Tools for repeat-on-complete to-do lists

The problem, in plain words: “I want a to-do list where checking an item moves it to the bottom and it becomes unchecked so the task repeats on completion.”

No tool in the catalog fully fits this yet.

They want a repeating to-do loop where checking a task re-queues it at the bottom and resets it to unchecked.

Partly fits

It’s built around recurring checklists and explicitly positions itself as fixing the problem of checked tasks disappearing forever, which aligns with a repeating completion loop.

Won’t cover: It doesn’t clearly state that checking a task automatically moves it to the bottom and resets it to unchecked for the next cycle.

It’s designed for routines that repeat, which matches the repeat-on-completion intent, but it’s unclear how task ordering and unchecked reset work on completion.

Won’t cover: It doesn’t state that completion automatically moves the item to the bottom and resets it to unchecked.

It’s centered on making a checklist once and reusing it forever via templates, which can support repeatable tasks, but it’s not clearly the same as re-queuing on each completion.

Won’t cover: It doesn’t clearly describe the specific behavior where checking moves the task to the bottom and resets it to unchecked automatically.

It supports completing items and includes a daily auto-reset, which is relevant to repetition, but the query requires an item-level unchecked reset plus bottom re-queuing on completion.

Won’t cover: It doesn’t clearly say that completing a specific item re-queues it at the bottom and resets it to unchecked (instead of only resetting daily).

Nothing fully fits this yet

You need an app that re-queues completed items to the bottom and resets them unchecked automatically.
