Introduction to Firetask

First of all welcome to Firetask! Firetask was designed to combine concepts from David Allen's well-known Getting Things Done® (GTD®) methodology with Kanban and classical task management concepts such as priorities and due dates in a logical way.

Gerald Aquila Firetask 3.0 for Mac The Mac user without task management software has no one to blame but himself. The Mac App Store alone lists over 150 products when searching on the word “task.”.

Firetask 4.5 is available as a free update for existing users and for new users as a one time purchase from the iOS and Mac App Store. A free 15-day trial version for macOS and additional information is available at https://firetask.com. Firetask 4.0.8 for Mac is free to download from our application library. Firetask-Mac.dmg is the default file name to indicate this app's installer. This software is developed for Mac OS X 10.8 or later. The most popular versions of the tool are 3.7, 3.1 and 2.3.

We also wanted to make Firetask really easy to use, thus, providing a great and intuitive user experience is very important to us. Firetask is available exclusively on Apple platforms including iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.

A Quick Tour of Firetask

The Firetask user interface is based on our interpretation of the GTD workflow and thus, generally divided into four main areas:

Collect allowing you to quickly collect all your thoughts and ideas in a single place
Focus being the go-to-place for getting a quick overview of what happens 'Today', what comes 'Next', and what you are 'Waiting For'
Manage allowing you to manage your 'General' task list and all projects you are working on
Review supporting you with your weekly GTD review, or generally helping you to organize you work using a calendar-based 'Dates' as well as our well-received 'Kanban' view

There is also a fifth area called 'More' that contains additional views that you typically do not need this often as well as the 'Preferences' section on iOS.

What is Getting Things Done (GTD)?

Getting Things Done (GTD) is a modern task management methodology created by David Allen. GTD is one of the most widely adopted task management strategies across the globe.

If you don't know how GTD works here are some of the basic concepts:

Perform a 'brain dump' -- collect all your open issues and tasks in your 'Inbox'
Decide whether tasks are actionable, i.e., you want and can complete them yourself, whether you want to delegate them (Firetask provides a 'Waiting For' list), or whether they are more of a 'someday/maybe' thing
Organize your actionable tasks into so-called 'next action' lists (Firetask provides 'projects' for this)
Assign contexts to indicate, e.g., whether a task can only be done in a certain environment (e.g., you have to be 'Home' to do clean up your house; we call this a 'category')
Perform a weekly GTD review where you repeat steps 2-4 on a regular schedule in order to keep your trusted GTD task management system up-to-date

Jailbreak for mac os 4. If you want to know more about GTD we strongly recommend reading David's original book on GTD called 'Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity'.

Setting Up Firetask

In general, Firetask is a plug & play app -- you do not need to install anything (on the Mac it is sufficient to drag the app into your Appplications folder), or to sign up for a user account. However, there are a number of things you might want to look into before you add all your tasks to Firetask:

First of all, if you are a Firetask 3 user you will probably want to migrate your existing data. Migrating your data is easy, but we still recommend checking out our short Migration section below to be on the safe side
Next you might want to take a look at the Firetask 'Preferences' area in order to check out if you would like to customize one or more of our user interface settings
You also most probably want to switch on iCloud syncing; please check out the section about syncing further below
If you want to use our Reminders integration you will need to create a reminder list called 'Firetask' in the Reminders app and switch on reminders syncing in the Firetask Preferences area
Finally, if you are new to Firetask you should check out the 'Basic Concepts & Workflows' section below and then decide on how you want to structure your task management using categories, projects, portfolios and checklists

If you want to help us with improving Firetask please switch on crash reporting for 3rd party apps -- both on your Mac and your iOS devices. All information shared is completely anonymized and crash reports help us immensely with bug fixing.

Migrating From Firetask 3.x

Firetask Mac App

Since Firetask Pro is a new app both on iOS and macOS and both apps are 'sandboxed', we need to move the data from the old apps using a simple export-import procedure. In other words, we 'Export' from the old apps and 'Import' into the new apps.

On iOS we use an action extension on the Firetask Pro side, so all you have to do is to go to the
On the Mac you choose 'Export Repository' from the 'File' menu to write a Firetask XML backup file. You can then import this file from the new Mac app via 'Import' (also located in the 'File' menu)

Chirp for macbook. A good way to quickly check if everything was migrated is to check the repository info views on both the old and the new app and match the counts. Note that there should be one less project in the new apps (the 'Miscellaneous' project whose tasks are migrated as 'General' tasks) and two less categories ('To Dos' and 'Waiting For').

Only migrate your data on a single device and then switch on iCloud syncing to sync your data across your devices. This will ensure a smooth migration and avoid potential data duplication issues.

If you do not see the 'Export Repository' choices you need to update your old apps (Firetask Mac and iPad version 3.8.5 and iPhone version 5.8.5 or newer). Note that you only need to migrate on one device (also the recommended approach); iCloud syncing will automatically transfer the migrated data once you switch on syncing.
