    Recurring tasks

    Repeat a task, edit one occurrence or the whole series, and number titles automatically.

    Open a task and choose how it repeats: weekdays, daily, every two days, weekly, every two weeks, monthly or annually.

    Editing a series

    When you change a recurring task, choose what the change applies to:

    • This task – only this occurrence.
    • This & future – this one and everything after it. Earlier occurrences stay as they were.
    • Linked tasks – every occurrence of the series.

    Deleting works the same way: only this task, this and all future tasks, or all linked tasks.

    Numbered and rotating titles

    A recurring title can count or cycle with curly braces:

    TitleBecomes
    Chapter {1}Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3 …
    Lesson {12}Lesson 12, Lesson 13, Lesson 14 …
    Week {n}Week 1, Week 2, Week 3 …
    Page {n*10}Page 10, Page 20, Page 30 …
    Run {n+4}Run 5, Run 6, Run 7 …
    Workout {Legs|Push|Pull}Workout Legs, Workout Push, Workout Pull, Workout Legs …

    Deleting one occurrence never renumbers the others, so "Chapter 7" stays chapter 7.

    Good to know

    • Recurring tasks can't be put on a shelf.
    • Unfinished-task automation never moves a recurring task: a missed occurrence stays on its day.
