  Upgrade your Google Tasks with kanban, timeline, and table views — without ever leaving Gmail.
  
  I built Barr 🌱 because I manage all my tasks through Google Tasks, Gmail and Calendar — but had no way to properly see or manage them. I didn't want a third-party app with overkill features in a new tab with delayed syncing, so I built Barr. I prefer to manage tasks where work already happens — in Gmail and Google Calendar. If that sounds like your day too, you'll probably like it.
  
  Every alternative meant leaving Gmail, learning a new tool, and maintaining tasks in yet another place. Barr fixes that. Click a nav entry in Gmail's left panel and your kanban board, timeline, or table loads in the main content area. Click Inbox and it's gone. No new tabs. No separate accounts. No migration. Just your tasks, finally easy to view and manage.
  
  You're up and running in 30 seconds.
  
  🌱 CORE FEATURES
  🍎 Kanban board — see all your tasks as a visual board inside Gmail. Drag and drop between columns. Customise column names, colours, and order to match your preferences.
  🍌 Timeline view — see your tasks across timescales. Tasks laid out on a date axis, grouped by list. Know what's coming, what's overdue, what needs attention — at a glance. Drag and plan.
  🍊 Lists view — your Google Tasks lists as columns, with kanban status groups within each. Drag tasks between lists and statuses without leaving the view.
  🥝 Table view — a sortable, filterable table of all your tasks. Sort by due date or title, filter by list, show or hide columns.
  
  All four views live inside Gmail. Click a nav entry in the left panel and the view loads in the main content area. No context switching.
  
  🌱 BUILT ON YOUR EXISTING GOOGLE TASKS
  Barr reads and writes your existing Google Tasks through the official Google Tasks API. Nothing to import, nothing to migrate. Works two-ways. If you uninstall Barr, your tasks are still there. No lock-in.
  
  🌱 DESIGNED TO FEEL NATIVE
  Every colour, font, spacing, and interaction follows Google's own design language. It doesn't look like an extension — it looks like a feature that should have been there all along.
  
  🌱 FREE
  Barr is free and I'm actively building more: enriched task fields, Gantt view, and shared team boards are coming.  I'm a solo developer and I move fast. If something's missing that you need, please tell me — I read every message.

  I built Barr because I needed better task management inside Gmail — without switching to yet another app. If that sounds like your day too, you'll probably like it.
  
  Google Tasks is useful — until you need more. There's no visual overview, no way to see deadlines across time, no kanban board. But switching to a full project management tool like Asana, ClickUp or Monday just to manage your tasks feels like overkill. I prefer to plan work where work already happens — in Gmail and Google Calendar.
  
  So I built Barr to fill that gap. It adds kanban, timeline, lists, and table views directly into Gmail — so your tasks stay exactly where your work already lives. No new tabs. No separate logins. No migration. Up and running in 30 seconds.
  
  CORE FEATURES
  • Kanban board — see all your tasks as a visual board inside Gmail. Drag and drop between columns. Customise column names, colours, and order to match your preferences.
  • Timeline view — see your taks across timescales. Tasks laid out on a date axis, grouped by list. Know what's coming, what's overdue, what needs attention — at a glance. Drag and plan.
  • Lists view — your Google Tasks lists as columns, with kanban status groups within each. Drag tasks between lists and statuses without leaving the view.
  • Table view — a sortable, filterable table of all your tasks. Sort by due date or title, filter by list, show or hide columns.
  
  All four views live inside Gmail. Click a nav entry in the left panel and the view loads in the main content area. Click Inbox and it disappears. No context switching.
  
  BUILT ON YOUR EXISTING GOOGLE TASKS
  Barr reads and writes your existing Google Tasks through the official Google Tasks API. Nothing to import. Works two-ways. If you uninstall Barr, your tasks are still there, exactly as you left them. No lock-in.
  
  DESIGNED TO FEEL NATIVE
  Every colour, font, spacing, and interaction pattern follows Google's own design language. It doesn't look like an extension — it looks like a feature that should have been there all along.
  
  MORE TO COME
  I'm actively building more — enriched task fields, Gantt view, dependencies, and shared team boards are on the roadmap. This is early, and it's getting better fast.
  I'm a solo developer and I move quickly. If something's missing that you need, tell me — I read every message and I'll prioritise accordingly.
  
  FREE
  Barr is free, and there will always be a generous free tier — that's a promise.
  If this gets real traction, I'll put more time, energy, and money into building more powerful features. That's when paid plans would make sense. But early users will always be taken care of when that happens.

  Upgrade your Google Tasks with kanban, timeline, and table views — without ever leaving Gmail.
