Jobs and countdowns

Sheet 04 · 5 min read · iPhone and Android

A job is anything your gear needs again and again, with how often it needs it. GearKit counts down from the last time you did it, or from the last time you used the gear, and shows the days left.

    Task

    The job’s name, as you’d say it to Siri or read it on a reminder.

    Suggestions

    Common jobs for the item’s category. A tap fills in the name.

    Where on the drawing?

    The job’s point, filled in ink. Tap another balloon to move it.

Further down Edit task

Every
1 to 99 days, weeks, months or years. “Every 2 years” for thermal paste reads the way you’d say it.
Resets
On completion: the countdown starts from the last time you did the job. On completion or use: it also starts again whenever you log usage. “Recharge after every flight” is the second kind. 06 Usage ›
Remind before due
How many days ahead the reminder comes, from 0 to 60. New jobs start with the default from Settings, 3 days unless you changed it. 08 Reminders ›
Optional task
Nice to have. It reminds silently and never makes the item due.
Only while stored
Paused while the item is a daily driver: storage-charging a battery, exercising a stored engine.
Remind when due
Off keeps the countdown on the page but sends no reminders for this job.

When a job is due

Days left
Every job shows its days left, “due today”, or how many days overdue. Paused jobs show Paused · daily driver.
Due soon
30 % or less of the interval left. A 90-day job is due soon with 27 days to go.
Overdue
Past the due day. The item gets a banner at the top of Home until you stamp it.
