How to Find Migrated Google Keep Reminders in Tasks

Google Keep reminders now live in Tasks. Find the From Keep label, the Old Google Keep Reminders list, and turn notifications back on.

A Keep note that used to ping you at 9 a.m. can go quiet after Google moves that reminder into Tasks. The note is still there. The alert is not, unless Calendar or the Tasks app is allowed to notify you.

Google started saving Keep reminders as tasks in October 2025, for Workspace accounts and personal Google accounts. New time-based reminders you set in Keep are tasks from that point on. This guide shows where the old ones landed, how to open the original note, and which edits stick.

Where the reminder went

Google Tasks Help says Keep reminders migrated in the second half of 2025. You can view, edit, and complete them from Calendar, Gemini, Keep, and Tasks. Workspace Updates published the same change on 14 October 2025: existing date and time reminders are saved to Tasks so one list covers Keep, Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Docs, and Gemini.

That is a product move, not a deleted note. The Keep card stays. The due time is a task linked back to it.

Two labels matter when you hunt for an old ping:

Task details show From Keep. Select that link to open the original note.
Non-repeating reminders older than a year land in a list named Old Google Keep Reminders, not your default list.

Pending tasks from the last 365 days also show in the All-day section of Calendar for the current day.

Open Tasks on your phone and on the web

Use the same Google account that owns the Keep notes. A work profile and a personal account do not share this list.

Android or iPhone

Install or open the Google Tasks app.
Check the account avatar. Switch if you see the wrong inbox.
Open the list menu and look for Old Google Keep Reminders if a dated note from last year is missing.
Open a task and read the details. From Keep is the proof it came from a note.
Tap From Keep to jump back to the note.

Computer

Open Google Calendar or Gmail.
Open the side panel and choose Tasks (the check-mark icon).
Scan the calendar grid for the old reminder time. Tasks with a date appear there.
Open the task. Confirm From Keep, then follow the link.

Gemini can also see these items through the Tasks connection, which is why Workspace Updates mentioned asking Gemini about them. If Gemini says it cannot see tasks, check that the Tasks app connection is on in Gemini settings before you blame the migration.

If you still capture notes from the home screen, the Google Keep note collection widget is a separate control. It shows note cards. It does not replace the Tasks notification.

Turn notifications back on

Google is explicit: you no longer get reminder notifications from Keep. Install Calendar or Tasks, then allow notifications for that app.

On Android:

Open Settings, then Apps, then Tasks (or Calendar).
Open Notifications and allow them.
In the Tasks app, confirm reminder alerts are on. Google documents this under Manage Google Tasks notification settings.

On iPhone, allow notifications for Tasks or Calendar in iOS Settings. A Keep-only setup will stay silent even when the task date is correct.

Do a test. Create a Keep note, set a reminder two minutes ahead, and wait. The banner should come from Tasks or Calendar, not from Keep.

Edit, complete, and know the limits

Not every field edits in the same place. Google’s help page splits it like this:

Change the date or time on the Keep note, or in task details in Tasks or Calendar.
Change the reminder title in Tasks or Calendar. Renaming only the Keep note does not rename the reminder.
Mark it complete from the mobile notification, the Keep note, or task details.

Other rules that catch people:

Location reminders are gone. You cannot create them, and you will not get a place-based alert. Open the migrated task and read the description if you need the old place text.
The account cap is 100,000 tasks. If Keep reminders exceed that, the oldest ones do not migrate.
A very long Keep reminder title is shortened after the move.
Calendar caps a repeat interval at 1,000 days, weeks, months, or years. A 2,000-day repeat is rewritten to 1,000.
Dates past the year 3000 are adjusted to 2900.

Work and school accounts need the Tasks service turned on. If an admin has Tasks off, reminder data does not migrate. Suspended Workspace licenses are also skipped. If the organization allows Google Takeout, export reminders before any deletion window your admin sets.

The Google Workspace clip above shows the older Keep reminder flow for deadlines. After the Tasks move, that same date still starts in Keep, but the alert and the cross-app list live in Tasks.

Practical checks before you recreate everything

Do not rebuild the list by hand until you have looked in both places.

Search Tasks for a distinctive word from the note title.
Open Old Google Keep Reminders before you assume a 2024 item vanished.
On Calendar, check All-day for today if the item was pending in the last year.
Confirm the Google account. A reminder set on a school account will not appear in a personal Tasks app.
If you share notes inside chats, that is a different Keep feature. Shared lists in Messages are covered in Google Keep notes inside Messages. They are not the reminder migration.

For a new reminder, keep using Keep if that is where the text lives. Set the date on the note. Then confirm the task appeared, and that Tasks or Calendar can notify. That two-step check avoids a silent deadline.

Conclusion

Keep did not delete your dated notes. Google moved the reminder record into Tasks, labelled it From Keep, and stopped sending the ping from Keep itself. Open Tasks or Calendar with the right account, check the old-reminders list, allow notifications, and edit titles in Tasks if a rename in Keep did not stick.

Once that path is clear, new reminders can stay in Keep while the alert stays in Tasks. That split is the whole change.
