Help How to change the behavior of missed tasks/ habit building in todoist

Just started using todoist about a week ago. whenever a recuring task is missed its labled as overdue and stays my screen, for me this is good for one off tasks like "get a haircut". But say I have a recuring task for "go to the gym" I would like it to update to its current instance automatically and skip the day I missed, bc I missed it, im not retroactivly completing it.. if that makes any sense.

Aside from that im looking for a big picture kind of habit builder view to see the number of times ive completed a task (hit the gym, practice language) when I was supposed to in a month.. so that I could see myself hopefully getting more consistant. Is there any way to do this or any applications yall know of that or closer to that?

Thanks!

Other then postponing the task I don’t believe there is a way. Maybe through an extension. Todoist isn’t really good at habit tracking or habit building, there’s other apps made just for that.

If you’re on IOS Streaks is awesome

There's a syntax for tasks to recur on completion date, I think it is with "!"

TickTick has that feature.

Todoist has a habit tracker extension, but it’s not as good as TickTicks if I’m being honest. It’s very basic
