Top Navigation
Bottom Navigation
Click a tab to switch sections.
The “Tasks” section in RytePad (under the “Tasks” tab) is your go-to for managing daily to-dos.
It’s date-based, so tasks are tied to specific days, with sections for Pending and Completed items.
Add, edit, complete, or delete tasks with ease.
Free users can create unlimited tasks and track progress with sound effects and calendar dots.
Upgrade to Pro for advanced features like automatically carrying over unfinished tasks to the next day & more.
Log in to RytePad and open the dashboard.
In the bottom navigation, click the 📋 Tasks tab (first icon, labeled “Tasks”).
Tip: Use “Refresh” (🔃) in the header to reload.
In the “Add A Task” input, type your to-do (e.g., “Water plants” or “Call doctor”—up to 500 characters max per each task).
Click Add Task.
Example: Add “Buy groceries”—it shows up ready to manage. No limits—add as many as needed!
In Pending Tasks or Completed sections:
Tip: Hover over any pending or completed task to view its timestamp.
Pending tasks show the date and time they were added.
Completed tasks display both the added and completion date and time.
Use arrows (‹ ›) for prev/next day, or click the date to open the calendar.
Pick a date—tasks load automatically.
Example: Go to tomorrow to plan ahead, or last week to review. No future limits—pre-plan freely!
This feature automatically carries over any pending tasks to the next day at midnight (00:00).
Copied tasks will have a prefix to show how many days they’ve been carried forward.
Example: If your task was “Call an Old Friend” and it wasn’t completed, the next day it will appear as “D1|: Call an Old Friend.”
On the following day, if still incomplete, it becomes “D2|: Call an Old Friend.”
Tasks will continue copying daily until you mark them complete, or until they reach Day 10 (D10). After that, they will no longer be copied automatically.
Enabling / Disabling:
In your Dashboard (click your name in header), find “Auto Copy Tasks Next Day.”
Check the box to enable.
Click 🔍 Search (top menu).
In “Search Tasks” sub-tab, add text (e.g., “groceries”) and/or dates (start/end).
