Recurring Tasks Bug
in progress

Samuel Thomas
I have set up recurring tasks and they seem to change days. For instance, I have a recurring task set for every Friday, but looking ahead a few weeks, it is on a Thursday now?
Really love the app. Makes me so much more productive. The simplicity of the UI is key. Recurring tasks and such need to be correct however, as I have things like deadlines and things that need to be done by certain days which I could get wrong if I hadn't have noticed.
Appreciate all the work you do! :)

Hi, I have also been having this bug on both ios and the macos desktop app and it makes recurring tasks basically unusable :(

Thanks for the kind words Samuel :)
Recurring tasks are probably the buggiest (and most complex) part of the app so my apologies.
I plan on on doing a huge overhaul of the underlying technology to try to make it more stable.
A question to help me here:
Is this happening on iOS or desktop? And if not both, is one of those correct?

No worries at all :) I am a software engineer myself so understand the potential complexities of it.
The bug seems to happen on both iOS and desktop.
I guess in terms of providing more information, please let me know if you need anything else as i'd be more than happy helping in getting it fixed.
Cheers.

Ah ok, this is good to know.
2 other things that would help me:
- What timezone are you located in?
- Could I access your account data to check on the specific recurring task to see if there is anything wrong with it? If yes, could you share the name of the recurring task? (if no, all good!)

- Timezone: UK
- Yes, you can access my account data. I recently deleted my tasks and have just gone to pen and paper due to the recurring task issue. However, I have just created a sample recurring task and the bug has occurred again so it is there for you to see. The task name is "This task should always be on every other thursday!"
Chris
Samuel Thomas so sorry for the delay here, addressing this now!
Chris
Hey Samuel Thomas did you travel or change timezones at all?
Having a ton of trouble reproducing this even setting my timezone to UK

Chris No travel outside the country at all since creation of account. Happened initially when I made my tasks, ended up deleting my tasks because of the issue so just went to pen and paper, then when you asked I created a recurring task again and it caused the bug again. Seems strange.

Appreciate you taking the time to re-explore this with me :)
Are you able to update your version of Google chrome?
I just checked and it looks like you are on chrome 118 which had a major timezone bug. The latest version is actually 130 and I have a strong suspicion this is the culprit.

Chris Hi Chris. Looking at my chrome in the settings, I am using version 130.0.6723.92 (Official Build) (x86_64)
