Where is my data stored?
On your device only, in Stark's private storage, as standard iCalendar (.ics) files. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account.

Does Stark sync between my devices?
No. Each device keeps its own data. Stark's data is included in your normal device backups (iCloud Backup or a computer backup), so restoring a device from a backup restores it too.

How do I add a recurring reminder or event?
Tap + to add an item, then use the Repeat row to choose daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, or a custom rule such as every two weeks or the first Tuesday of the month. Repeat End stops the series after a date or a number of times. Completing a repeating reminder completes only that occurrence; the series continues.

What happens to a reminder I miss?
An overdue reminder moves to today's section with its missed date and how many days overdue it is, until you complete or skip it. A repeating reminder shows as a single open row for its oldest miss, daily ones included, and completing or skipping that row clears every miss and today's occurrence in one tap.

Can I record whether I attended an event?
Yes. Open the event and tap Done if you attended or Skip if you did not. The event stays on your agenda, marked and dimmed, and you can tap Undo to clear the mark at any time.

Can I search old items?
Yes. Search looks through the titles, notes and locations of everything you have ever saved, not just what is near today's date.

Can I tag people, projects, or labels in a task?
Yes — just type the tag anywhere in the title or notes. +project and @context are todo.txt's own standard tags; %label and ~person are free-form ones Stark also understands, for whatever categories or people you want to track (e.g. "Call mom ~mom %family"). As you type a tag, Stark suggests matching ones you've already used elsewhere, so you don't have to remember your own spelling.

How do I plan my day?
Tap the calendar-clock button next to TODAY or TOMORROW in the agenda to open Plan. Drag tasks from the tray onto the timeline, resize a block with its bottom edge, then tap the check to save. Planning never changes a task's due date: a task you do not finish keeps its original due date.

Can I turn an event into a task?
Yes. Open the event, use the Event / Reminder switch at the top, and tap the check. The event's end time is dropped, its location and URL move into the task's notes, and attended or skipped marks are dropped (Stark asks first). It works the other way round too; a task's priority is dropped when it becomes an event.

Does Stark work offline?
Yes. Stark never needs a connection: everything is read from and written to your device.
