# Repeat a task

Daily, weekly on chosen days, or monthly, a repeating task is one card that rolls forward as you complete it.

## Make a task repeat

1. Open the task and expand **Repeat**.
2. Choose **Daily**, **Weekly** or **Monthly**.
3. Adjust the detail: every N days, which weekdays, or which day of the month.

Or type it while capturing: `water plants every mon and thu`, `stretch daily`, `pay rent monthly`, `review notes every 3 days`.

## The three rule types

| Type | Options |
| --- | --- |
| **Daily** | Every 1–365 days |
| **Weekly** | Any combination of weekdays (at least one) |
| **Monthly** | A day of the month, 1–31 |

> **Note:** Monthly rules handle short months gracefully, the 31st becomes the 30th in April and the 28th or 29th in February.

## What completing one does

A repeating task is a single card, not a pre-generated pile. When you complete it, two things happen:

1. A finished copy is written to **Done today** and your [Log](https://kairo.jaimansoni.com/support/log), so your history stays honest.
2. The card itself rolls forward to the next occurrence, with the star cleared, the carry count reset, and every step unticked for a fresh round.

You'll see a small confirmation: `↻ Next: Thursday`.

## Missing one

In the [morning sweep](https://kairo.jaimansoni.com/support/fresh-start), repeating tasks get their own options: **Today**, **Did it**, and **Skip**. Skip jumps to the next occurrence with no penalty, and crucially, *Let go* and *Someday* aren't offered, so a bad week can't silently delete a habit.

To end a series for good, delete the task from its ⋯ menu or the editor, or set Repeat back to **Never**.
