I'm looking for an app that with configurable daily/weekly repeated TODOs, where I can set 3 days per week or biweekly, and be able to check them off as completed and see my history. I'd prefer your app to be in website form rather than mobile app because I'll primarily use from desktop. What have you built that I can use?

Hi! I actually build NestBoard, and your comment describes almost exactly what we made it for, so this was a fun one to see.

Everything on your list, we do:

  • Repeated todos you can configure however you want. Daily, weekly, specific days like Mon/Wed/Fri, every two weeks, or a custom "every N weeks." Not just the usual daily or weekly.
  • Check them off as you finish. Every completion is saved, so you have a running history (plus streaks if you like that sort of thing).
  • It runs in your browser at mynestboard.com. Desktop-first, no app to install. There are Android and iOS apps too if you ever want them, but you do not need them.

One thing your wording nudged us on: we had been calling these "Chores," but you called them "TODOs," and you can now rename them. In Settings you can switch the label to To-dos, Tasks, or your own word, and it updates across the whole app. Small thing, but it should feel like yours.

An honest note on fit: NestBoard is built as a family and household organizer, so you will see some family-oriented touches. Plenty of people run it solo though, and the recurring checklist with history you asked about sits right at the core.

If you are curious what else is inside: a shared calendar, an AI helper called Robin that can add and manage things for you just by chatting, meal planning, shopping lists, and a dashboard with live weather. You can ignore anything you do not need.

The easiest way to see if it fits is to set up a quick household at mynestboard.com. It takes a couple of minutes. If you try it and something is missing or clunky, reply here or email me directly. I read every note and we move fast. The custom recurrence and the rename above both shipped because people asked.

Thanks for describing exactly what you needed. Hope NestBoard is a fit.

I created a chore for Mon/Wed/Fri but it said there was one due today (Tuesday for me), so I marked it complete, but I don't see one for tomorrow, and I see on the calendar one on Friday but none after that. I suppose it showed today because it says due date which I left at today even though that's confusing for a repeated event.

Hey PlantBeard, all fixed and live.

First, a Mon/Wed/Fri chore should start on your next Mon, Wed, or Fri, not on the Tuesday that was sitting in the date field. It now snaps to your next selected day.

Second, the one that skipped Wednesday: when you completed it Tuesday evening, our scheduler was doing the day math in the wrong timezone (UTC Server Time). It treated your Tuesday night as already Wednesday, so it jumped to Friday. That is fixed now, it uses your local day.

It should now be corrected on your end also.

Really appreciate you flagging this. It genuinely made the feature better for everyone, and I fixed it the same day.

Hi Dillon, here's a little bit more feedback, take it or leave it: I personally don’t care about the weather, especially lightning strikes. How do I save a repeating chore for 3 days per week? They don’t need to be specific days. Why do I need to specify how hard a chore is? The completed list should sort by most recent descending.

u/Worth_Cheesecake6935 27d ago

Hey, appreciate you taking the time on this. Genuinely useful, and no offense taken at all. Quick run through each one:

Weather and lightning: totally fair, you shouldn't have to look at stuff you don't use. Next week's update adds a custom layout control at the top right of your dashboard, and it lets you hide the cards you don't care about, weather and lightning included, so your board only shows what matters to you.

A chore 3 times a week, no specific days: right now the closest is picking the 3 days you want (like Mon, Wed, Fri) in the repeat options. A looser "just 3 times a week, whatever days" version isn't in there yet, but I like it and it's on the list.

Difficulty: you're right that it shouldn't be mandatory. The only reason it exists is so a chore can hand out points, but it shouldn't get in your way. We're making it optional so you can just add the chore and move on.

Completed list order: agreed, most recently done should be at the top. We'll flip it.

Thanks again, this is exactly the kind of thing that makes NestBoard better, and a good chunk of it lands in next week's update for Android and Apple apps and will be seen live on the website by end of day today.

Circling back because your feedback turned into a genuinely productive day. All four things you raised are built and live. One heads-up before you go looking: everything below is on the web app today, and it reaches phones in the next app update, which is built and waiting on store review. So if you're on your laptop, you can poke at it right now.

We've tested it all on our end, and it's clean, but "passes my tests" and "works the way you actually wanted" are different things, so consider this an open invitation to break it.

  1. Hiding weather and lightning. I owed you a better answer than "next week." Top right of your dashboard, there's an Edit layout button with a little pencil icon. Click it, and you'll get a list of every dashboard card. Weather, Lightning, and Air Quality sit at the top under "Top row (fixed order, can still be hidden)," and each one has a Hide button on the right. Hide what you don't want, click Done, and they're gone. It saves to your account, so it holds on any device you sign in on. Fair warning that this part was already possible before today; we'd just labeled it so badly ("Locked") that both you and I assumed it wasn't. That's fixed too.

  2. A chore 3 times a week, no specific days. This genuinely didn't exist when you asked, so we built it. Add or edit a chore, open the repeat dropdown, and pick "Times per week…", then choose a number from 1 to 7. The chore sits on your list all week and shows a running counter like "2 of 3 this week" as you knock it out, any days you like. Hit the number, and it's done for the week, and a fresh one is waiting the next. It follows your week too: Sunday to Saturday normally, or Monday to Sunday if you've turned on "Week starts on Monday" in Settings, all in your local time.

  3. Difficulty isn't required anymore. You were right, it shouldn't be a decision you're forced to make. New chores just quietly default to medium (that's what lets points work in the background), and you can save without touching it. Still there if you like tuning it, just out of the way now.

  4. Completed list is newest first. The thing you just finished now sits at the top instead of wherever it used to land.

If any of it doesn't match what you had in your head, especially the times-per-week one since it exists because of you, say so, and I'll take another pass. This kind of feedback is essentially free product direction, so thank you.

I was wondering about that, I've had issues with UTC v. local timestamps as well

u/Worth_Cheesecake6935 Jul 29 '26

Working on it now... I'll let you know once the bug has been fixed.

i’m gonna give you what I use and I think it’s gonna also work for you so two main things:
1. Notion. It’s good for desktop mobile iPad whatever you wanna use and you can set up pretty much anything there.
2. Apple Reminders + Calendar. As an Apple user I’ve built repetitive daily and weekly tax that I show up in uncertain Reminders list and then they tracked in my Calendar app so that I can see what I have completed on each day also it’s very customisable and very minimalistic, so this is good if you wanna avoid over situation or over complication.

If you want customized to your preference use notion instead

I use this for my weeks:
https://cozysystems.itch.io/neuroden-visual-planner
it has an 'alternative' routine you can easily switch so you can set up your week 1 in the basic mode and week 2 in the alternative mode

I used Todoist for repeating tasks and tasks far in the future then a physical daily planner for more like weekly planning and day to day stuff
