I’m looking for an app to manage recurring household tasks. Some things I do daily, some weekly, some twice a month. I want something that can show me what’s next instead of just a list of everything.

I’m not looking for a scheduler like Google Calendar. I don’t want to assign fixed dates or times to tasks. Instead:

  • Whenever I cross off a task, it should sit inactive until the next recurrence interval
  • Then it should automatically become active again
  • And I want the app to show me which task I have to perform next

Any recommendations for an Android app to notify me of recurring chores when it’s time to perform them again?

    Could you elaborate a bit on these requirements? It’s been said already, but all of these can be accomplished with any task app. However, you’ve explicitly stated that you don’t want that, nor do you want tasks set for a specific time or date…

    🤔🤔

    I understand the frustration of having a clear picture in your head of what you want, but also being unable to articulate it correctly. So, what specific behavior are you looking for in this hypothetical app that’s different from a “normal” tasks app?

      I hadn’t initially considered habit trackers when writing my question, but after reading the answers I realized they are a good option. Besides that, I copied one of the few apps I thought might be better. Ultimately, I chose a habit tracker, so I didn’t try out the home chore tracker app I copied in another response here.

      Also, @beetus@lemmy.world got it right.
