Google Keep reminders now migrating to Google Tasks

Listen to article

Google has started rolling out its previously announced migration of Google Keep reminders to Google Tasks, with the change now appearing on some accounts ahead of a wider release targeted for the second half of 2025. Users who are included in the rollout will see a prompt stating “Reminders are now Google Tasks” inside the Keep app.

Once enabled, tapping the bell icon in a Keep note will create a reminder that is saved directly to Google Tasks, with the familiar quick options for tomorrow morning, tomorrow evening, next week, or a custom date and time. These reminders will show up in the Google Tasks app and in Google Calendar, labeled as “From Keep,” and tapping the badge will open the associated note for quick reference.

However, one key feature is being removed: location-based reminders. Google Tasks does not support Home, Work, or custom place-based alerts, so existing location data from Keep reminders is instead moved into the task description. Keep also stops sending reminder notifications; alerts are now handled by Calendar or Tasks, so users need those apps installed to continue receiving reminders.

Google Keep still shows a Reminders page in its navigation drawer, and users can manage date and time from Keep, Tasks, or Calendar, although editing a reminder title must be done in Tasks or Calendar. Google also notes some limitations in the migration, such as a 100,000 task cap, truncation for very long reminder titles, adjustments for extremely long repeat intervals, and very distant dates being normalized to the year 2900. Older, non-repeating reminders more than a year old are grouped into an “Old Google Keep Reminders” list.
