Natural Language Quick-Add
When adding tasks via the quick-entry bar (/), Tasquera automatically extracts dates and priority tokens:
Priority Tokens
| Token Pattern | Assigned Priority |
|---|---|
!urgent, !urg, !u, p1 | Urgent |
!high, !hi, !h, p2 | High |
!medium, !med, !m, p3 | Medium |
!low, !l, p4 | Low |
Date & Time Tokens
| Input Example | Extracted Due Date |
|---|---|

in 3 days, in 2 weeks | Relative offset from today |
next monday, friday | Upcoming weekday |
Aug 25, August 25th, 2026-08-25 | Specific target calendar date |
Example: Typing Draft quarterly report next monday !high creates a task titled Draft quarterly report scheduled for next Monday with High priority.
Recurring Tasks
Automate repetitive chores and habits without manual re-entry:
- Recurrence Rules: Daily, Weekdays (Mon–Fri), Weekly (select exact weekdays, e.g. Mon & Thu), Monthly, or Yearly.
- Custom Intervals: Repeat every $N$ days, weeks, months, or years (e.g. Every 2 weeks).
- Auto-Spawn on Completion: When you check off a recurring task, Tasquera marks the current instance complete and automatically creates the next scheduled occurrence with fresh, uncompleted subtasks.
