# Capture: Getting It All Out Of Your Head
Free your mind for the important things in life and work by easily capturing everything in a single, trusted system.
Inbox. Quickly capture everything in your Firetask Inbox. You can easily enrich your task with notes, links and more if needed. A badge count reminds you if your Inbox is not empty.
# Clarify: Always Staying in Control
Get into the driver's seat and always work on getting your Inbox to zero by deciding what is actionable and what is not.
In Focus. If something is actionable simply put it into the "In Focus" list. In Focus lets you keep track of things you want to do today or as soon as possible. Want to do it on a specific date? Set a Start or Due date instead
# Organize: Bringing Order into Chaos
Turn chaos into order by putting your tasks into context, breaking them down if needed and neatly organizing them in projects and portfolios.
Projects & portfolios. By grouping tasks into projects you can put your tasks in a defined order and provide them with additional context. You can also organize related projects into portfolios and define checklists as reusable task list templates
# Reflect: Keeping Your System Up-to-Date
Weekly reviews ensure that your system stays up-to-date empowering you to achieve more by making informed decisions and focusing on the right things.
Kanban. Firetask combines GTD with Kanban in a unique way providing you with unparalleled, clear overviews for reflecting on your tasks. Supported boards are organized by Status, by Categories, by Due and by Start date and by Priorities -- with drag & drop support for fast changes
# Engage: Achieving More By Improving Focus
Having a clear picture on what is important here and now allows you to achieve more by helping you both focus faster and to stay in the "zone".
Today. By showing you all tasks that are "In Focus" as well as tasks that are scheduled for or due today in a single view, Firetask provides you with the big picture on what to focus on today.

Firetask - Task List & Planner version 4.7.2
Updated At: 2023-08-15
Changes: Aug 15, 2023
Version 4.7.2
Firetask 4.7.2 updates our syncing functionality enhancing compatibility with future operating system versions.
IMPORTANT: It can happen that the update forces "deleeching", i.e., the system switches off syncing with an error message indicating that the "hardware" or "device ID" changed. In this case please long-press the "Clear Database" button (at least 3 seconds) in the "Database" area under "Settings" in order to delete all local data and then re-switch on syncing from the "Syncing" settings view and wait until all data is re-downloaded from iCloud.
You can find the "Settings" area on the "More" tab on iPhone and iPad and under the "Firetask" menu on the Mac.
More information can be found in our FAQs on our support website: https://www.firetask.com/support.html
