Do you have reoccurring todos (or is that done by reoccurring calendar events)?

I am currently paying $0 for ToDoist, but I'd be willing to pay $10USD/mo for ToDoist + analytics (needs iOS and web). I want to know how "good" I am at completing my tasks each day and which reoccurring tasks are often delayed or rescheduled.

I don't care about calendar integrations or notes. The encryption is neat, but I don't trust it and I don't capture any hyper-sensitive content in my todos/calendar/notes anyways.

Recommend you take a look at TickTick for tasks. I've tried em all but this one has nailed it - includes https://support.ticktick.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011086372-... which might be of interest given your q

Thanks for the comments. We do have plans for recurring tasks in the near future.

What kind of analytics do you find valuable for todo tracking? Many apps measure the number of completed tasks, which I find counterproductive.

Sorry about the long winded examples but...

Existing tools lack the ability to self-reflect:

1/ In 2019, I created a daily task called "do taxes". The plan was I'd spend a few minutes on taxes each day and have them completed over a few weeks. But everyday, this task would sit, undone for weeks at a time. After a few weeks of it just sitting there (or at least very slow progress), I realized this task was bad. It was too vague. When I sat down to do my "todos", this task had unclear expectations for completion or even what the true task was next.

I quickly wrote out all of the tasks I needed to do for my taxes (collect 1099s from {bank}, input receipts into a spreadsheet, find a CPA, etc.) and scheduled those throughout the upcoming weeks. Each day, I was able to do a "taxes" task, but having it broken up helped me stop ignoring the task.

2/ One of my daily tasks is "go to the gym". I have no idea how often I actually go to the gym. I have no idea if I go to the gym too little or too much. I don't know if I need to re-prioritize my day if I am not going enough or if I hit my goal of 5-days per week regularly and I can shift my focus to other priorities.

An analytics tool (I think) would help me spot gaps in my reoccurring tasks.

Thanks for the detailed description, love it.

Getting insights on how many times a task was rescheduled, completed on time, or skipped, could indeed be valuable. Something that we will keep in mind when developing the recurring tasks feature.
