Set up a recurring task

I want to …

… have a task come back on its own, daily, on chosen weekdays, monthly, or yearly.

Before you start

Here's how

1. Open the task. Recurrence is a row in the panel below the description. If it is missing, tap the Recurrence chip with a plus icon below the panel (Enable Recurrence).
2. While no column is chosen, the row is expanded. Otherwise tap the row or the arrow on the right to expand or collapse it.
3. Under Move to column, pick where the card should go when it is due – often Today or Week.
4. Under Interval choose Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
5. For Weekly, tap the weekdays on which it should return.
6. For Monthly, pick the day of the month. Shorter months use the last day.
7. For Yearly, set the month and day.
8. Every change saves right away. Collapsed, the row sums it all up, for example Weekly · Mon, Thu · Next: Sep 17, 2026. Without a column it shows Choose a column and interval.
9. If someone has the task in focus when the run happens, it stays where it is. The next date still advances. Checklists reset once the card actually moves.
10. The cross (✕) at the far right of the row (Delete) turns recurrence off after a confirmation.
