How-To

Customise settings

Set up myDailyTasks defaults so capture, planning, review, and privacy controls match the way you work.

Before you start

  • Open Settings in myDailyTasks.
  • Create any tags you want to reuse before choosing a default tag.

Steps

  1. Choose the background style and starting screen you want the app to open into.
  2. Set visible task filtering, task sort order, and how long completed tasks stay in the live planner.
  3. Choose the default priority and default tag for new tasks.
  4. Manage configured tags, including tag colour and whether each tag belongs to weekdays, weekends, or anytime.
  5. Set the Daily Planner timeline range, Work Day hours, work days and automatic planning breaks.
  6. For optional weather, choose Current Location to request location permission, or City or Area to enter a place without device location access. Turning weather on alone does not request permission.
  7. Review reminders, carryover, Calendar Rules, App Lock, iCloud, and Premium controls from their settings sections.
  8. Open Services > About & Support when you need the installed app version for support.

Confirm the setup is working

  • A newly created draft uses the intended defaults, and reopening Settings preserves your choices.

If a setting appears to have no effect, confirm the active screen uses that setting; for example, Work Day hours affect Daily Planner autofill and tag day-period rules affect carryover destinations.
