⚠️ Note for users updating from v1

DOck-IT v2 uses an improved repeat task system. When you first open the app after updating, your existing repeat sequences will be automatically converted — previously generated instances are preserved as regular tasks, and you'll be prompted to recreate any repeat sequences you'd like to continue. This is a one-time process.
