Natural Language Dates
Type dates and times naturally when creating tasks.
How It Works
As you type in any task input, Cadeo detects date and time phrases and highlights them in blue. Press Enter to apply the detected schedule.

| next Monday | Next Monday | ✓ | ✓ |
| Friday | This Friday (or next if past) | ✓ | ✓ |

Phrases work whether they appear at the start or end of the input — "tomorrow buy milk" and "buy milk tomorrow" both schedule for tomorrow.
