Set task due dates and reminders

Use a due date for the time a task should be finished. Add a reminder when you also want to be alerted about it.

Set a deadline and reminder

1. Open a task's details and select Set due date, or select its current due date. You can also open the due date from its Table column.
2. Choose a calendar day or edit Date and Time, then select Save. The time zone shown below the fields is the one used for editing.
3. For a quick deadline, hover over In an hour, Tomorrow, In 7 days, or In 30 days to preview the result. Selecting a shortcut saves immediately and closes the dialog after it succeeds.
4. Select Cancel, press Escape, or click outside the dialog to discard calendar or typed edits.
5. Add a reminder or use Set Repeat Schedule when needed.
6. To clear a saved deadline and its dependent reminder settings, open the dialog and select Remove.

Due date, repeating reminder, or template schedule?

A due date sets a deadline for this task. A repeating task reminder can send future alerts, but it does not create new checklists. To create fresh work automatically, schedule a template. Some recipients and advanced reminder timings need a paid plan.
