Assigned dates are always in the future.

You can assign a date in any of the following formats:

• today, tomorrow
• Plural day of week such as Sundays sets a weekly recurrence
• next Sunday (or any weekday) — one-time date for the next occurrence of that day, no recurrence set
• yyyy-mm-dd such as 2026-01-24
• Month and day such as January 24 or 1/24 — uses the next future occurrence of that date

If you’d like to refer to a specific day without using it as the due date, add a second date or use nodate. The last date wins. For example, “Reply to the letter that came on Sunday Tuesday” becomes a task due Tuesday with the title “Reply to the letter that came on Sunday”.

Recurrences

To make a task recurring, set a recurrence pattern using every [interval] or every! [interval]. The exclamation mark after every indicates floating recurrence.

Floating recurrence

Prefix your pattern with every! to make the next occurrence relative to when you complete the task rather than the original due date.

• every week on a task due Tuesday → the next instance always lands on Tuesday, even if you complete it on Wednesday.
• every! week → the next instance is scheduled one week from whenever you actually complete it.

Useful for habits where slipping a day shouldn’t cause permanent catch-up.
