Hi all,
The next day for a recurring todo is calculated relative from the date the previous todo is completed. This means that if you want to do something on the first day of every quarter, the first day of every 3 months should work if . the first todo is set correctly . every todo is marked complete on the first of that month (otherwise it will skip to the next month) For the first todo I think Tracks calculates from the current date, not from the start-from date (start-from is used only if it is in the future). I think you have a valid use case that the first todo should be calculated from the start-from date, not from the current date (only use current date if there is no start-date) Remember that it calculates the next occurrence from either the current-date or the completed-at date. Tracks will first add 3 months. From that date it will search for the first day of the month. So that could explain the 9 extra days. If you want specific dates on which a todo should reoccur, set the recurrence pattern to those specific days. So I'd advise to create four yearly recurring todos for 1-8, 1-11, 1-2 and 1-5 in your example.

Hmm... Thanks again, but still seems to behave the same for me - due in 99 days (which, I'm guessing, is 01-Nov - it's certainly not 01-Aug, which is when I'd expect it to be). Like you, I remember working out a work around in the past, but now I've upgraded to 2.1 I need to re-enter my recurring todos and I can't for the life of me fathom it! Anyone? Simon
