What happens when a Daymark countdown ends?

Inspect the event state before archiving

Reaching zero marks a time boundary. It does not confirm that a real-world event happened or a task was accepted.

1. Open the mark and inspect its actual beginning and any end date.
2. Check whether the event is still in progress.
3. Check Yearly under Recurrence if it should return.
4. Inspect Past for a completed one-time event.
5. Use Move to Past only when you intend to archive the occurrence.
6. Export before deleting any content you want to retain.

Keep the original milestone

A wedding day can remain a memory while an anniversary repeats. A trip can keep its actual span instead of being edited into the next trip. Preserving the original date avoids turning a past record into an unrelated future countdown.

Check whether the countdown is still active

Review the active-countdown allowance using the app's actual status rather than assuming every mark in Past has the same state. If a date is unexpectedly still active, check its end and repeat settings before deleting or duplicating it.

A trip can begin without ending

An event with an end date can remain in progress between its beginning and end. A yearly birthday can advance to the next occurrence. A one-time graduation can become a memory. Do not rewrite all three as another future event.
