Automatic task rollover

A to-do list with automatic task rollover.

Unfinished tasks carry into the next day when you open Naremis. Earlier dates keep a read-only history, so you can see where the work started and when it was finished.

Rollover connects dated pages without rewriting earlier ones.

A three-day example

One task, three truthful pages.

Suppose “Send the revised proposal” begins on Monday and is not finished until Wednesday.

□ Send the revised proposal

Unfinished at day’s end.

□ Send the revised proposal

Active here; Monday keeps a moved trace.

✓ Send the revised proposal

Completed here; Tuesday keeps its trace too.

Rollover

Let tomorrow catch what today missed.

Automatic rollover is the default path for unfinished tasks. The task advances only one local day at a time, so the notebook can show each date it passed through.

What stays behind

The earlier page receives a moved occurrence linked to the active task. It remains read-only history, not a duplicate task you must clean up.

Scheduling

Choose a future day when you already know.

Scheduling is deliberate: you select the date where the task belongs. Rollover is observational: Naremis carries forward what remained unfinished. Both preserve a movement trace, but they describe different decisions.

A practical rule

If the task simply did not happen, leave it to roll. If you have decided it belongs on Friday, schedule it for Friday. If it no longer matters, cancel it so it stops moving.

Rollover is different from a recurring task

Rollover

The same unfinished task moves forward. Once you complete or cancel it, it stops carrying into later days.

Recurring tasks

A repeating rule creates work again on a schedule, even after you completed the previous task. Naremis does not support recurring tasks.

When rollover happens

Naremis catches up when you open or return to the notebook, using your local calendar day. It preserves a trace for each missed day; it does not need to run in the background at midnight.

  1. Add today’s task in the browser.
  2. Leave it unfinished and return on a later day.
  3. Use the calendar to see its history, then complete, cancel, or schedule the active task.

Start with today
