tasks is finally kind of good (www.theverge.com)

For years, Google's to-do list app Tasks was poorly integrated and underdeveloped. Recently, Google has combined all their reminder products into a single Google Tasks app that is accessible across Google products. While still lacking some advanced features, Google Tasks' simplicity and integration make it easy to add tasks and see reminders across Gmail, Calendar and Assistant. The author enjoys being able to say "What are my tasks today?" to Assistant and have tasks show up in Calendar. However, the author notes that Tasks still does not integrate well with multiple Google accounts.

I've been using obsidian+ Syncthing and it's working nicely for me in place of google keep in case you want to switch later on

I've been doing the exact same! It's so great especially with the plugins. I learned about Syncthing because I didn't want to pay for Obsidian Sync, and now I use it for a bunch of things

exactly!! Syncthing is really awesome. I sync all my schoolwork between all devices and always have access to the latest version of my stuff

I've tried Obsidian before, but it's just too complex compared to keep for me
