Recurring Todos
Recurring Todos
Section titled “Recurring Todos”Overview
Section titled “Overview”Set a recurrence rule for periodic todos. The system automatically generates a new todo (regular todo, schedule, or countdown) when triggered.
Typical use cases:
- Bi-weekly team meeting
- Payday on the 1st of every month
- Annual lunar birthday reminder
Important Mechanism
Section titled “Important Mechanism”⚠️ A recurring todo is a rule — it does not directly create todos on the calendar upfront.
Triggering a recurring todo requires the client to be running. This is a design choice to avoid generating excessive todos when the app is not in use for a long period.
Recurrence Rule Types
Section titled “Recurrence Rule Types”| Rule Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Every N days | Repeats every N days (e.g., every 3 days) |
| Every N weeks | Repeats every N weeks (e.g., every 2 weeks) |
| Every N months | Repeats every N months (e.g., every 1 month) |
| Every N years | Repeats annually on a Gregorian calendar date (e.g., every July 6) |
| Lunar annually | Repeats annually on a lunar calendar date, ideal for birthdays (e.g., every Lunar Jan 10) |
Set an End Date
Section titled “Set an End Date”You can set an end date for a recurring todo. Once the end date is reached, no new todos will be generated.
Auto-Apply Tags on Creation
Section titled “Auto-Apply Tags on Creation”When creating a recurring todo, you can set auto-apply tags (supported on Windows desktop) for easier categorization.
