Recurring Tasks

Automate repetitive work by setting tasks to recur on a schedule. AgileTune creates new task instances automatically so nothing falls through the cracks.

Setting Up a Recurring Task

  1. Create a new task or open an existing one
  2. Click the Recurrence button (or press R)
  3. Choose a schedule type and configure the details
  4. Click Save

The task becomes a recurring template. AgileTune generates new instances based on the schedule. Each instance is a standalone task that can be edited independently.

Schedule Types

Daily

Creates a new task every day at a specified time. You can also set it to repeat every N days (e.g., every 2 days).

Weekly

Creates a new task on selected days of the week (e.g., every Monday and Thursday). Choose the time and which days to include.

Monthly

Creates a new task on a specific day of the month (e.g., the 1st, the 15th) or a relative day (e.g., the first Monday, the last Friday).

Custom Cron

For advanced schedules, enter a cron expression. AgileTune uses standard 5-field cron syntax:

# ┌───────── minute (0-59)
# │ ┌─────── hour (0-23)
# │ │ ┌───── day of month (1-31)
# │ │ │ ┌─── month (1-12)
# │ │ │ │ ┌─ day of week (0-6, Sun=0)
# │ │ │ │ │
  0 9 * * 1-5   # Weekdays at 9:00 AM
  0 0 1 * *     # First day of every month at midnight

Auto-Assignment

Configure how recurring task instances are assigned:

  • Same assignee — every instance is assigned to the same person
  • Round-robin — rotate assignment across a list of team members
  • Unassigned — instances are created without an assignee

Skipping and Pausing

You can temporarily pause a recurring task to stop new instances from being created. Open the recurring template and click Pause Recurrence. Resume it at any time to pick up the schedule where it left off.

To skip a single occurrence without pausing the entire schedule, find the upcoming instance in the task list and delete it — the next scheduled instance will still be created.

Viewing Recurring Task Instances

All instances generated from a recurring template are linked together. From the template task, click View Instances to see a list of all past and upcoming occurrences. Each instance shows its status, assignee, and due date.

You can also filter the board or task list to show only recurring tasks using the Is Recurring filter.
