This is now live on all platforms (including iOS)!
You can now select "Custom" as a recurring task option and you have a wide range of options to choose from
Please let me know if you have any issues with this directly :)

in progress
I'll begin working on this for iOS / Web this week!
Feel free to comment any specific use case you have so that I can make sure to account for it :)

I would love more robust recurring task support. There is a task I am looking to have repeat on the 1st of every month, so this would be super helpful!

"Repeat after completion" would also be super helpful
Chris
Bec: Hey Bec! Could you elaborate more on this? Having trouble thinking what this would look like

Chris: what I mean is that you set the repetition (eg every 5 days after completion), but then the task just sits there (& rolls over to the next day if not done), until it’s marked complete, when the next copy is generated (in this example, for 5 days ahead). Plenty of task managers (Todoist, Things etc) have this. It’s really helpful for tasks that should be done regularly but don’t necessarily have a fixed schedule. It would also solve the problem of multiple copies of a daily task building up - you could set to repeat “one day after completion” so it would only create the next occurrence once you did the previous one.
Chris
Bec: Unfortunately was not able to fit this into the update (mainly due to technical complexity) so I've created a separate feedback post for this https://feedback.ellieplanner.com/feature-requests/p/repeat-after-completion
Idea is really cool though, I looked into how the other apps implement it and will definitely be adding this in the future

Would love the ability to prevent multiple copies of a recurring task showing for the day if I didn't check off that task the day before.
Chris
Kyla: I'll fix this in the next update :)

Chris: awesome thank you! You’re crushing it!
Chris
Kyla: Appreciate that Kyla!
Also Just pushed an update for this :) can you let me know if you still encounter this?

Ability to create recurring tasks to your needs like same day of every month or every # of months (ex: every 15th of the month, every 6 months, etc.)
N
Nat
Ability for tasks to have a custom specific time reoccurrence would be helpful (like every day at 1pm for example). Thank you for being so open to user feedback!!
Chris
Nat: Hey Nat, this is now available for testing at https://beta.ellieplanner.com and will be rolled out soon :) Would love your feedback
