Why does my newly entered task not appear on "Today"?

Your task will only appear on today when it really becomes relevant to you. A task becomes relevant when it is either due today or within the next five days, or if it is the first actionable task for you in a project.

What is "Waiting for" all about?

The "Waiting for" category is a concept we borrowed from David Allen's "Getting Things Done® - GTD®" way of managing tasks. Basically, you use this category to keep track of tasks you are not doing yourself, but delegating to other people.

What is the "In-Basket" or "In-Tray" for?

The "In-Tray" is a concept for storing your thoughts and ideas, things you do not yet know what to do about. As soon as you have decided what to do with them you can, e.g., make them "Actionable" or you delay them to "Someday" - simply by changing their status.

Is there a way to backup my data beside the iTunes backup?

Does Firetask support syncing to a desktop or Web application?
