Tasks & Extra Work

Tasks and Extra Work let you add activities beyond regular curriculum lessons, save reusable quick-task presets, and track chores, reading goals, practice sessions, or any other assignments you want to reward.

Creating a Quick Task

From the Students tab, tap the + button and select Add Task (or use the quick-add option on a student's card):

1. Subject — Choose or type a subject name (e.g., "Chores", "Piano Practice", "Reading")
2. Description/Notes — Optional details about the task
3. Date — When the task should appear
4. Priority — Set a priority level from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest)
5. Coin Reward — How many coins the student earns for completing this task (1–100)
6. School Task — Mark the task as school-related so it counts toward school metrics instead of only extra-work streaks

Assigning to Multiple Students

When creating a task, you can assign it to one or more students. The task will appear on each selected student's schedule for that day.

Quick Task Templates

Use Settings > Quick Tasks to save reusable task presets for things you assign often.

• Templates save the task name, notes, coin reward, priority, and whether it is a school task
• When templates exist, the add menu includes a Quick Tasks option for one-tap entry
• Quick task templates always launch as single tasks so you can choose the student, date, and any last-minute tweaks when you use them
• You can select multiple templates and multiple students at once to add a batch of quick tasks for the same day

Recurrence Patterns

Tasks can be one-time or recurring. Choose from these recurrence patterns:

• Single — One-time task on a specific date
• Daily — Repeats every day
• Weekdays — Repeats Monday through Friday
• Weekly — Repeats every 7 days from the start date (same day of the week each week)
• Monthly — Repeats on the same date each month (e.g., the 15th of every month)
• Custom — Repeats on selected days of the week (e.g., every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday)

For recurring tasks, you can also set a start date and end date to limit the recurrence range. Weekly and custom repeats also support an Every N Weeks interval, so you can schedule something every other week, every third week, and so on.

Managing Recurring Task Definitions

Recurring tasks are managed through task definitions — the master template that generates individual task instances.

• Edit the definition to change all future instances (subject, coins, priority, etc.)
• Changes to the definition do not affect already-completed instances
• View and manage all definitions from the task management area

Deleting Tasks

• Delete a single instance — Removes just one occurrence of a recurring task
• Delete the entire series — Removes the definition and all future instances

Editing Existing Tasks

Open an existing task to update its details later.

• Single tasks can be edited in place
• Recurring tasks can be updated for future work, including the repeat pattern, selected days, and every-N-weeks interval
• Shared tasks can be adjusted for one or more students without recreating the task from scratch

Completing Tasks

Mark tasks complete from any view:

• Day View — Tap the completion toggle next to the task
• Kanban View — Drag the card to the "Completed" column
• Students Tab — Tap the task checkbox

When a task is completed, the student earns the configured coin reward. If you undo a completion, the coins are automatically reversed.

Skip Tasks on Holidays

In Settings, you can enable Skip tasks on holidays/breaks. When enabled, recurring tasks will not appear on days that fall on configured holidays or custom breaks.
