Subtasks

Subtasks let you track checklist-style steps inside a time block.

What Subtasks Are

A subtask is a checklist item attached to a time block. Each subtask has a title and a completion state.

Add Subtasks

1. Tap a time block to open the editor.
2. Scroll to the Subtasks section.
3. Tap Add subtask.
4. Enter a title.
5. Press Return to move to the next subtask.

Edit and Complete Subtasks

Mark a subtask as complete

Tap the circle next to the subtask.

Remove a subtask

Tap the remove button next to the subtask.

Reorder subtasks

If the editor shows drag handles, drag a subtask to reorder it.

Progress on the Timeline

When a time block has subtasks:

• A checklist icon appears on the time block.
• A counter like 1/3 appears next to the icon (completed / total).

Time Block Completion

When you save a time block with all subtasks completed, Align also marks the time block as completed.

Recurring Time Blocks

If you add subtasks to a recurring time block, those subtasks are part of the series. Completion is tracked per occurrence.

FAQs

Do subtasks have their own times?

No. Subtasks are steps inside the parent time block.

Is there a limit?

There is no hard limit, but shorter lists are easier to scan.
