Complete Tasks

There are several ways to complete tasks in IdeasToDone. The methods available will depend on the device you are using. These ways include:

1. On your iPhone or iPad, you can complete an individual task using a short, right-to-left swipe on the task row that will show a Complete button on the right side of the task. On your Mac, you can use the top of your Magic Mouse to make this gesture.

2. On your iPhone or iPad, you can complete an individual task using a long right-to-left swipe on the task. This will complete the task and remove it from the list it was on. On your Mac, you can use the top of your Magic Mouse to make this gesture.
