Clip for Google Tasks

About

Save any web page selection to Google Tasks in one click — with a deep link back to the exact passage.

Clip for Google Tasks is the fastest way to send text from any web page into your Google Tasks account. Right-click selected text on any site, send it to your Tasks list as a new task, and never lose the source again — every clip includes a scroll-to-text deep link that reopens the page exactly where the passage was.

• Knowledge workers collecting follow-ups from articles, docs, and emails

• Anyone who already lives inside Google Tasks and wants a faster web clipper

HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Select any text on any web page
2. Right-click → "Clip to Google Tasks"
3. Edit the title, add notes, pick a due date and a destination list
4. Click Send — the task lands in your Google Tasks instantly
5. Open the task later — the deep link scrolls you right back to the source passage

PERMISSIONS, JUSTIFIED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• contextMenus — to add the "Clip to Google Tasks" item to the right-click menu
• identity — to obtain a Google OAuth token for the Tasks API
• storage — to remember your default list and due-date preferences
• https://www.googleapis.com/* — to call the Google Tasks REST API

WHY IT MATTERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Google Tasks is a beautifully simple to-do list inbox, but capturing context from the web usually means copying text, switching tabs, pasting, and losing the source URL along the way. Clip for Google Tasks compresses all of that into a single right-click, and the scroll-to-text deep link means you are always one click away from the original passage — even months later.

If you are a Google Tasks power user, a web researcher, a writer juggling sources, or simply someone who wants a frictionless capture inbox for the web, this extension is for you.
