Run Google Tasks on Your Menu Bar

http://www.suberapps.com/2009/02/04/run-google-tasks-on-your-menu-bar/#tb

As you might already know, Google recently gave GTD fans some lovin’ by optimizing Google’s “Tasks” for iPhone and Android. (read more from Google’s Blog) Wouldn’t it be nice if you can also run Google Tasks on your Mac as a menu bar item with the same sleek interface you see on the iPhone or Android? If you had read my previous post on the “Fluid” app, you’ll know by now how you can turn web apps into a native desktop app. Using Fluid with Google Tasks means a free GTD native desktop app on your Mac that syncs with the cloud.

Here’s how:



1) Download Fluid app


2) Install and launch Fluid

Type in this URL in the URL field - http://mail.google.com/tasks/iphone
Type any name you want in the Name field.
Create the app!

3) Convert to MenuExtra SSB

Go to the Google Tasks menu after you have successfully created the app, select “Convert to MenuExtra SSB…” to put Google Tasks on your menu bar.

Now you have Google Tasks natively on your Mac as a menu bar item!


By the way, this tip is also possible with other web apps, especially if they have an iPhone optimized version:

Have fun!
