Can U suggest a feature that I’ve been looking for in a TODO app for a long time. Tasks that are periodic but not urgent. Like changing the filters on your heating system every 6 months, adding fertilizer to the garden every 3 months, etc. Then when you have some time to spare you can easily see these kinds of tasks that you normally forget.

Yes! This is definitely one of the types of problems this app is meant to solve. We just launched, but features like repeating tasks are on their way.

I assumed this was a common feature, but I just use Google Assistant to do this. "Remind me to change my filters every 6 months at 10 AM."

I think my longest term reminder is for renewing my secondary citizenship passport (~10 years I think), though I do have this backed up with a Google Calendar event just in case.

My problem with this kind of calendar reminder is, if I don't act on it immediately, it's gone forever and I notice it, at best, next time it's "time" to change the furnace filter.

It would be super helpful to me to have a calendar reminder that succinctly said "you said you wanted to do this every 6 months, and now it's 23 days overdue" (and then when I finally do the thing, schedule the next one for 6 months after that day, not 6 months after I was supposed to do it in the first place).

Various "habit tracker" apps do this pretty well, but they don't fit in with my calendar.

org-mode with its agenda does this beautifully. But then that only really runs in emacs.

Usually I get the notification for this thing, and I never get rid of the notification until I act on it

This gets close but I don’t think it will then allow you to easily see which of these periodic tasks you can work when you have a few hours to spare today.

[ZeroCool2u]

Yeah, that's fair, I usually don't look at them in a list. I know they show up in Google Calendar, so maybe you can view them their? Regardless, this is a great idea for a Todo app feature.

I use Due on iOS for this, it will also nag you on a given interval until you complete the action. OmniFocus also supports recurring actions, but IMO not as elegantly as Due.

I am almost tempted to write it myself, none of 3 billion existing Todo apps support repeatable tasks

[MayorMonty]

Todoist supports repeating tasks, but doesn't have the nice time buckets like this app does

[wetpaws]

I dont think it has repeating templates which you usually want to use.
