Daily Tasks & Routines

How tasks are generated, tracked, and completed.

Daily Tasks & Routines provide users with small, achievable wellbeing actions that help build consistency, reflection, and resilience over time. These tasks can be surfaced in your app to create gentle daily habits that support mental health.

What Daily Tasks Are

Daily tasks are lightweight wellbeing actions such as:

• a short mindfulness exercise

• a grounding technique

• a reflection prompt

• a CBT micro-task

• a small self-care reminder

• a breathing or relaxation activity

These tasks are intentionally simple so they can fit into any user’s day with minimal friction.

How Tasks Work in therappai

The API provides a set of daily tasks for each user. Your app can:

• fetch today’s tasks

• display them in your UI

• mark a task as completed

• track completion history

This allows you to build:

• streak features

• daily check-ins

• progress summaries

• personalised routines

The system is purposefully minimal so you can shape the UX however you want.
