Tasks

Set a due date

I want to …

… give a task a due date, from the card or from the detail screen.

Date, priority, estimate, checklist, and recurrence are locked on the free plan. Pro, Ultra, or the trial unlock them.
If the module is off on the task, Due date shows as a chip with a plus icon on the task, below the description.

On the board: tap the date field on the card. If it is hidden, hover the card or press it until the quick fields appear.
Choose Today, Tomorrow, Next week, a date via Pick a date, or Clear date.
On the detail screen: the Due date row sits in the panel below the description. Tap the row and pick a date in the calendar. Without a date it shows Pick a date.
The trash icon on the right (Clear date) clears the date. The module stays on.
If the row is missing, tap the Due date chip with a plus icon below the panel (Enable Due date). On Free the chip shows a lock and opens Choose your plan.
The cross (✕) at the far right of the row (Delete) turns the module off after a confirmation. On a computer it appears as soon as the mouse is over the row.
Overdue cards are marked Overdue.

The date sits on the card and on the task. You can change or clear it from the same menu at any time.

Why does the Due date chip lead to pricing?

Task modules belong to Pro and Ultra. On Free the chip shows a lock and only points the way there.

Is the date a reminder?

Zeitlicht does not send an extra email. The date is a visible field on the board and the card.
