Tasks
A task is a one-time to-do on a specific date. Unfinished tasks follow you to today, so nothing gets lost.
Create a task
- Use Quick Add with the task type selected.
- Or open the menu, tap Manage Tasks, then tap +.
The New Task form has:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Emoji | Tap the circle at the top to pick an emoji. Afternoon suggests one from the name. Only shown when Show Emojis is on. |
| Title | The task's name |
| Description (Optional) | Shown when you expand the task |
| Task Date | The day the task is due |
| Repeat | Never, Daily, Weekly or Monthly. See Repeating tasks. |
| Time | When it's due. Timed tasks are sorted by time and appear in the Planner. |
| Get Notification? | Sends a notification at the task's time on its date |
Tap the checkmark at the top right to save.
To remove a task's time or hide the description field, open the task and use the ... menu: Show description and Set specific time. The same menu has Delete.
Complete a task
Tap the dashed checkbox to mark a task done. Tap it again to undo. You can't complete a task dated in the future.
Single tap a task to show its description. Double tap its name to edit it.
Unfinished tasks carry over
When you open today, any unfinished task from an earlier day moves to today and keeps its time. A label on the right shows how old it is, such as Yesterday or 3 days ago.
To move a task to a different day, open it and change Task Date.
Repeating tasks
Set Repeat to Daily, Weekly or Monthly. When you check off a repeating task, Afternoon creates the next one on the next date, with the same name, emoji, description and time.
TIP
The next copy of a repeating task is created when you check it off in the day list with the List or Badge view style.
Manage Tasks
Open the menu and tap Manage Tasks to see Uncompleted Tasks and Completed Tasks. Each task shows its date and time. Tap a task to edit it, or tap + to create one.
To change several at once:
- Tap the select button (a circle with a check) at the top right.
- Tap tasks to select them, or tap Select All.
- Tap Complete, Uncomplete or Delete.
Deleting tasks can't be undone.
