Tasks and habits

Tasks and habits solve similar but different problems. A task is something you do once (or a few times) and check off. A habit is something you want to do repeatedly, and what matters is consistency.

Tasks​

A task is a concrete action: buy milk, send the report, call the dentist. You tell the agent "recuérdame comprar el regalo de mamá antes del viernes" and it gets logged with a due date.

Fields​

Each task has: title, optional description, priority (high, medium, low), optional due date, status (pending, in progress, completed), and subtasks if you need to break it down into steps.

You can also set recurrence — daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or specific days of the week — for tasks that repeat but are concrete actions, not habits. "Take out the trash on Tuesdays and Thursdays" is a recurring task. "Meditate 10 minutes every morning" is a habit.

Groups​

Tasks are organized into groups — themed folders with a name, emoji, and color. You can have a "Work" group (blue, 💼), a "Home" group (green, 🏠), and a "Shopping" group (orange, 🛒). Tasks without a group go into a general inbox.

Groups can be reordered with drag-and-drop and collapsed to show only the ones you care about. Each group displays how many pending tasks it has.

Completing​

Tap the checkbox and the task is marked as completed. You can uncheck it if you made a mistake. Completed tasks are filtered separately so they don't clutter the pending ones.

Habits​

A habit is a practice you want to sustain over time. Unlike a task that gets completed and disappears, a habit is logged day by day, and what matters is the streak, the consistency, and the trend.

You tell the agent "quiero crear un hábito de leer 30 minutos cada día" and it gets created with the frequency and duration you define.

Frequency​

Three options:

  • Daily — every day
  • Weekly — once a week
  • Custom — you pick which days (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for example)

Logging​

Two ways to mark a habit as done:

  • Quick — tap the checkbox and it's logged for today
  • Detailed — open the log entry and add duration (with an hours and minutes picker) and optional notes. Useful if you want to know not just whether you meditated, but for how long

You can also log past days by tapping the corresponding cell in the grid.

The grid​

The habit detail screen shows a GitHub-style visual grid where each cell is a day: green if you completed it, empty if you didn't. You can switch the view between week, month, quarter, and year to see the trend at different scales.

Streaks and stats​

The system tracks your current streak (how many consecutive days you've kept going) and your best streak ever. It also calculates your completion rate (percentage of days completed in the last 90 days) and the total number of times you've completed the habit.

Pause​

If you need to pause a habit temporarily — for vacation, illness, or whatever reason — you can put it on pause. Your stats don't get erased and your accumulated streak doesn't break. When you reactivate it, it picks up where it left off.
