## Reminders iOS

Recurrence details can be applied to a task using Reminders on iOS.

To set a recurrence pattern tap on a task in Reminders. Then set a date for "Remind Me". After that is set a new edit field "Repeat" will be added to the UI just below "Remind Me".

## iCal on OS X

Tasks with recurrence details are read only in iCal on OS X. The recurrence pattern is displayed in the task info window. But a user can not even mark such a task as completed.

## iCal on iCloud.com

No recurrence details are displayed.

## CalCalendar API

The CalCalendar framework does not provide access to any recurrence details for tasks. It does not even flag a task has having a recurrence pattern. Furthermore any edits to a task that does have a recurrence pattern are not pushed back to the cloud. (The edits are saved in into the local calendar disk storage and reflected in iCal on the desktop. But as soon as another edit is made to the same task in Reminders on iOS the local edits on the desktop are lost and replaced with edits from the cloud.)
