Big tasks are where ADHD brains go to stall. "Write the report" feels impossible. "Outline three sections" doesn't. Subtasks let you split a task into small, doable steps, right inside the task itself. ## How does it work? Open a task's [details](/ios/task-details) and type in the **Add a subtask** field. Each task can hold up to 5 subtasks. Back in your list, tap the chevron on the task to expand its subtasks inline. You can complete, reorder, edit, and delete them right there. ## Subtasks and timers Give your subtasks timers and the parent task's timer becomes the sum of them, marked as **derived**. Parent task timer derived from its timed subtasks The parent's [status](/ios/status) rolls up too: when every subtask is done, the parent is done. Creating subtasks needs **Forget Pro**. Subtasks are one level deep, so a subtask can't have subtasks of its own. This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
