History, undo & delete

Rymi tries never to lose your work, and never to surprise you. Tasks remember where they have been, actions can be reversed, and the one irreversible action asks first.

Task history

Open a task and you will see a short, factual summary of its life, like “Created 2 weeks ago, moved 4 times”. Click it to expand a timeline of events in order. Hover a moment on the Mac (or long-press on iOS) to see the exact date and time.

For a recurring task, the history also rolls up how its past occurrences went, so you can see a habit’s track record at a glance.

Undo and redo

Almost every destructive action can be undone:

• ⌘Z undoes the last action
• ⇧⌘Z redoes it

Completing, archiving, deleting, moving between sections, skipping a recurrence, and batch operations are all undoable. After one of these, a short toast appears with an undo button, so a misclick is never costly. A batch action undoes as a single step.

Delete

Deleting a task removes it for good; it does not go to the Archive. Because of that, Rymi confirms first. If the task is recurring, the confirmation notes that deleting will stop the recurrence rather than spawn the next occurrence. When you want to keep a record, archive instead of deleting.
