Break a task into steps
Split a big task into a checklist, and schedule individual steps onto their own days.

Add steps
- 1Open a task.
- 2Type into Add a step… under Steps and press
Enter. - 3Repeat for each step. Up to 100 per task.
Tick steps off without opening the task
Task cards show a 2/5 ▸ chip when they have steps. Tap it to expand the checklist right there and tick items off.
When the last step is done, Kairo offers a shortcut: a toast reading All steps done 🎉 with a Finish the task button. It never completes the task behind your back.
Give a step its own day
This is what makes steps more than a checklist. Each step row has a + day button, pick a day and that single step appears on Today under Steps today, and inside that day in the Calendar.
So “File taxes” can stay one task while *Gather receipts* lands on Wednesday and *Fill the form* on Thursday.
Reading a step row
- A scheduled step shows its own row with the parent task's name after it (
↳ File taxes). Tapping the text opens the parent. - A step you didn't get to shows
from yesterday. - Steps don't count toward the day's capacity estimate, only whole tasks do.
