Recurring Tasks

Recurring tasks automatically recreate themselves after you complete them. Use them for anything you do regularly: daily standups, weekly reviews, monthly reports, hourly checks, or any repeating work.

Max plan only. Recurring tasks are available exclusively on the Max plan.

1. Open any task (click it on the board, or open its full page)
2. Find the Repeat field in the properties panel
3. Choose a schedule (see below), and optionally a time of day and an end date
4. For Custom, pick an interval and unit (minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months)

Select "Does not repeat" to remove recurrence from a task.

The cycle works like a chain - each task must be closed before the next one exists:

1. Set recurrence on a task (e.g. "Daily")
2. Close the task (mark as done or cancelled)
3. The next occurrence is created straight away, in Backlog, with the date it is due to start, so you can already see it, plan around it and add notes
4. When that date arrives, it moves from Backlog to Open (if you already started it, it is left as it is)
5. The new task inherits the recurrence rule, so closing it creates the next one - and so on

The new task inherits:

• Title, description, and markdown content
• Priority, category, and assignee
• Tags and closing requisites
• The recurrence rule itself
• A fresh deadline, counted from its start date (if the original had a duration-based SLA)

Recurrence-created tasks are marked with "Auto-created from recurrence" in their detail panel, and their source is set to "recurrence".

• The move from Backlog to Open is checked every 15 minutes, so it can happen a few minutes after the start time
• Minimum custom interval for minutes is 15 minutes
• The recurrence on the original task is cleared after the new copy is created, preventing duplicates
• You can break the chain at any time by setting the Repeat field to "Does not repeat" before closing a task
