II. Summary/Overview

   Google Keep is migrating its reminder system to Google Tasks in the second half of 2025. This means reminders created in Keep will be saved as Tasks and accessible across Calendar, Keep, Tasks, and Gemini.
   The migration aims to consolidate reminder functionality within the Google ecosystem.
   Key changes include the handling of notifications, editing capabilities, and the removal of location-based reminders.
   There are limitations and edge cases to be aware of regarding task limits, long reminders, pending tasks, repeating tasks, and tasks with dates far in the future.
