"Google Tables, a work-tracking tool and competitor to the popular spreadsheet-database hybrid Airtable, is shutting down. In an email sent to Tables users this week, Google said the app will not be supported after December 16, 2025, and advised that users export or migrate their data to either Google Sheets or AppSheet instead, depending on their needs. Launched in 2020, Tables focused on making project tracking more efficient with automation."
"Tables was one of those early successes: Google said in 2021 that the service was moving from a beta test to become an official Google Cloud product. At the time, the company said it saw Tables as a potential solution for a variety of use cases, including project management, IT operations, customer service tracking, CRM, recruiting, product development and more."
"Area 120, meanwhile, was the victim of a Google re-org in 2022, when the company canceled half its projects and informed staff that a reduction in force would cut the in-house R&D division to half its size. The division that remained would focus on AI projects, Google said. The following year, Area 120 was wound down amid broader layoffs, and a small handful of projects would move on to core Google product areas."
Google Tables, a work-tracking tool and competitor to Airtable, will stop being supported after December 16, 2025. Google advised users to export or migrate their data to Google Sheets or AppSheet based on needs. Launched in 2020 from Area 120, Tables emphasized project tracking efficiency through automation. Google promoted Tables in 2021 from beta to an official Google Cloud product and positioned it for use cases such as project management, IT operations, customer service tracking, CRM, recruiting, and product development. Tim Gleason created Tables and later announced retirement beginning September 2024. Area 120 experienced reorganization and shutdown in 2022–2023.
