A reminder is simple ā€“ You get a reminder notification. For repeating tasks, you can set tags, priority, checklists and other fields. When you donā€™t finish a task, it gets added to Overdue tasks.

Once you receive the notification, you can simply dismiss it if you donā€™t want to do it. There are certain less important tasks that donā€™t need to be added to the daily to-do list or the Timeline. With repeating reminders, you can achieve this.

Monthly mode lets you set a reminder that sends notifications every month. You can select multiple days of the month. eg. 1st, 15th and 31st.

When you select 31st, the app will send you a notification on the last day of the month. If itā€™s June, you will get a notification on June 30. If itā€™s July, a notification will be sent on July 31.

Similar to other modes, you can set the interval. 1 for every month, 2 for every other month, 3 for every 2 months. If you start a reminder in January with interval 3, the app will not send reminders in February or March. But the app will send you notification in the month of April of that year.

As you know Taskito is a customizable task management app. You get plenty of options to fine tune your workflow. Hereā€™s another one. You can decide when the repeating reminder starts.

You can manage your workflow by setting future reminders. If your school starts in 2 months and you want to add a reminder to review your homework, you can create a reminder now and set starting date 2 months from now. The app will remind you from the start date!

When you are setting a reminder, the app will recommend the next starting date based on current time and recurrence. For eg, if you are adding a weekly reminder for Saturday and Sunday, given that today is Monday, the app will suggest starting date as the first Saturday from today. But of course, you can change this to fit your requirements.

Yet another cool feature which lets you customize your daily to-do list app. By default, the reminders donā€™t have any end date so they will keep on sending you reminders every week / month.

If you want to add a weekly reminder for 2 months only, you can set end date 2 months from now and then app will not send you notifications after 2 months. You can change this whenever you want.

A reminder which starts from Sep 1 and ends before Dec 1.

Everything revolves around the Timeline in this task management app. You can combine daily tasks, project tasks, routines, calendar events and Reminders.

When you add a reminder, at the bottom you will see 2 options which control the behavior of Reminders in the Timeline.

Option 1: Create a completed task when marked as done

If this option is enabled, whenever you mark the reminder as done, the app will automatically add a new task to your timeline (and mark it as completed). This can help you keep track of your daily activity. This option can be changed any time and you can enable it for some reminders and keep it disabled for others.

Option 2: Show in Timeline

When this option is enabled, Taskito will show you the reminder along with your daily to-do list in the Timeline. So when you open the app, you will get the exact overview of your day.

This option is per reminder so you can decide not to show certain reminders in your timeline. Whenever you change this option, the app will rebuild your timeline to reflect your choices.

A weekly reminder is added to the timeline along with daily tasks

Taskito offers powerful reminders with rich notification and customization options. You can even snooze a reminder directly from the notification.

To recap, you can create daily, weekly, monthly and yearly repeating reminders, set repeat interval, start and end date. Apart from this, you can also assign tags for better categorization.
