Tech giant Google announced the launch of a new standalone app called Google Tasks, which will enable users to create their own to-do lists, thereby improving productivity.

Alongside the rollout of the new version of Gmail, Google's web service, the company announced the introduction of a dedicated place to create, view and edit one's task list, including those created from within the new Gmail or from Google Calendar, reported TechCrunch.
