tasks-vizzy

tasks-vizzy is a small personal utility that reads one person's own Google Tasks list and passes tasks tagged with the word Vizzy to that person's own assistant.

It is not a product, not a service, and not open for sign-ups. It runs on one machine, for one Google account, operated by the person who built it.

What it does

1. Every few minutes it asks the Google Tasks API for the tasks in the operator's default task list.
2. It selects the ones whose title or notes contain the word Vizzy.
3. It prints those tasks, on the operator's own machine, for their own assistant to act on.
4. It remembers which tasks it has already printed, so nothing is sent twice.

That is the whole program.

What it cannot do

• It cannot change anything. The only Google permission it holds is https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks.readonly — read-only access to Google Tasks. It cannot create, edit, complete or delete a task, and it asks for no other permission: no email, no calendar, no contacts, no files, no profile information.
• It cannot act for anyone else. It holds credentials for exactly one account, granted by that account's owner, stored on that owner's machine.

Who runs it

One person, for themselves. Contact: lewis.rn.marshall@gmail.com.

Privacy

See the privacy policy. The short version: task data is read on the operator's own machine, is not sent anywhere else, and is never sold.
