Taskwarrior now syncs with Google Calendar and Keep — but only if you’re willing to spend hours in the terminal, hand-craft OAuth tokens, and trust a third-party library that asks for your Google password. The integration isn’t baked into Taskwarrior. It’s not offered by Google. And it doesn’t auto-sync.
It’s a fragile, manual bridge built by developers who prefer tw add 'Buy milk' due:tomorrow over clicking through a web UI, and who’ve accepted that syncing means running tw_gcal_sync every time they want their terminal tasks to appear on calendar.google.com. The setup requires a Google Cloud project, API enablement, client secrets, cookie extraction from browser dev tools, and environment variables set with tokens that gkeepapi warns have full access to your Google account.
One-way sync works reliably: add a task tagged remindme in Taskwarrior, run the command, and it shows up in Calendar. Keep sync is shakier. The How-To Geek reporter got tasks from Taskwarrior into a single Keep note, but items created in Keep failed to land back in Taskwarrior due to date parsing errors and missing pass folder configurations.
