How to set up recurring tasks in Dart

Dart allows you to set recurring tasks, so that you can more easily track work that occurs one a regular cadence.

To do this follow these steps:

  1. Create a task
    Build your template task that you want to recur with all necessary details, including:

    • Subtasks

    • Descriptions

    • Any additional information

  2. Open the task and click the three dots in the top right corner.

  3. Then click "Change task", then click "Set recurrence" near the bottom

Then choose one of the quick options for daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, or set a custom schedule.

How recurrence works

Once set, Dart will automatically generate a new copy of this template task based on the schedule you set.
​

Note on completion vs. scheduling: Dart generates new tasks based on the calendar schedule, not based on when you complete the previous task.

  • It does not "move" the old task: When you mark a recurring task as done, it stays completed

  • It creates a fresh copy: The next task will open strictly on the date you defined (e.g., every Monday), regardless of when you closed the previous one

This ensures that if you fall behind, the next task still appears on time, helping you track that you may have two outstanding items to complete (e.g., two social posts due) rather than losing track of the volume of work.

Editing your schedule

You can edit the recurrence at any time by opening the task and clicking the new field that appears called "Recurrence".
