Recurring tasks automatically create new tasks on a schedule. Use them for regular check-ins, periodic reviews, and other repeating activities.

​
How recurring tasks work

When you create a recurring task, an initial task is created immediately. After each task is completed, the next one is automatically scheduled based on the interval you set. Each repeat is a separate, standalone task linked to the recurrence series. The recurrence continues until you stop it, or until an optional Until end date is reached.

​
Create a recurring task

1

Open the task creation form

Click + New task on the Tasks page, or press c then t.
2

Fill in task details

Enter the title, description, and other properties.
3

Enable recurrence

Click the icon in the footer of the form.
4

Set the schedule

Configure the recurrence:
  • First due — the date the first task is due
  • Repeats every — a number from 1 to 12 and a unit: days, weeks, or months
  • Until — an optional end date. Click the date to open the popover and pick a day; dates before the start are disabled. Click Clear end date to remove it.
5

Click Create

The first task is created and future tasks are scheduled.
When recurrence is enabled, the due date is set in the recurrence configuration instead of the standard due date selector.

​
Make an existing task recurring

You can convert any existing task into a recurring task from the detail panel.
1

Open the task

Click the task to open the detail panel.
2

Click + Make recurring

In the Repeats row, click + Make recurring.
3

Set the schedule

Choose the due date, repeat interval (1—12), unit (days, weeks, or months), and an optional Until end date. Click Make recurring to confirm.
The task becomes the first in the series. Future tasks are scheduled automatically.

​
Apply changes to the series

When you edit a recurring task’s title, description, assignee, priority, label, or relationship, those changes only apply to that specific task. To update all future tasks in the series, you must apply the changes to the recurring template:
1

Edit the task

Make your changes in the detail panel.
2

Click Apply

An Apply button appears in the Repeats row when the task differs from the recurring template. Click it to update the template and all future tasks.

​
Stop a recurring task

To stop future tasks from being created, hover over the recurrence badge in the detail panel and click the icon. Confirm by clicking Stop repeating. Existing tasks in the series are not affected — only future tasks stop being created. The recurrence badge updates to show the stopped date.

​
FAQ

No. Once a recurrence is stopped, it cannot be restarted. Create a new recurring task instead.
Only that specific task is deleted. The recurrence series continues and future tasks are still created.
Title, description, assignee, priority, label, and relationship. Click Apply in the Repeats row to update the recurring template and all future tasks. Due date changes cannot be applied to the series since each task has its own scheduled date.
