Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Fira

How do I add Fira to my existing project?

Simply download the latest release ZIP file and extract it into your project folder. You can rename the extracted folder to something like "project-management" or "fira". Then open index.html in your browser or set up the server following our Quick Start instructions. Fira works as a standalone tool that manages your project files using folders and markdown.

What is Fira and how does it work?

Fira is a modern project management platform that uses file-based task management with visual Kanban boards. Tasks are stored as markdown files in folders that represent different workflow stages (Backlog → Progress → Review → Testing → Done). This approach combines the simplicity of file management with powerful web-based visualization.

Do I need technical knowledge to use Fira?

Not at all! While Fira offers advanced features for developers, it's designed for anyone to use. The Quick Local Setup handles all technical details automatically with simple batch/shell scripts. You just download, extract, and run - no complex configuration needed.

Is Fira really free and open source?

Yes! Fira is 100% open source and free to use. You can download the source code, modify it, and deploy it anywhere without licensing fees. There are no premium features or subscription costs - everything is included.

Can I use Fira without internet connection?

Absolutely! Fira works completely offline once you've downloaded it. Your projects and tasks are stored locally on your computer as simple files and folders. You only need internet for the initial download and optional Git synchronization if you choose to use it.

How does team collaboration work?

Fira supports multiple collaboration modes: file sharing (Dropbox, Google Drive), Git repositories for version control, and server mode for real-time team access. Each team member can have their own task folders, making it easy to track individual progress and workload.

What browsers are supported?

Fira works in all modern browsers. The server mode (our recommended approach) works perfectly in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Edge. All modern browsers support the full feature set when running through the local server.

Can I migrate from other project management tools?

Yes! Since Fira uses simple markdown files, you can easily import data from other tools or create migration scripts. Many users export their existing projects to CSV/JSON and convert them to Fira's markdown format. The file-based approach makes data always accessible and portable.
