Recurring Tasks

This is one of our most requested features: Capacities now has full support for recurring tasks out of the box! 🚀 ✅

You can now set a task to repeat and keep working from the same task object. When you complete it (or skip it), Capacities logs that occurrence and moves the date to the next one automatically.

Recurring tasks support both ways people actually plan:

  • Scheduled Date for fixed rhythms like every Monday or every month on the 15th
  • Completion Date for flexible intervals like every 3 days after you finish

You can also customize the recurrence patterns in detail, add an end date, and much more. You can explore it in the dropdown in the date picker.

Capacities helps you when working with tasks. If you missed a recurring task you can simply skip it. Also if you know you can't do a task (perhaps you're on holiday), you can excuse the task and keep your streak.

If a recurring task is overdue, you have the option to also move it to the current or next occurrence.

Task Stats (Experimental)

Each recurring task includes an occurrence log, streak stats, and a heatmap so you can see how things are going over time.

On top, you can see a Completion log of your recurring task below.

All completed recurring tasks show up in your "Completed" section of the tasks dashboard.

You can all get a bird's eye view of all recurring tasks in the new 'Recurring' section in the task dashboard.

All future occurrences of a task are rendered with a dashed line around the check box in your calendar.

If you want to know all about recurring tasks, you can read the documentation.

Choose your model provider for Capacities AI

Capacities AI now supports multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Mistral and xAI). You can choose your preferred model in the AI chat every time you start a chat.

The model picker within the AI Assistant shows more information about the model.

  • Capacities host as many models as possible in European data centers under strict data protection laws.. You can now see which models are hosted in the EU. Learn more.
  • Usage cost. You can see how quickly the model uses your AI budget.

In the settings, you can also choose your preferred model provider. Capacities will use it as a default for all AI features that allow the selection of a model. Learn more.
