Mobile tips
On web/desktop: Right-click → Date → Pick date… → Repeat tab.
When repeating helps
Some tasks come back on a rhythm: submit the timesheet every Friday, pay rent monthly, water the plants every few days. Recreating them by hand wastes effort and you will forget one eventually. A repeat rule creates the next instance for you.
Repeat, duplicate or habit?
| Tool | Best for |
|---|---|
| Repeat (Premium) | Tasks that return on a schedule and have a date |
| Habit | Daily or weekly routines tracked with streaks |
| Duplicate | One-off copies when you decide |
A worked example
Create "Submit weekly timesheet" with a due date on Friday, open Repeat, and choose a weekly cycle. When you mark it done, the next Friday's instance is created. Add a reminder so each one pings you on time.
Editing and stopping
Open the task and change or turn off the repeat in the same form. Do this when a routine ends, so old tasks do not keep appearing.
Free alternative
Repeat is Premium. On the Free plan, create a habit for daily things, or duplicate the task when needed.
Common mistakes
- Repeating a task you never finish. Repeats multiply the problem; fix the task first.
- Using repeat for habits that need streaks. A habit tracks consistency better.
