# frequency

The time frame for which the rule applies.

```
var frequency: INRecurrenceFrequency { get }
```

## Discussion

This property represents the time frame over which a date or time recurs. For example, applying a recurrence rule with the frequency of [`INRecurrenceFrequency.daily`](/documentation/Intents/INRecurrenceFrequency/daily) to date components containing the hour of 7:00 would let you create a trigger that applies at 7:00 each day.

Use the [`interval`](/documentation/Intents/INRecurrenceRule/interval) property to create gaps in the repetition of the specified date.
