What I want to see someday is a task manager that has "timeouts" for completed tasks. I don't want to schedule laundry and grocery shopping for the exact same day and time every week. Nor do I want it sitting in my to-do list forever.
What I want is to be able to add "laundry" as a reoccurring task and set the timeout for a week. After I do my laundry, I can mark it done, but it'll automatically get added to my to-do list again a week later. It should be marked low priority at first, but increasing in priority every day until it's sitting at the top in bright red letters. This should nicely correspond to the amount of clean clothes I have left.
So many tasks are like this. Except for hard appointments, I rarely set a day/time to get something done. Instead I have a list of tasks that I need to do regularly, and once I've done them, they won't be needed for another x amount of time. Oil changes, cleaning tasks, etc.
- alexbaker 6y agoTasks has two features you might be interested in One is the ability to schedule a repeating task based on the completion date rather than the due date. The other is to hide a task until a particular date I use these two features together for all of my habits/chores that I don't need cluttering up my to-do list
- rickpmg 6y agoCheck out the android app "Regularly", it does exactly what you want. It is the simplest, most well designed app I have encountered... and it is free.
- jms 6y agoI used "Regularly" and it worked great. I've now upgraded to my own system which plugs into my dashboard and can generate graphs. Each time I complete a task I can give it a score, which is then graphed. I just use it for my weight, but you could use it for anything. I should really tidy it up and promote it!

- macNchz 6y agoI made a multi-user version of this idea a while ago, just to keep track of household tasks with my girlfriend, and I’ve been working on polishing it into something others can use: https://onit.today https://onit.today It’s web only right now, with reminders over email, but I find it useful for exactly the sort of tasks you describe!
- scns 6y agoMaybe "Loop habit tracker" could work for you. You will find it on F-Droid
