says:Some times I need to do a task every x hours, it currently appears that the minimal timescale on which you set tasks to repeat is every day. Could more finegrained control be added?

says:In the meantime, maybe you could add several tasks, due at different times and have them repeat daily?

says:This request crops up periodically, and the usual suggested workaround is to set multiple tasks, e.g., one that repeats daily at 9am, another at noon, and a third at 3. It's a kludge, but it will get the trick done.

Jep, light-weight task that simply reminds me in any given interval, greatly useful. If the answer is "find another reminder tool", so why I chose RTM at all?

says:I would also love repeat to work for minutes & hours as well. I am always wanting to remember something specific during the day & I want to be reminded (with my vibrating iphone) every 10 minutes or 30 minutes till I do it. Other times, if it's really important I might want to be reminded of the same thing every minute for say 3 times, to make sure I got the message.

I third the ability to have a task repeat every hour rather than creating X amount of tasks with different due times. It seems like it could be implemented without much effort since their system is already checking tasks every minute. Maybe they foresee it would be too burdensome on the current server resources and they'll implement when they have larger headroom?
