How do I add a recurring task?

2. Add a date and time (next occurrence e.g. 5pm).
3. Enable the reminder.
4. Set a repeat e.g. daily.
5. Save.

NOTE: Tasks will honour the schedule set. When you receive a notification the date and time will automatically increment to the next occurrence. Recurring tasks will be reset at midnight ready to be completed again.

How do I undo a delete?
