Capturing work
Due dates & repeating
A due date tells you when something matters; a repeat keeps a routine from falling off your radar. Both live one tap away in a task, and overdue work is always obvious — never buried.
Setting a due date
Open a task and choose Add due date. You get a few one-tap presets for the common cases, plus an inline month calendar for anything specific. The calendar is Monday-first, the way most planning weeks read. A Clear option removes the date entirely.
- Today
- Due at the end of today.
- Tomorrow
- Rolls to the next day.
- Next Monday
- Jumps to the start of next week.
- In 7 days
- A week out from today.
- Pick a day
- Tap any date on the month calendar for something exact.
- Clear
- Removes the due date — the task simply has no date.
Overdue is obvious
A date in the past renders in red on the task row, wherever it appears. You never have to hunt for what slipped — overdue work announces itself, and Upcoming gathers it all into a single Overdue group at the top.
Repeating tasks
For anything that comes back around, set Repeat in the task. Choose a cadence — Every day, week, month, or year — and a Starts on date that anchors the schedule. From then on the task carries its own rhythm.
- Every day
- A daily routine.
- Every week
- Once a week, on the start day.
- Every month
- Monthly, on the same day of the month.
- Every year
- Comes back once a year — a renewal, a birthday.
- Starts on
- The date the cadence is measured from.
Completing a repeat spawns the next one
This is the part that makes repeats feel effortless: when you complete a recurring task, the app automatically spawns the next occurrencewith its date moved forward by the cadence. You check today’s off; tomorrow’s (or next week’s) is already waiting. No re-creating, no resetting.
- 1A weekly task — say “Water the plants” — comes due.
- 2You complete it. The completed instance settles like any other task.
- 3The next occurrence appears automatically, dated a week later, ready to come around again.
