 | ramercer 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? Posted at 1:57pm on April 15, 2009 |

 | rajjan  says:In the meantime, maybe you could add several tasks, due at different times and have them repeat daily? Posted 2 years ago |
 | ranbarton 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. Posted 2 years ago |
| ranbarton says: @rajjan - great minds think alike? Posted 2 years ago |
| ramercer says: Thats what I ended up doing. Thanks. Posted 2 years ago |
| rajjan says: ranbarton: at exactly the same time too, spooky! Posted 2 years ago |
 | emily (Remember The Milk) says: ranbarton & rajjan, sometimes I feel like you guys are fighting it out for the title of, "most helpful forum poster" :) I think you both win! Posted 2 years ago |
| ranbarton says: That's why we make the big bucks, eh, Rajjan?

| rajjan says: ranbarton: Well, I don't know about you, but posting here at RTM is more of a hobby for me, and as such, I'm just glad that it doesn't cost me lots of money like my other hobbies ;-) Posted 2 years ago |
| lichuan says: 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? Posted 2 years ago |
| ewaldorf 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. Posted 2 years ago |
| anthonyd says: 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? Posted 2 years ago |
| davidbwagner says: I was just about to post this request when a search revealed this topic. In my case I'd like to use my android RTM app to remind me to take medication every 4 hours. I might not start taking it at the same time each morning so the "multiple events each repeating daily" hack does not work. What I really want is to say repeat = "after 4 hours".

| christianmagill says: I want this feature to. It would be great for making desired behavior habitual. Posted 2 years ago |
| raguza says: I find it hard to comprehend why is such important option missing? I'm new to RTM considering going pro, however I have tasks that need repeating every hour. Any idea if this option is coming, anyone? Posted 1 year ago |
 | jansona says: I have another use for repeat every hour or minute, I want to set a task as "repeat every 4 hour for 1 time", with a due date matching the start time for the task. So i complete it once to start it, then complete it a second time to mark the end/completion of the task. Good for tasks with durations. Posted 1 year ago |
| d3a1i0 says: I also requested this feature. I did not see that someone had already done so. Posted 8 months ago |
