Recurring task templates

Applies to 1.6 updated 21 September 2026

A recurring task template creates new tasks by itself according to the frequency you choose — daily, weekly or once a month — so regular household chores don’t need to be entered again each time. Templates can only be created, edited and deleted by admins and parents.

Where to find a template

In the main navigation, open Expenses and click the Recurring button (on mobile: More → Recurring). The Recurring page opens.
Switch to the Tasks tab.
Click New recurring and pick Recurring task from the menu.

The Tasks tab in Recurring with four recurring task templates, all in the active state — The Tasks tab shows every template, its frequency and its status.

The New recurring task dialog opens.

What to fill in

Field	Required	What it means
Title	yes	The short name every task created from this template will carry.
Description	no	Details about the task.
Frequency	yes	Daily, Weekly or Monthly — the template offers no other options.
Day of week	Weekly only	Which day of the week the task should appear on.
Day of month	Monthly only	Which day of the month (1–31) the task should appear on.
Start date	yes	When the template starts creating tasks.
Priority	no	None, Low, Medium or High. The default is None.
Assignee	no	The family member, including a child account, who will be responsible for the created tasks.
Reward value	no	How many points (or how much money) completing it is worth. The field only appears when the family has rewards switched on.

Editing, pausing and deleting

At the end of the template’s row, click ⋮ (Row actions):

Edit opens the same form, this time titled Edit recurring task and pre-filled with the template’s values.
Pause / Resume temporarily stops or restarts task creation from the template. The flow and confirmation dialog are exactly the same as for payments — described in detail in Pause and resume.
Delete removes the template permanently once confirmed in the Delete template dialog.

The Edit recurring task dialog pre-filled with frequency, priority, assignee and reward value — Edit recurring task opened from the template's row, with its values pre-filled.

What happens next

According to the template’s frequency, Nestino creates individual tasks over time — you’ll find them in the Tasks overview and in the Calendar, together with the due date and assignee set by the template.
