I can schedule tasks to be performed on certain days i.e. Monday, Sunday etc. But can I schedule tasks to NOT be perfomed on certain days like weekend for example? For example I want task to repeat every 3 days but not on weekends. |

Could you be more precise about what you want the pattern to be? An
What I cannot tell from your question is how you want that 3rd task to be scheduled? Monday, or skipped, or what? |

Maybe 3 days is too soon, but I got tasks that I want to do every 19, 33 or 61 days, and don't won't them to land on weekend. But ok, so: every 3 days not on Saturday, Sunday select day before every 3 days not on Saturday, Sunday select day after every 3 days not on Saturday, Sunday select skip |

I don't think any implementation of "every 3 days" is ever going to provide this sequence:
That is a new one on me. I can't think of any way to write that in a single task with the library Tasks uses. And it is not a pattern we would ever implement in Tasks - it's just too specialised. Your best bet is going to be to set up 3 recurrences:
And when they land on a weekend, to manually reschedule them to whatever you want the next date to be. |

Right now I'm using script written in python to check if any tasks is landing on weekend and reschedule it to other day. I thought that there could be better way (native way). I'm running script on PC so if I'm away and only with my phone, I can't run the script. |

There is a way on your phone to at least detect cases that you need to fix... You can then edit the date on the phone (I am working on providing a calendar picker which will one day make that editing easier...) ```javascript
(recurrence includes every 19 days) OR \
(recurrence includes every 33 days) OR \
(recurrence includes every 61 days)
filter by function ['Sat', 'Sun'].includes(task.due.format('ddd'))
# Optionally, group by the date to make the need for change visible
group by function return 'due on weekend: ' + task.due.format('YYYY-MM-DD ddd')
``` |

I have read the rrule source code, experimented with the Tasks edit modal, and confirmed that this is correct. |
