How to use reminders & recurring tasks in Locodo

Beginner · 4 min read

The whole point of a to-do app is that things don't slip. Locodo gives you reminders that reliably fire and flexible repeats for anything that happens more than once. Here's how to set them up.

Set a reminder

Open a task and tap Add reminder. Pick a date and time, and Locodo schedules a local notification on your device. You can also let natural language do it — type “Dentist Friday at 3pm” when creating the task and the reminder is set automatically.

Urgent reminders that break through

For things you truly can't miss, turn on Urgent when a reminder is set. Urgent reminders use a time-sensitive alert that cuts through Focus and Do Not Disturb, so a silenced phone won't swallow your most important nudge.

Create a recurring task

Open a task, tap Repeat, and choose how often it should come back:

• Daily — habits like “Take vitamins”.
• Weekdays — work routines, Monday to Friday.
• Weekly on specific days — e.g. every Tuesday and Thursday.
• Monthly — keep the same date, or snap to the last day of the month.
• Every N weeks — bi-weekly pay days, fortnightly cleaning, and so on.

When you complete a recurring task, Locodo automatically creates the next occurrence with the right date — you never re-enter it.

“Remind me here” (location reminders)

Some things are about place, not time. Set a location reminder on a task and Locodo will nudge you when you arrive at or leave a spot — “buy milk when I leave work”. It's handled entirely on your device with no location tracking or history.

Tips for reliable reminders

• Give important tasks a specific time, not just a date, so the alert lands when you'll act on it.
• Use Urgent sparingly — reserve it for the things that genuinely can't wait.
• Check Settings if a reminder didn't appear; Locodo will tell you if notifications are disabled.
