the guide · repeating tasks
Say it once.
Bins, plants, rent, the smoke alarm. Tell Nuffo how often and it comes back by itself, into later when it’s due. Today stays yours to fill.
How it works
- Dump it with a rhythm. “water the plants every sunday” is enough: Nuffo takes the “every sunday” off the words and sets the repeat.
- Or set it by hand. Tap the task’s words, then repeats: daily, weekly on the days you pick, or monthly on a date.
- Tick it off. The next one waits quietly and comes back to later on its day, marked with the loop.
- Pick it when it matters. Nuffo may suggest it for today’s three when it’s due. You still say yes.
Say it in a dump
Type or say these as part of any dump. Nuffo understands them in a ramble too.
| you say | it repeats |
|---|---|
water the plants every sunday | every Sunday |
stretch every weekday | Monday to Friday |
gym every monday and thursday | Mondays and Thursdays |
call grandma every other friday | every other Friday |
book a haircut every 6 weeks | every 6 weeks |
pay rent on the 1st of every month | monthly, on the 1st |
check the smoke alarm every 3 months | every 3 months |
take vitamins daily | every day |
Good to know
- Never straight onto today. A repeat comes back to later. Only your tap puts something on today.
- Up to every 12. Every 1 to 12 days, weeks or months. Short months use their last day for the 29th to 31st.
- One at a time. The next one appears when you tick this one off, so a missed week never piles up five copies.
- Free. Repeating tasks are part of Free, on the web, iPhone and Android.
Quick answers
Will a repeating task fill my day?
No. It comes back to later when it's due. Nuffo may suggest it for today's three, but nothing lands on today unless you pick it.
What if I skip one?
Nothing piles up. It stays in later until you tick it off or let it go, and the next one only appears after that.
How do I stop a task repeating?
Tap its words and set repeats to never. Letting it go stops it too.
Can I repeat something on several weekdays?
Yes. Pick the days in the task's details, or dump it: "gym every monday and thursday".
Do repeats work with reminders?
A reminder is for one of today's three. Once a repeating task is on today, you can set a time for it like any other.
