Loopy is for important things that don't happen every day. Some tasks are easy to forget precisely because they only come up once in a while: booking a dentist appointment, changing bed sheets, treating your pet, getting a haircut, changing your car's oil, renewing a subscription, or taking care of something around the house. They don't need your attention every day—but you don't want to forget them. Loopy keeps these recurring tasks and reminders in one place, so you always know what you've done and when it's time to do it again. And if you do something earlier or later than planned, Loopy adjusts with you. Complete a task on the day you actually did it, and the next due date is calculated from that date—not from the old schedule. For example: a task repeats every 14 days. It was due April 1, but you completed it April 5. The next date becomes April 19.
