Do the checkboxes uncheck themselves for something I want to do daily?

[Chirl Crawford]

I am really trying to determine if this app is really worth the time of setting it up? I am a stay at home wife so it is just me so a lot of the team stuff I do not need and most of my list need a checkoff item that I can use daily or weekly and not have to uncheck them each day.

Trello has some nifty automations you can set up. To schedule a mass unchecking of checklists, with quite a bit of flexibility. Though the learning curve can be a bit daunting.

(Edit: Now that I think about it, there's also the Card Repeater power-up, which I think would be easier to set-up. It generates a new copy of your template card according to a schedule. Which could work better for you. It won't be as flexible as Automations, but maybe you won't require that flexibility? Either way, I've never used it so you'll have to look in to it yourself if you'd prefer that)

There's an Automation button in the top right of the screen. Scheduled automations are pretty flexible in how you want to set up the intervals. But they don't have access to the unchecking commands, which are under Rules automations. So you have to set up two separate automations, one that triggers according to a schedule, that then triggers the second Rules automation. A bit convoluted but it works.

Notes:
- I just chose an overly complicated schedule to show you can.
- I also just chose Refresh as a random name, feel free to set it to something that you'd never name a card by accident.
- #1 refers to the first list in a board, could be replaced with any list name, but it doesn't really matter because you immediately archive the card and hide it away anyways.
