How do I give a task a due date?

Short answer

A due date is the day a task has to be done by; plans make room before it. Setting or changing one and getting a heads-up the day before are part of Pro; seeing a due date and removing it are always free.

Steps

  1. On Today, tap the task to open its details. For a task in Parked, use the row's ••• menu.
  2. Tap Add a due date.
  3. If you like, first pick The day before, A week before too or Never under Remind me.
  4. Tap Today, Tomorrow, Friday, Next Friday or Pick a date…. The sheet closes and the task shows "Due Friday".
  5. To change or remove it, tap that chip; Remove due date clears it.

A due date is a date only, never a time. If you say "by Friday" or "due Friday" in a brain dump, Brizemi catches it and takes it out of the title: "Finish the report by Friday" becomes "Finish the report · Due Friday". Repeating tasks have no due date.

Plans protect a task that's due like a must-do, and Rescue keeps it in place as long as it fits. If something due today doesn't fit, Rescue says so plainly and it waits in Parked. A due date that has passed reads "Was due …"; no red, no counting.

With Pro, a calm heads-up comes before the due date: "Due tomorrow" the day before, and a week before too if you like. From it you can tap Add to today or Plan tomorrow. If the task is already planned for that day or the day before, no heads-up comes. Things that are due soon also join your new plans on their own.
