What Our Users Say

See how ReminderBridge helps Mac users sync Google Tasks and Apple Reminders—without subscriptions or browser tabs.

" As an Apple user, I’m a big fan of the latest Reminders updates. I recently switched over to using Gemini as my primary AI platform because of the Google Workspace integration, and was excited to be able to use the Workspace connections within Gemini. Unfortunately, Google Tasks don’t sync with Apple Reminders, so I was looking for a simple solution to keep these in sync, and this tool does the trick! Looking forward to hearing that “hiding menu bar icon” and “launch at login” are on the roadmap, as those are my only two requests! "

" So simple, but somehow no one solved for this issue yet. If you use a Mac and your business is on Google Workspace, then this app is invaluable. "

- fakebizprez (Mac App Store US)

" So if you search for a way to sync google tasks to apple reminders and vice versa, your searches will lead you to websites with offers such as annual subs for applets and api calls between a bunch of apps. I only wanted this functionality. The app does it. Happy camper. Voila! "
