Routines are sets of tasks that occur around the same time of day, which repeat on a daily basis and can be set for morning, afternoon, and evening. Routines are different from chores in that chores are less constant and do not need to happen at a particular time of the day. You can create Routines on both the device and Skylight mobile app.
Getting Started
To create a Routine, tap the + icon on the bottom right corner to bring up the Add Task sidebar. Here, you can create both Chores and Routines.

🔁 Every: This will allow you to repeat the Routine on a weekly or daily basis.
📅 On: Here, you can choose the day or days this Routine will repeat.
In the: Finally, choose whether the Routine repeats in the Morning, Afternoon or Evening.
⭐Rewards: Additionally, like Chores, you can also assign Rewards to Routines! (Note, you'll need to assign the stars for the Routines on the Skylight App.) Learn more about Rewards here.
When Routines Are Displayed
By default, Skylight Calendar will only show routines appropriate to the current time of day by displaying some routines and auto-hiding the rest.
At the following times, the device will switch to show only the routines from the appropriate part of the day:
| Time | Routines Displayed |
| Midnight - Noon | Morning |
| Noon - 6pm | Afternoon |
| 6pm - Midnight | Evening |
Tap the Morning, Afternoon, or Evening icons to show or hide routines at any time.
Tracking Progress, Filtering and Rewards
Like Chores, each Routine has a progress bar indicating how many have been completed. These appear as icons at the top of each column.
Tap the Morning, Afternoon, Evening, or Chores icons to show/hide scheduled tasks at any time.
