Allow the user to select multiple objects (e.g tasks) to perform bulk actions e.g schedule, archive etc. Also allow using CMD/CTRL+A to select everything: tasks in Inbox, tasks of the day, text in notes etc.
I initially signed up for routine in ~2022. I used it for a while but found that it was not smooth enough for what I needed at the time. I have come back and would like to start using it again, however, due to recurrences I set up in the past, I have over 3500 overdue tasks. The help feature tells me the only way to clear these is clicking each one individually. Surely a bulk delete button would be a helpful feature to someone like me and other users who return to the app after a period to find hundreds or thousands of recurring overdue tasks.

Hi, this certainly makes sense ! In the meantime, you can also delete and recreate the recurrent task if you want to start over from a clean slate, if that’s easier !
Best, Benjamin for Routine.

Thanks Benjamin. I have done this, but it does not clear the overdue missed tasks. I will still be able to use the app fine, it will just be a little annoying to have it show 3600 overdue tasks on my agenda page for the time being.
