The tree view provides an intuitive hierarchical display of your task lists and individual tasks.

Integrate your tasks with Google Calendar to see your tasks alongside your calendar events. View tasks with due dates in a calendar context, helping you plan your day more effectively. This integration uses the official Google Calendar API v3 to ensure compatibility and reliability.

When creating or editing tasks, a simple date selection UI allows you to set due dates easily. The extension handles date formatting and synchronization with Google Tasks, ensuring your due dates are consistent across all your devices.

Any changes you make in the extension are immediately synced with your Google Tasks account. Similarly, if you update tasks on other devices, the extension will reflect those changes. This ensures you're always working with the most current task data.

Authentication is handled securely using Google's OAuth 2.0 protocol. Your credentials are never stored on your device or transmitted to third parties. The extension only receives an access token during your session, which is used to interact with the Google Tasks and Calendar APIs.
