How We Count Activity in Task Analytics

How the activity heatmap works: it counts completed tasks per day (including archived columns), like GitHub contributions.

The activity heatmap in Task Analytics shows how many tasks you completed each day—like GitHub’s contribution graph, but for task completions. Here’s how it works.

What we count

We count completed tasks only. For each task that has completed and completed_at, we add 1 to the day when it was completed (in your local timezone).

Tasks in archived columns are included—if you completed a task before archiving its column, it still counts.

The formula

For each day D:

daily value = number of tasks completed on day D

Each completion counts as 1. There is no per-task cap.

Heatmap levels

The heatmap uses four shades:

  • 0 — No completions that day (lightest).
  • 1 — One task completed.
  • 2 — Two tasks completed.
  • 3+ — Three or more (darkest).

We only show days up to today; future dates are not displayed.

Activity list

Below the heatmap, Activity lists each day’s completions with task details. Newest days first; use Show more activity to load older ones.
