Tasks

Create and manage tasks

Learn how to create, edit, complete, and reopen tasks in Do Everything.

Creating a task

  1. Tap the + button from any screen in the app.
  2. Choose Task.
  3. Enter a title for your task.
  4. Optionally add details such as a due date, reminder, tags, or a list — or save it as-is and add them later.
  5. Tap Save to create the task.

You can also create tasks directly from within a list, from the planning screen, or from an Android home screen widget.

Editing a task

  1. Tap any task to open it.
  2. Update any field — title, description, due date, start date, reminders, tags, list, or section.
  3. Changes are saved automatically.

Completing a task

Tap the circle next to a task to mark it as done. Completed tasks show a tick and are moved to the completed group when browsing.

If a task has subtasks, completing the parent task will also mark all its subtasks as done.

Reopening a task

Changed your mind? Tap the tick on a completed task to reopen it. The task moves back to its original position based on its due date or list.

Task details at a glance

Each task can include:

  • Title — A short description of what needs doing.
  • Description — Additional detail or context.
  • Due date — When the task should be done.
  • Start date and time — When you plan to work on it (used by the planning feature).
  • Reminders — Notifications at specific times or relative to the due date.
  • Recurrence — Repeat the task daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
  • Subtasks — Break the task into smaller steps.
  • Tags — Categorise and filter tasks.
  • List and section — Assign the task to a list for organisation.
  • Location — Attach a place for location-based reminders.

Browsing your tasks

Open the Tasks tab to see all your tasks. From here you can:

  • Sort by due date, title, creation date, updated date, completion date, or reminder.
  • Group by date, list, tags, reminders, or creation date.
  • Search to find tasks by title.

Tasks without a due date appear in the Someday group, making it easy to distinguish between scheduled and unscheduled work.
