Nozbe’s main goal has always been to help you get more done. Not “mange more” or “schedule more” but literally, “get more done”.
With this objective in mind we always tried to keep our Nozbe Calendar as minimalistic as possible, to make sure you can quickly review your deadlines or commitments.
In Full Sync with Google Calendar
We kept our calendar minimalistic because we knew there are better calendars out there and our favorite has always been the Calendar from Google. Up until yesterday we only introduced one-way syncing with Gcal through an industry standard iCal file.
It was OK, but it was far from being a perfect solution… so today we’re introducing full Google Calendar sync for you to enjoy:
Just go to Nozbe Calendar and authorize Google
Once you’ve done that, a “Nozbe” calendar will be added to your Google Calendar account and you’ll be able to see all of your Nozbe scheduled tasks right there in Gcal… and edit them!
Edit or Add new Nozbe scheduled tasks in Gcal
That’s right, you can add scheduled actions in Nozbe on in Google Calendar – it doesn’t matter where you do it, they’ll add to both places anyway.
You can edit them, too! We’re even adding information on project and contexts in the “Description” section of the Calendar event, so you can edit them here, too.
Schedule your actions and get them done today!
We’re working on more integrations for you to enjoy – after Evernote sync, Google Calendar sync was the next logical step, but there is more to come, so stay tuned!

Success! I just figured out what was missing. I followed the guidance from http://gigaom.com/apple/ipad-quick-tip-enabling-multiple-google-calendars/. Boiled down to this for me:
1. Set up CalDav account on iPad/iPhone by choosing Other (rather than Gmail).
2. Go to www.google.com/calendars/iPhoneselect on my iPad.
3. Select the Nozbe calendar and save.
Nozbe events now showing on my iPad.
I have the same issue. Can see entries through Google but not on my iPad. This is limiting because my iPad pulls together my personal calendar, work calendar and actions. Is there a solution? Looks like the capability has been available over a year but this particular issue persists.
Can’t get Nozbe to sync to the Calendar app on iPad. Very frustrating! It syncs to the online Google Calendar fine, but events added from Nozbe don’t appear in the iPad’s calendar at all. =( =(
Still not working for me ( disabled and enabled it, didn’t help)
Repeating events in GCal only appear for first date in Nozbe, no future dates.
Same here… when I put times with dates… some other events in the Google calendar are deleted
Google apps user. A Nozbe calendar appears, but is not populated with any events. Note that I am only using dates and not times with my Nozbe actions
Only a few actions show up on my Google calendar, despite the fact that all of them do show up in the Nozbe app.
Tried it… Nozbe shows up as a calendar, but adding appointments doesn’t work. gcal says the appointment was added, but it shows up on neither the google calendar interface nor the Nozbe interface.
As of 9/8/2010 still not working. Nozbe does not appear as a calendar in Google.
Hmm, I’m not getting future entries to show up in the Google Calendar either (added one in Google Calendar now). It does show up in Nozbe though.
+1 for John Carle’s suggestion above….I am getting duplicates because I mark done in nozbe but it stays open in google calendar and re adds it to my nozbe account…doesn’t save much time if everytime I mark something done I have to remember to delete it from google. (And if you delete it at the wrong time, it erases the completed task in nozbe all together which reduces the integrity of tracking items that have already been done.)
Am also curious why google calendar will not display Nozbe items with a date prior to the current date? Any ideas?
Thanks for getting the apps integration working.
Yes! I second John Carle’s #3 suggestion. It would also be nice to attach a web link to an action item, a la Evernote.
While I’m at it, I have a few other “dreams” for Nozbe, and since you’re reading this thread Michael… i thought I’d spew them out here.
1. The ability to email attachments into Nozbe.
2. A way to sync with Google Tasks, not just calendar
3. A more “ipad-esque” look for Nozbe on the web
4. Blackberry integration.
That’s about it. Thanks Michael, for making such a terrific program. We all really appreciate it.
To get it working on my Apps account, I sync it with my regular Gmail account, them subscribe to that calendar in my Google Apps account. It’s an extra step, but works perfectly.

You’re almost there my man… next step? It would be great to mark a task completed in GCal. Perhaps by putting an exclamation mark at the beginning of the task name from GCal? I’m just saying… LOL
I love this feature — but I am having the same problem Jan Buskens noted above. Completed actions are not removed from the Google Calendar. Moreover, if I do not delete the action manually from the Google calendar, it re-appears as an incomplete item in Nozbe. Can this be fixed?
Thanks, Michael! The responsiveness of your team is always a positive thing.
Thanks for the heads up everyone!
Google Apps support is coming next week… and in the forthcoming weeks we’ll do a much deeper Google Apps integration, so stay tuned!
As to the notifications, we’ll check if we can add this as well next week.
Again, thanks everyone – we never expected this feature to be such a killer feature for everyone but all seem to love it – and we’ll keep on improving it!
Great News! But… Google Cal Default Notification can not set? Task by Nozbe does not have Default Notification by Google Calender.
Go to the user forum and look for the thread Does new Google Calendar Sync work with Apps accounts? This is under the main topic “Bug Reports and Problems” There is a pretty simple work around listed there.
Apps!!!!:)
another apps user here too
I have a Goggle Apps calendar as well…
Great feature… works perfectly…
But what I mis is that when I complete a task in Nozbe, it should be removed from my Google calendar. Now I have to complete them in Nozbe and delete them manually from Google calendar.
Just in case you needed another prompt, I would like it to link with Google Apps to. There doesn’t seem to be a way to tell it about my Apps account, rather than my personal gmail one.
Teriffic! Working fine. Thank you
Google Accounts is having problems, not just for apps at the moment. It’s not nozbe. When you try and connect a nozbe account to Google Accounts it doesn’t work, but I’m also trying to update some stuff on Google Accounts for flickr and a few other services – and that’s not working either.
Another Apps user here too.
Have problems with Google Apps Cal also :)
I’m sorry, I meant to say, it does NOT show up in G-Apps calender, thanks again. love the product.
I’m also a Google Apps user and the calender does not sync; it does show up in Google Apps calender. Thank you!
Another vote for Google Apps support. Not working for me, either.
THANK YOU!!! Great feature. I have been a Nozbe user for years now and you just keep improving the base product – keep up the great work
Same question for me regarding Google Apps calendar (not the free gmail one). The sign in did not like my domain which is hosted by Google.
Same problem here since yesterday….google apps, signed in when connect via sync, no nozbe calendar appears….
Now thats a cool feature :) Unfortunately, i didn’t get that to work with my Google Apps Account after a short while of trying. Within Nozbe it seems ok (telling me thats in sync with my Google Calendar) but the “Nozbe” Calendar doesn’t show up… Any ideas?
Great news! Will sync work with Google Apps calendars too?
