Can I set a reminder that repeats every day?

Yes. A repeat can be daily, weekdays only, weekly, monthly, yearly, or every N hours between two times of day. Each task has its own schedule, its own Tempo and its own Intensity.

Can I get reminders on weekdays only?

Yes. Choose the weekdays repeat and the task stays quiet on Saturday and Sunday. A task that repeats weekly runs on the one day you pick.

Is until. a habit tracker?

It is a reminder and task tracker that works well for habits such as water, stretching or reading, but it is not a habit-scoring app. There are no streak counters, points or badges. It shows how many of today’s repeats you closed, and a week of stats.

What happens if I miss a day?

The missed one stays open in the list and can still be closed, so it is recorded as a fact rather than erased. When the next one comes due, the older one goes quiet and only the newest keeps reminding you.

How does it help me stick to a habit?

It cannot do the habit for you, but it removes the excuse that you forgot. The reminder comes back by itself, arrives sooner when you swipe it away, gets harder to ignore and ends only when you answer Done, a Wait you chose, or a deliberate skip.

Can I have a reminder every few hours?

Yes. Pick a repeat of every N hours between two times of day, for example every two hours from 9:00 to 19:00. It is one task, and the day’s card shows how many of the repeats you closed so far.

Recurring reminders

Recurring reminders that come back until you do the habit.

The short version. A recurring reminder in until. can run every day, on weekdays only, weekly, monthly, yearly, or every N hours between two times of day. What sets it apart is what happens after it fires: an ordinary daily reminder is gone once you swipe it, and this one comes back until you tap Done. There are no streak counters or scores, on purpose.

Most habits don’t fail at the moment you decide to start them. They fail on day nine, at 7:40 in the morning, when the reminder went off while your hands were full and you meant to come back to it. A daily reminder app that only repeats the same notification tomorrow doesn’t fix that. Coming back in ten minutes does.

The schedules there are

Daily — the same time every day.
Weekdays only — for the routine that belongs to the working week and stays quiet at weekends.
Weekly — one day a week, such as the Sunday call.
Monthly and yearly — for the things that come round slowly.
Every N hours between two times of day — for something that has to happen several times a day, such as every two hours from 9:00 to 19:00. It is one task, and the day’s card shows how many of its repeats you have closed so far.

Each task has its own schedule, its own Tempo and its own Intensity, so a gentle weekly thing and a firm daily one don’t interfere. Thirty ready-made templates and your own save you from retyping a setup you use often.

Habits people set up

Water. Every two hours between 9:00 and 19:00, Gentle tempo, Quiet intensity. It is a nudge, so it does not need to shout.
Stretching. Weekdays at 11:00, Steady tempo, Loud. The kind of thing that is easy to postpone because the day is already moving.
Reading. Every day at 21:30, Gentle tempo. Close it when you have read, or use Wait if the evening is not over yet.
A weekly one. Weekly on Sunday, such as calling your parents or planning the week.

These are examples of how to set the dials, not recommendations for how much water to drink or how long to read. That is for you to decide. If a routine came from a doctor or trainer, see remembering what you were told to do.

How coming back helps a habit stick

We don’t claim an app can build a habit for you. The doing is yours. What it can do is take away the most common reason a habit slips, which is that you forgot, or you saw the reminder, meant to and didn’t. The loop stays open until you answer.

It comes back by itself. No need to remember to remind yourself.
It reacts when you ignore it. A swipe is a deferral, so the next one arrives sooner.
It gets harder to ignore. Silent first, then with sound, and at most an alarm if you allowed it. One rung for every two reminders you leave unanswered.
Wait has a price. A real number of minutes that shrinks each time, so putting it off is possible but not forever.
It stops when you answer. Done, a wait you chose, or a skip you meant. Nothing nags you about it afterwards.

The details, with real intervals, are on the persistent reminders page.

Keeping a habit reminder from becoming noise

Set Quiet intensity for anything that is a nudge rather than a deadline. It never climbs past an ordinary sound.
Use quiet hours, so silent and sound reminders wait out the night instead of arriving in a burst at seven.
Choose the Once tempo for something you want to be told about but not chased about: a single notification, no repeats.
Pause one task, or everything, for a trip or a bad week.
After a day unanswered the pulse relaxes to a heartbeat instead of climbing further.

If you miss a day

An ordinary daily reminder replaces yesterday’s with today’s, and the one you missed stops existing. Here it stays open. When the next one comes due, the older one goes quiet, stays in the list, and stays closable, so only the newest keeps reminding you. A week away does not become forty notifications.

What is not there

Honesty matters more than a longer feature list. until. is a reminder and task tracker, not a habit-scoring app.

No streak counters. There is no chain to break and no number that punishes a missed day.
No points, levels or badges.
No habit library or coaching. It does not tell you which habits to have, or how.
What there is: a count of how many of today’s repeats you closed, a record of what you closed and when, and a week’s worth of stats.
Platform: an Android app, coming to Google Play, with no store listing yet. There is no web or iOS app yet. Reminders can also arrive in Telegram.

More about due dates, bundles and routines is on the task tracker page.
