Core concepts

A task has a name, notes, an optional device it's attached to, and a recurrence:

• Floating (form: Repeats after each completion) — measured from the last completion: "replace the fridge filter every 1 month after I last did it." Completing the task resets the clock; a missed task stays overdue rather than silently rolling forward.
• Fixed (form: Repeats on a fixed schedule) — an anchored calendar schedule: "take medicine every day at 8am", independent of when you actually complete it.
• One-off (form: Just once) — do-once (see One-off tasks below).
• Triggered — monitored, no schedule (see below).
• Sensor-based (form: Based on a sensor) — driven by a numeric sensor instead of the clock: "service the generator every 500 running hours" or "replace the filter when airflow drops below 60%" (see Sensor-based tasks below).

An appliance (asset) is the physical thing a task is about — a fridge, furnace, water heater (see Appliances & virtual devices).
