Task management

There's always something that needs doing on a homestead. Water the chickens, move the goats, check the fence line, start seeds indoors. Some things happen every day, some once a week, and some you just forget about until it's too late.

I built the task system around repeating chores — not one-off office to-dos. You set something to repeat daily or weekly and it just shows up. There's a quick-add form right on the dashboard so you can add stuff while you're still standing there in your boots.

Recurring schedules

Set a task to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly and it shows up on the right day automatically. Completed yesterday's feeding? Great — today's is already waiting. You don't have to re-create anything.

Weekly tasks show up on the same day each week. Monthly tasks land on the same date each month. There's no complicated recurrence editor — just pick an interval and go.

Organize by category

Group tasks into categories like "Daily Chores," "Garden," "Livestock," or whatever makes sense for your setup. Tasks are grouped by category on the task page with a progress bar, so it's obvious what's done and what's still waiting.

New accounts start with some defaults (Daily Chores, Seasonal, Maintenance, Garden, Livestock) but you can rename them or make your own.

Overdue warnings

If you miss something, the dashboard tells you how many tasks are overdue. They show up on the task page too. Beats the "wait, did I do that last week?" guessing game.

Quick-add from the dashboard

There's a quick-add form right on the dashboard below today's task list. Type the task name, pick a category and repeat interval, hit "+". That's it — no separate page to navigate to.

Helper access

Going away for the weekend? You can invite a farm sitter or family member as a helper. They get their own login, see today's task list, and can check things off. They can't create or delete tasks though — that's still up to you.
