My recurring tasks
Read full descriptionHide full description
βMy Tasksβ is designed for maintenance, routines, and recurring responsibilities β not disposable tasks. Everything that needs to be done regularly stays visible in one clear overview β no disappearing tasks, no re-planning. Instead of checking off tasks and letting them disappear, your tasks always remain in your task list. This helps you build stable routines for recurring responsibilities like maintenance, household tasks, or daily habits. For each task, you can see when it was last completed and how many times youβve done it. This approach creates calm and clarity. βMy Tasksβ is especially helpful for people with autism or anyone who benefits from structure, predictability, and repetition. No surprises, no lost tasks β just one reliable system. At the same time, the app is simple and practical for anyone who wants more structure in their routines. Set reminders per task with ease. The badge indicator shows when a task needs to be done again or is approaching its next moment, without you having to track anything manually. No time right now? Skip a task. It stays in your list and youβll be reminded again later. Nothing disappears β everything remains part of your fixed overview. Organize tasks into categories, so you can quickly see clear lists per topic. This keeps your task list structured and helps you stay on top of recurring tasks and routines.
Cadence

Cadence is a calm, beautifully simple way to keep up with the things you do again and again β the tasks that don't have a single due date, but a rhythm. Instead of one-off reminders that nag you at a fixed time, Cadence todos reset on the clock. Tick one off and it moves to Completed. When its interval's next boundary passes, it quietly returns to your active list, ready to do again. No streaks to break, no guilt β just a clear picture of what's due right now. WHY CADENCE IS DIFFERENT Resets happen on absolute clock boundaries, not relative to when you finished. "Every 6 hours" always resets at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 β not six hours after you happened to tap it. "Every day" resets at midnight. So your whole list stays in step with the actual time of day. SEVEN SIMPLE INTERVALS β’ Every hour β’ Every 6 hours β’ Every 12 hours β’ Every day β’ Every other day β’ Every week β’ Every two weeks β’ Custom A todo is just two things: what it says, and how often it repeats. That's the whole idea. EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE β’ Active and Completed sections, so you always know what's left β’ Tap to complete β and tap a completed item to bring it back early β’ Drag to reorder your active list; your order is remembered β’ Swipe to delete A HOME-SCREEN WIDGET Add the Cadence widget in three sizes to see what's due at a glance. It shows as many of your active todos as will fit; tap it to jump straight into the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Cadence keeps everything on your device. There's no account to create, no iCloud, no sign-in, and no internet connection required. It collects no data, shows no ads, and contains no trackers and no third-party integrations. Your todos are yours alone. MADE FOR EVERYDAY RHYTHMS Perfect for hydration and stretch breaks, medication and supplement routines, chores and cleaning, pet care, watering the plants, posture checks, and any healthy habit you want to keep on a steady cadence. Download Cadence and find your rhythm.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cadence at every 4 days against My recurring tasks's every 9 days. My recurring tasks's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.5 vs 26.2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
