How Repeating Tasks Work

Repeating tasks are useful for responsibilities that happen regularly, like feeding pets, packing a backpack, clearing dishes, or taking out trash.

Quick Start

  1. Choose a task that happens more than once.
  2. Open the task settings.
  3. Choose the repeat option.
  4. Set how often it should repeat.
  5. Add a due time if needed.

Why this helps

Clear tasks can reduce repeated reminders and give children a better chance to follow through.

Good to know

  • Repeat only the tasks you truly want the app to hold for you.
  • Start with one daily task or one weekly task.
  • If a repeating task stops being useful, adjust it instead of abandoning the whole system.

Family Example

Pick one task you remind someone about every day. Make only that task repeat first.

Good to Know

  • Start with the smallest version that solves the problem.
  • Change one setting at a time so you can see what helped.
  • Missed days are information, not proof that your family failed.
  • Open Help in the IAFT app and send a message if something does not work as expected.

Best First Action

Pick one task you remind someone about every day. Make only that task repeat first.
