Common Questions

Q: Can I assign tasks to myself?

A: Yes! Self-assigned tasks are great for personal goals and building habits. Your partner can optionally view your progress.

Q: What happens if I miss a task?

A: Depending on your settings:

• The task may show as "Overdue"
• You might lose points (if miss penalty is set)
• Your streak may reset
• Your partner may be notified (if enabled)

Q: Can my partner see all my tasks?

A: No. Your partner sees the tasks you assign to them and the tasks they assign to you. Tasks you assign to yourself are visible only to you. There is no setting that changes this.

Q: How do recurring tasks work?

A: Each occurrence is tracked separately:

• Complete today's instance, tomorrow's becomes active
• Missing one day doesn't affect previous completions
• Points are earned per completion

Q: Can I complete a task early?

A: Yes! Some tasks even award bonus points for early completion.

Q: What if my partner never completes their tasks?

A: Consider:

• Discussing the task requirements together
• Adjusting difficulty or frequency
• Reviewing incentives to improve motivation
• Pausing or removing tasks that aren't working

Q: Do tasks sync between devices?

A: Yes, tasks sync in real-time across all your devices.

Q: Can I set a task to end after a certain number of completions?

A: Yes! When creating a recurring task, you can set:

• End date
• Total completions before ending
• No end (continues indefinitely)

Troubleshooting

Task Not Appearing

1. Check the task's schedule (is it due today?)
2. Ensure the task isn't paused
3. Pull down to refresh the list
4. Verify you're viewing the correct filter (My Tasks vs. All)

Points Not Awarded

1. Confirm the task has incentives enabled
2. Check if you met completion requirements
3. Verify the task status shows "Completed"
4. Allow a few moments for points to sync

Can't Edit Partner's Task

You can only edit tasks you created. If you want to change a task assigned to you:

• Use the Negotiate feature
• Ask your partner to edit it
• Discuss changes directly

Streak Reset Unexpectedly

Streaks may reset if:

• You missed a required completion
• The app wasn't updated with your completion in time
• There was a sync issue (try refreshing)

Contact support if you believe your streak was reset in error.
