Please add support for displaying tasks in the calendar as well. Currently, it only syncs events.

Thanks for the suggestion! There's a clear answer on this one: Google doesn't give other apps access to
its reminders and tasks through Android's on-device calendar system, which is what Niagara reads. A
separate online-only API exists, but it hasn't been updated since its release, so we don't intend to
integrate it in its current form. The details are in
Niagara's Calendar Widget, under
"Reminders/Tasks from Google Calendar don't show up".
If what you're after is tasks on your home screen at all, rather than Google Tasks specifically, the
open request with the most votes is
Pending
Tasks/Reminders in Niagara Widget (In Review, 47 votes). It isn't tied to one task app, so that's the
better place for your vote and for the way you'd use it.
just mix both next (google) appointment and next (google) task based on the time of event / task. you cannot do both atvthe same time in real life, anyways.

Sadly this is infeasible because of restrictions of the Android calendar API. See the excerpt from our help page:
Reminders/Tasks from Google Calendar don't show up.
Niagara Launcher does not support them. Unfortunately, Google doesn't provide other apps access to their reminders and tasks via the on-device Android calendar system. They provide a dedicated API, but it requires an active internet connection for synchronization, and its functionality is not as comprehensive as it appears. Furthermore, the API has not received any updates since its release; therefore, we do not intend to integrate it in its current form (see this and this issue on their tracker).

The same request was posted before and ended up Rejected, so that thread is the best record of where this stands: Also show tasks from Google in calendar.
