Nice little helper

Very useful for frequent tasks.

Archive tasks?

Good app. Wish you could archive tasks (which would put them in an “inactive” section), without fully deleting them or their details.

No 45 Day Option

I have to change the AC filter on my HVAC system every 45 days but the app does not have a preset option for 45 days

No Longer Supported?

Has not been updated in four years. Don’t think it is being developed anymore.
