【Cute Devil】

Called Tasks,Cute Devil the app integrates with your Gmail inbox to make managing your to-do list easier.

Tasks, which is available for iOS and Android, is deceptively simple: you can create lists of to-do items and check them off once they're completed.

But the real power of the service is when you use it directly from your inbox. With the new Gmail design, you can opt to add something to your tasks without ever navigating away from the message

Instead, your task list appears in a sidebar to the right of your email. From there, you can add extra details, like dates and sub-tasks.

Unfortunately, you can't add times or use more advanced features, like priority ranking, common in other apps. (It's likely Google plans to add more features over time, though.)

But, despite its flaws, the Tasks app has powerful thing going for it: it's at fingertips every time you read your email. And that already makes it much easier to ensure your most important items get on your list in the first place.
