Task Recurrence

When you set a task to repeat, you’re actually creating a Template. It’s not the task itself, but rather a rule that tells the app to automatically generate new tasks in the future.

The Template is the «master copy» of your task with recurrence settings. You can recognize it in the task list by the repeat icon to the left of its name.

An Instance is a specific, real task created according to that rule for a certain date. It has a regular checkbox ☐ on the left.

The app automatically creates up to 60 upcoming instances (no more than 2 years ahead), and you can view them in the Plans and Calendar sections.

Editing: What’s the Difference?

This is the most important part when working with recurring tasks:

• Editing a specific task instance (for example, changing the date or renaming it) affects only that instance — it does not modify the template or other future tasks.
• Editing the recurrence template applies to all future instances that haven’t been created yet, as well as existing incomplete ones that haven’t been manually edited. Instances that were modified manually will keep their individual parameters and won’t be updated when the template changes.

How to Find, Edit, and Hide a Template

• Find: If you see only a task instance, click it and select «Go to template».
• Edit: Once you’ve located the template, open its recurrence settings using any of the methods described above.
• Hide: To hide templates from the task list, enable this option in settings. You can find it here:

  Menu " → «Settings» → «General Settings» → «Hide recurring task templates in projects».

  Settings " → «General» → «Hide recurring task templates in projects».

The context menu of a task instance includes the option «Delete template and all its tasks». When you choose this action, both the template and all its related recurring tasks — future and existing instances — will be deleted.

Before choosing a recurrence interval type, note two general settings that apply to all recurrence modes:

In the settings window, there’s an option called «Create a new one only after the previous one is completed.»

• If the box is unchecked (default): The app will immediately create all future task instances (up to 60 recurrences ahead), and you’ll see them in the Plans and Calendar sections.
• If the box is checked: The app will create only the next instance. A new task will appear only after you complete the previous one. This helps keep your calendar uncluttered, but with this setting, you won’t see future instances in your schedule.

For any interval, you can also specify:

1. Start and end time of the task.
2. Start date of recurrences.
3. End condition: never, after a certain number of repetitions, or on a specific date.

Daily

Recurrence with a day interval. The default is “1 day”, but you can set any value up to 100.

Example: “Water the plants” every 3 days.

Weekly

Here you can set a recurrence interval in weeks and select specific weekdays.

Example 1: “Weekly report” repeating every 1 week on Fridays.

Example 2: “Workout” repeating every 2 weeks on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Monthly

A flexible mode with multiple options:

• Repeat by date: Specify exact days of the month (e.g., 15 and 25).
• Repeat by weekday: Set a recurrence for a specific weekday of the month (e.g., every second Wednesday).
• Repeat on the last day of the month: To make the task always appear on the last day of the month (28, 29, 30, or 31), select the 31st. The app will automatically adjust the date.
• Repeat on the last weekday of the month: Select a weekday (e.g., Saturday) and choose “Last” instead of the week number.

Example: “Pay rent” on the 25th of each month or “Deep cleaning” on the last Saturday of each month.

Yearly

Similar to the monthly recurrence, but with a yearly interval. You can select specific dates or weekdays.

Example: “Send birthday greetings” on April 10 every 1 year.
