Repeating tasks

Make a task repeat

A repeating task comes back on the days you choose. It needs a day before it can repeat, so schedule it first.

1. Open the task: click its block on the calendar, or click it in its list.
2. Click the repeat icon, labelled Repeat.
3. Set the rule, then click Save.

On the calendar, Repeat shows only on a block with a time. For a task with a day and no time, open it in its list.

Choose the rule

1. Set Every to a number and choose Day, Week, Month or Year. Every 2 Week is once a fortnight.
2. For a weekly repeat, click the letters of the days it falls on.
3. Check Starts, the first day of the repeat. Click it to choose another day.
4. For a monthly or yearly repeat, choose On: the Starts day's date, such as Day 14, or its weekday of the month, such as The second Tuesday.
5. Choose when it Ends: Never, On date for a last day, or After a number of times.

Want a task to come back a while after you last did it, not on set days? Change Schedule to Repeats after completion. Each time you tick it off, the next one is placed that many days, weeks, months or years later.

Skip one occurrence

The Upcoming tab lists the next occurrences, so you can skip one without touching the rest.

1. Open the task and click Repeat.
2. Click Upcoming at the top.
3. Click ⋯ beside an occurrence and choose Skip this occurrence.

A skipped occurrence stays in the list, struck through. To bring it back, click its ⋯ and choose Un-skip this occurrence.

Move or delete a repeating task

1. To move one occurrence, drag its block to a new time or day.
2. If Chunk asks Move repeating task?, choose Just this one or All from now on. When it doesn't ask, only that one moves.
3. To delete, open the block and click the trash icon in its toolbar.
4. Choose Delete task and block.
5. Choose This one, This and following or All.

All from now on takes the new day and time into the rule: move a weekly Monday task to Tuesday and it repeats on Tuesdays, at the new time, from then.

Occurrences you've completed stay in your history, whichever you delete.

Pause or remove a repeat

1. Open the task and click Repeat.
2. Click ⋯ beside Cancel and Save.
3. Choose Pause repeat or Remove repeat.

A paused repeat keeps its rule but stops placing occurrences, and the task stays out of Today and the other smart lists. Choose Resume repeat from the same menu to start it again.

Remove repeat asks first. It removes the occurrences you haven't done and leaves one unscheduled task in its list.
