How to set up a recurring event

Set an event once for weekly meetings, monthly bills or daily routines. Turn on repeat, choose the frequency, and let Pumpynotes place the event on your calendar automatically.

A recurring event reappears in the calendar on its own at the interval you set (daily, weekly, monthly or yearly). You set it up from the Repeat tab in the left menu while creating or editing an event. The six steps below cover all of it.

1
Turn on repeat
When you open the event editor, go to the Repeat tab in the left menu. Turn on the yellow switch at the top right and the event starts repeating; right below it you choose the frequency.

Choose the days of the week
When you pick Every week, the days of the week appear. Mark which days the event repeats on; for example only Monday, Wednesday and Friday. By raising the "every week" number you can also set intervals like every two weeks.

Set a custom repeat
With the Custom… option you can define your own interval. Set the number and pick its unit (day, week, month, year). For example, choosing "2 weeks" and marking the days makes the event repeat every two weeks on the days you selected.

Set an end date
If you don't want the repeat to go on forever, you can add an end date. This field is optional; if you leave it empty, the event keeps repeating until you turn it off.

The repeat icon in the calendar
A recurring event's card shows a small repeat icon (⟳) in the top right. This icon lets you tell at a glance that the event repeats rather than being one-off.

You can turn a one-off event into a recurring one later: open the event, go to the Repeat tab and flip the switch. The same way, turning the repeat off makes the event one-off again.
