Definition: Taskade's Calendar consolidates the important dates from your workspace into one view. Every task or project with a due date appears on it, so you do not need to open each project to see what is due.
TL;DR: The Taskade Calendar shows tasks and projects that have due dates across your workspaces. Click a date cell to add a task, filter by workspace, folder, or owner, and sync with Google Calendar on a paid plan. A separate Calendar view shows a single project as a calendar.

Where Will You Find the Calendar Inside of Taskade?
Log into your Taskade account, open a workspace or folder, and click the calendar icon in the navigation menu on the left. The Calendar shows the tasks and projects that have due dates. A task with no due date does not appear, so add one first. See due dates.
Calendar vs. Calendar View
Taskade has two calendar surfaces, and they answer different questions.
| Calendar | Calendar view | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Dated items across workspaces | One project |
| Open it from | The left navigation menu | More Views in the project toolbar |
| Best for | "What is due this week?" | "How does this project fall on the calendar?" |
The Calendar view is one of the project views. It shows the same tasks as List or Board, only laid out by date. See the Calendar view guide.
How Tasks Reach the Calendar
- Add a task to a project.
- Set a due date, or type a phrase such as "tomorrow" with the
/slash command. - Open the Calendar and check that the task is there.
- Use the filter at the top to show one workspace or folder, or one task owner.
You can also start from the Calendar. Choose a date cell to add a task, and optionally pick the workspace, folder, or project it belongs to. In the Calendar view you can drag tasks between days to reschedule them.
Recurring Tasks on the Calendar
A recurring task appears once on the Calendar. When you complete it, the next occurrence appears. This is by design, so the Calendar does not fill with future copies.
Google Calendar Sync
Taskade can sync with Google Calendar in two directions. Tasks with due dates appear in Google Calendar as events, and events you add to the synced calendar appear in Taskade. Google Calendar sync needs a paid plan or an active trial. Keep these rules in mind:
- Taskade syncs one Google calendar named "Taskade". Events in your other calendars do not appear in Taskade.
- All synced folders and projects share that one calendar.
- Tasks need a due date and an assignee to appear in Google Calendar.
- Create the item in Google Calendar as an event, not a task. Google Calendar tasks do not sync.
Setup steps are in the Google Calendar two-way sync guide and the calendar integrations guide.
Common Mistakes
- Missing due dates. A task with no date never shows on the Calendar.
- Expecting every recurrence. The Calendar shows the current occurrence of a repeating task.
- Syncing the wrong Google calendar. Put events on the calendar named "Taskade".
- Confusing the two calendars. Use the left-menu Calendar for a cross-workspace view and Calendar view for one project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I open the Taskade Calendar?
Click the calendar icon in the left navigation menu of a workspace or folder. It shows the tasks and projects that have due dates across your workspaces. See the Taskade Calendar guide.
Why is my task missing from the Taskade Calendar?
The task probably has no due date. Add one, and the task appears on the Calendar. Check the workspace and owner filters too, since a filter can hide it.
How do I add a task from the Calendar?
Choose a date cell and type the task. You can optionally pick the target workspace, folder, or project so the task lands in the right place.
Can I sync Taskade with Google Calendar?
Yes, on a paid plan or an active trial. Tasks with due dates appear in a Google calendar named "Taskade", and events you create there appear in Taskade. See the sync guide.
What is the difference between the Calendar and the Calendar view?
The Calendar covers dated items across workspaces. The Calendar view lays out one project by date, and you open it from More Views. They read the same tasks.
Can I drag tasks to a new date?
Yes. In the Calendar view, drag a task between days to reschedule it without opening the task.
Can AI agents set due dates for me?
Yes. A due date set through the Taskade API or by an AI assistant over MCP lands on your synced Google calendar, the same as a typed date. A due date set by an automation action stays inside Taskade. See due dates.
What You Would Build in Taskade
Picture a content calendar app: every post is a task with an owner and a date, the Calendar shows the month, and an agent drafts each post. Describe your planning process, and Taskade Genesis builds the projects, agent, and automations around it.
