Ultimate Tasks comes with full support for automated recurring tasks. They just work, right out of the box.

Note how this task has a Due date. It also has a Recur Interval and a Recur Unit.

If the property panel isn’t open, click the ••• button to the right of the Due property to open it and see them within the Recurring Task Properties section.

A task is a recurring task if it has:

1. A Due date
2. A Recur Interval value (must be 1 or higher)

When you set the Status of a recurring task to Done, it’ll automatically set itself back to To Do, and the Due date will be updated to the date currently shown in the Next Due property in the Recurring Task Properties section.

Try it now!

To customize the Next Due date, use the following properties:

• Recur Interval – Sets the number of units that will be counted.
• Recur Unit – Sets the unit that will be used for each interval (e.g. days, weeks, months, etc). If empty, Recur Interval will count days by default.
• Days – Allows you to either:
  • Have a task recur on specific days of the week: e.g. Mon/Weds/Fri. Only works if Recur Interval is 1 and Recur Unit is Day(s).
  • Have a task recur on the Nth week of each month, on a specific day. Only works if Recur Unit if Nth Weekday of Month and Days has a single day. Tip: Use a Recur Interval of 5 for the last specific weekday of the month – e.g. “the last Thursday of the month”
