FAQ

Please see below for answers to common questions about GTaskD.

  • Where can I get send questions/ideas/bug reports/recommendations/feedback/etc.?
    • Soon I’ll be setting up a site where users can submit ideas for GTaskD, and everyone will be able to vote on the best ones to help me know where to focus my development efforts. If you can, please wait until that site is set up, but if you have something that can’t wait, please simply send them to my email at the bottom of this page.
  • How much does GTaskD cost?
    • Currently GTaskD is supported by donations from users like you. With Google Tasks’ Canvas interface disappearing sometime in early 2019, I wanted to get an early version out so we would all have a replacement for when it’s gone. Depending on how donations go, it’s possible I’ll be moving to some sort of paid or “freemium” model in the future. Whatever direction that takes, I’m going to keep GTaskD as cheap as I reasonably can.

GTaskD is one of two major “fake” jobs I have in addition to my full-time real job. I’m also married, and we have a newborn as of May 2019. That all said, it’s likely it will take me some time to get back to you (days or weeks), but feel free to shoot me an email at support (at) gtaskd (dot) com.
