Task Details & Subtasks

Tasks in Tasquera can range from a quick one-line reminder to a richly detailed project with checklist steps, attachments, and recurring schedules.

Task Properties

Every task in Tasquera supports:

  • Title: The core objective or action item.
  • Notes / Description: Multi-line Markdown notes with formatting and links.
  • Subtasks: Checkable steps with live progress indicators and drag reordering.
  • Subtask Promotion: One-click promotion to convert any subtask into an independent top-level task.
  • Due Date & Time: Due date with optional time-of-day reminder trigger (default 09:00).
  • Recurrence: Automated repeating rules for routines and recurring workflows.
  • Priority: Urgency classification with visual color badges.
  • Links: Attached URL bookmarks with custom labels.
  • Status: Current lifecycle stage (To Do, In Progress, Done).
  • Collection: Assigned list or board (or Inbox if unassigned).

Natural Language Quick-Add

When adding tasks via the quick-entry bar (/), Tasquera automatically extracts dates and priority tokens:

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.
