Help / Dates, estimates and repeats

Repeat a task

Make a task come back on a schedule, or a set time after you finish it, and decide what happens to the ones you miss.

Guide

The quickest way is to type it: pay rent every month, water the plants every 3 days after completion. To set or change a repeat in detail:

  1. Open the task.
  2. In Repeat and remind, tap Repeat.
  3. Choose how it repeats, then tap Apply.

On a schedule, or after you finish

  • On a schedule follows the calendar: rent on the 1st, a meeting every Tuesday.
  • After I finish counts from the day you complete it: water the plants 3 days after you last did. These never pile up.

Patterns

Pattern For example
Daily Every day, or every 2 days.
Weekly Chosen weekdays; Weekdays and Weekends fill them in.
Monthly, on dates The 1st and the 15th. Short months use their last day.
Last day of the month Rent, invoices.
Last workday of the month Reports, payroll.
Yearly A month and a day.

Each one can repeat every 1 to 99 periods: every 2 weeks, every 3 months.

If you miss some

  • Stack them: each missed one stays until you do it. Right for bills.
  • Skip them: missed ones are forgiven and only the next shows. Right for habits.

When it ends

Never, On a date (the last one), or After a number of times. Next five shows the coming dates before you apply.

One occurrence at a time

  • Skip this occurrence: this one is skipped and the next one comes.
  • Detach this one from the series: it becomes an ordinary task.
  • Deleting asks Delete This One or Delete This and All Future.

Changing the rule of a series that has history applies from this one on; the ones already done keep the rule they had. When you complete a repeating task, the next one appears.
