Recurring Tasks

Set tasks to repeat on a schedule — daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Completed tasks automatically create a new instance with the next due date.

Recurring tasks automatically create a new instance when the current one is completed. This is ideal for repeating work like weekly reports, daily standups, monthly compliance checks, or sprint reviews.

How it works

Set recurrence on a task

At creation or any time after — via @mention, slash command, or the create modal.

Complete the task

Via any method — @mention, Complete button, slash command, or auto-close from a nudge reply.

A new task is automatically created

The completion message includes the next due date:

@alice marked *Weekly standup review* as done! (next due 2026-02-27)

Setting recurrence

At creation via @mention

@Tickr create a weekly standup review task for @alice due Monday

@Tickr add a daily task to check monitoring dashboards

@Tickr create a monthly compliance report, assign to @bob

Tickr recognizes these patterns:

Phrase	Recurrence
"every day", "daily"	Daily
"every week", "weekly", "every Monday"	Weekly
"every two weeks", "biweekly"	Biweekly
"every month", "monthly"	Monthly

At creation via modal

Use the Repeat dropdown in the /tickr create modal. Options: Daily, Weekly, Biweekly, Monthly, or no recurrence.

After creation via slash command

/tickr repeat 01KH9DN3 weekly

Set or remove recurrence on a task.

/tickr repeat 01KH9DN3 daily

Via @mention

@Tickr make the standup task repeat weekly

@Tickr set the report task to monthly recurrence

Removing recurrence

/tickr repeat 01KH9DN3 off

@Tickr stop the standup task from recurring

Frequencies and next due date

Frequency	Next due date
`daily`	Current due date + 1 day
`weekly`	Current due date + 7 days
`biweekly`	Current due date + 14 days
`monthly`	Current due date + 1 calendar month (day clamped if needed, e.g. Jan 31 becomes Feb 28)

If no due date is set, the next instance is computed from today. If the computed next date falls in the past (e.g., task was completed late), it advances from today instead to keep the cadence moving forward.

Completion paths

Recurrence triggers from all completion methods:

AI @mention — @Tickr close the weekly review
Complete button — click Complete on the task card
Slash command — /tickr update 01KH done or /tickr complete 01KH
Auto-close — reply "done" to a nudge

In every case, the completion message includes the next due date.
