Recurring tasks

A recurring task repeats on a schedule. Rymi shows only one occurrence at a time, so a daily habit never floods your list with a hundred future copies.

Create one

Two ways:

• While capturing, write the repeat in plain language and let smart parsing catch it: Water the plants every 3 days.
• In the detail modal, use the Repeats picker.

Presets cover the common cases (every day, every weekday, every week, every two weeks, every month). On the Mac you can also set a custom interval, day of the week, or day of the month from the picker.

How occurrences work

A recurring task is always a single live occurrence. When you act on it, the next one appears in your Backlog:

• Complete it and the next occurrence is created.
• Archive it and the next occurrence is still created.
• Skip it (S) to move to the next occurrence without completing or archiving the current one. Nothing is recorded as done; you simply move on.

A small repeat icon marks recurring tasks in the list.

Scheduling modes

A repeat can be anchored two ways:

• Fixed: the schedule follows the calendar (every Monday stays every Monday, even if you finish late).
• After completion: the next occurrence is measured from when you finish, which suits “every few days” style chores.

Deleting a recurring task

Deleting a recurring task stops the recurrence entirely. Rymi warns you, because unlike skip or complete, delete does not spawn a next occurrence. See history, undo & delete.
