Tasks
The Tasks module is TAP’s core habit tracker. Each task repeats on a schedule you define, tracks a streak, and can be completed by tapping your iPhone to an NFC sticker — no app required.
Creating a task
Section titled “Creating a task”Tap + on the Tasks screen and fill in:
- Name — what the task is
- Repeat interval — how often it should recur (see below)
- Times per interval — how many completions count as done within each interval
- Reminder time(s) — one or more times to be notified, or “Anytime” to disable scheduled reminders
- Accent colour — used for the status dot and history display
Repeat intervals
Section titled “Repeat intervals”| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 12 hrs | Resets twice daily |
| 1 day | Resets every day |
| 2 days | Resets every 2 days |
| 3 days | Resets every 3 days |
| Weekly | Resets every 7 days |
| 2 weeks | Resets every 14 days |
| Monthly | Resets every 30 days |
Multi-completion tasks
Section titled “Multi-completion tasks”Set Times per interval higher than 1 if you want to complete a task multiple times per cycle — for example, drinking water 3 times a day, or taking medication twice daily.
The task shows progress as “2/3 DONE” and only counts as fully complete — and increments the streak — when all required completions in the interval are met.
Status indicators
Section titled “Status indicators”Each task shows a status dot with one of three states:
| Colour | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Green | On track | Completed within expected timeframe |
| Yellow | Due soon | 80% through the interval without a completion |
| Red | Overdue | 150% past the due point without a completion |
Notifications
Section titled “Notifications”Reminders fire at the times you specify. After you complete a task, TAP reschedules the next reminder automatically. Notifications are planned up to 21 days ahead.
To disable reminders for a specific task, set it to Anytime — the task stays active but sends no scheduled notifications.
Task history
Section titled “Task history”Each task has a 98-day dot matrix showing your completion history, grouped by month:
| Dot appearance | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Filled (accent colour) | Fully completed — all required completions met |
| Outlined (accent colour) | Partially completed — some completions, not all |
| Red | Missed — task was due but not completed |
| Dark grey | Not due that day, or before the task was created |
| Dot with ring | Today |
The history also shows your current streak and overall completion rate.
NFC sticker pairing
Section titled “NFC sticker pairing”Each task can be linked to one or more NFC stickers. Once linked, tap your iPhone to the sticker to mark the task complete — no unlocking or opening TAP needed.
To pair a sticker:
- Open the task
- Tap the NFC TAG card
- Tap Manage
- Hold your iPhone near a blank NTAG213 sticker
TAP writes the task link to the sticker. If the sticker is already linked to a different task, TAP will ask if you want to reassign it.
Recommended sticker: NTAG213 (~$10 for 50 on Amazon). Any NFC-compatible iPhone (XS or later) works.
