Tasks

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

  • Recurrence belongs to Pro and Ultra.
  • Pick a target column that is not Focus and not Done.
  • The run happens around 00:05 Europe/Berlin.

Here's how

  1. Open the task and the Recurrence block. If it is missing, Enable Recurrence.
  2. Under Move to column, pick where the card should go when it is due – often Today or Week.
  3. Under Interval choose Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
  4. For Weekly, tap the weekdays on which it should return.
  5. For Monthly, pick the day of the month. Shorter months use the last day.
  6. For Yearly, set the month and day.
  7. Save. The Next: line shows the next run.
  8. If the task sits in Focus when the run happens, it stays there. The next date still advances. Checklists reset once the card actually moves.

The result

On the chosen days the due task moves to the top of the target column, completion clears, and checklists open again.

Common questions

Does it create a new copy?

No. It is the same task. It moves back and resets.

Can the target column be Focus?

No. Focus and Done are not offered.
