  • I have filled out the template to the best of my ability.

  • This issue is not a duplicate feature request of previous feature requests.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to request the ability to customize the number of days before a chore is due that it appears on the dashboard. This would allow for better control over when tasks show up as "upcoming" based on their frequency and importance.

Use Case:
I have several chores with different intervals:

  • Clean the gutter: every 180 days
  • Mop the floor: every 7 days
  • Clean the microwave: every 14 days
  • Descale the coffee machine: every 60 days

Currently, if I set the dashboard to display chores due in the next 30 days, tasks with shorter intervals, like mopping the floor or cleaning the microwave, always appear soon after they are completed. For example, even though I clean the microwave every 14 days, I don’t want it to show up on the dashboard immediately after it's done. I might want to see it only 5 days before the due date.

Describe the solution you'd like

For each chore, allow users to define a custom threshold (number of days) before the due date when the chore starts appearing on the dashboard.

This would work as follows:

  • Clean the gutter: 30 days before due date
  • Mop the floor: 2 days before due date
  • Clean the microwave: 5 days before due date
  • Descale the coffee machine: 10 days before due date

This feature would provide a cleaner and more relevant dashboard, hiding tasks that are far in the future and only showing them when it’s closer to the time they need attention.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried lowering the number of days for showing tasks on the dashboard to keep the list clean and focused. However, this approach has drawbacks for tasks like "cleaning the gutter," which may require preparation, such as checking the weather. These types of tasks only appear shortly before they are due, which leaves less time for planning, making it less practical for chores that need advance scheduling or setup.
