Google Tasks is now supported as an app inside Kiwi.

This new release enables individuals to access documents, plugins, messages, events, Google Drive and more with a single click."

Kiwi for Gmail offers monthly and yearly subscription options; for a limited time, new customers can save 25% off the premium plan, which is $25.50 per year or $2.25 per month. The basic plan, which is limited to only one Gmail account, is free.
