Fixed schedules
Choose exact days when the work is meant to happen. The routine shows up on those dates, keeps the history tied together, and gives you a cleaner view than repeated task clones.
Feature
Recurring work that behaves like a system, not a guilt machine.
Routines give repeated work its own space. Use fixed schedules when you want structure. Use weekly targets when you need flexibility. A calendar and streaks make your consistency visible. A missed day is not treated as a failure.
Routines are part of TapTidy Pro.
Weekly or monthly goals
Some habits are better measured as "3 times this week" than "every Tuesday." Frequency goals let you reach the target even when your week is not regular.
Visible consistency
Heatmaps, current streaks, best streaks, and calendar rollups make the pattern clear. You can adjust the system instead of only feeling guilty.
Why it helps
Routines are strongest when recurring work needs its own rhythm.
This matters for habits, maintenance tasks, household chores, recurring resets, and any work that becomes noisy when it lives only as ordinary tasks with dates attached.
Personal habits
Sleep, exercise, review, journaling, medication, reading, and other repeated behaviors work better when you can see consistency instead of just today's overdue count.
Household upkeep
Trash days, resets, chore rotations, and repeat errands are easier to manage when the repeat logic and the completion history are first-class.
Realistic adjustment
If a routine keeps slipping, weekly targets make it obvious whether the problem is discipline or an unrealistic schedule.

Routines FAQ
The practical questions people ask before they trust a habit feature.
Most recurring-task systems stop at "repeat every week." The real value is in how the repeat behaves once life gets uneven.
Yes. TapTidy supports frequency-goal routines such as 3 times per week or similar recurring targets, so you can complete the work when your week actually allows it.
Yes. Current streaks, best streaks, heatmap-style consistency, and calendar rollups are part of the routines model on both web and Android.
No. Routines have their own stats, scheduling logic, and calendar behavior. The point is to treat recurring work as its own workflow, not as a pile of duplicated tasks.
If recurring work is real, the product should treat it as real.
Routines give repeated work its own calendar, consistency model, and room to breathe.
