Lemmy App List
Chat and More
- Whenever I cross off a task, it should sit inactive until the next recurrence interval
- Then it should automatically become active again
- I want the app to show me which task I have to perform next
Could you elaborate a bit on these requirements? It's been said already, but all of these can be accomplished with any task app. However, you've explicitly stated that you don't want that, nor do you want tasks set for a specific time or date...
🤔🤔
I understand the frustration of having a clear picture in your head of what you want, but also being unable to articulate it correctly. So, what specific behavior are you looking for in this hypothetical app that's different from a "normal" tasks app?
I'm not the op but Ill take a stab at their ask because I want something like this too.
The idea is to have a list of tasks which autopopulate based on their time since last completed. Those tasks do not have a schedule due date on them, but a recurrence interval. When the task is marked as complete the system will hide that task until the designated time has elapsed.
This means that when opening the app, you only see tasks that are "overdue" based on their interval coming back up. If I don't complete the task today, it's still there tomorrow. If I complete the task, it should not reappear until the interval is up, and that interval should not be dependent on the day the task was completed.
Example task; water plants every 7 days. I want the app to tell me exactly 7 days after I last completed the task that it's time to water the plants, regardless of whether it took me 3 days to complete the task.
Would love to know if this exists already.

That's kinda what I figured, but I wanted to hear it from OP before making assumptions.
~~I think Loop Habit Tracker can do this... I'll check it out on my phone when I get a sec.~~
Edit: nope, it can't
I've been looking for the exact same thing. The closest I've found is Galarm, but it's still exact day/time based
I use medtimer. https://f-droid.org/packages/com.futsch1.medtimer
Can set tasks for daily or a year later and for it to repeat. And you can check off when you did it and it'll keep a record of that.
It'll also provide a list view of all your tasks. Well I guess its for medicine, but I too found it after looking for something to keep track of random tasks that I do weekly, monthly, and so on.
I use the build in calendar, with repeat events
It's the first thing I thought about but I don't like tasks being scheduled for a given date or time.
Same. Keep it simple
Toodledoo worked very well for me. Even had annual reminders for car tax & insurance etc.
Have you tried a spouse?
Seriously though, Structured does this for me now with some tweaking: https://structured.app/
Dude, the amount of things my wife can remember for me is astounding.
