Description
Get things done! The award-winning Things app helps you plan your day, manage your projects, and make real progress toward your goals.
Best of all, it’s easy to use. Within the hour, you’ll have everything off your mind and neatly organized—from routine tasks to your biggest life goals—and you can start focusing on what matters today.
“Things offers the best combination of design and functionality of any app we tested, with nearly all the features of other power user applications and a delightful interface that never gets in the way of your work.”
—Wirecutter, The New York Times
KEY FEATURES
• Your To-Dos
Your basic building block is the almighty To-Do—each a small step toward a great accomplishment. You can add notes, tag it, schedule it, and break it down into smaller steps.
• Your Projects
Create a Project for any big goal, then add the to-dos to reach it. Use headings to structure your list as you outline your plan. There’s also a place to jot down your notes, and a deadline to keep you on schedule.
• Your Areas
Create an Area for each sphere of your life, such as Work, Family, Finance, and so on. This keeps everything neatly organized, and helps you see the big picture as you set your plans in motion.
• Your Plan
Everything on your schedule is neatly laid out in the Today and Upcoming lists, which show your to-dos and calendar events. Each morning, see what you planned for Today and decide what you want to do. The rest is down to you :)

As you dive deeper, you’ll find Things packed with helpful features. Here are just a few:

MADE FOR IPHONE
Things is tailored to the iPhone with deep system integrations as well. A great example is the Share extension, which allows you to create to-dos with content from other apps, such as a link to a website you want to get back to.
You can also enjoy a beautiful dark mode at sunset, connect your calendars, add a variety of widgets, create to-dos via Siri, import from Reminders—Things can do it all! There’s even Shortcuts integration if you want to automate your workflows.
MADE FOR APPLE WATCH
Things comes with a great app for Apple Watch. Just raise your wrist to glance at your Today list, mark to-dos complete as you go, and dictate new ones on the fly—all synced instantly with your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
AWARD-WINNING DESIGN
Made in Stuttgart, with two Apple Design Awards to its name, Things is a fine example of German engineering: designed not only to look fantastic, but to be perfectly functional as well. Every detail is thoughtfully considered, then polished to perfection.
“It’s like the unicorn of productivity tools: deep enough for serious work, surprisingly easy to use, and gorgeous enough to enjoy staring at.”
—Apple

What’s New
Version 3.21.1
Things is ready for iOS 18 and watchOS 11, with new Control Center buttons and support for the new Dark and Tinted Home Screen appearances. Plus, we’ve laid the groundwork for upcoming integration with Apple Intelligence.
CONTROL CENTER
iOS 18 introduces a new way to control apps from your iPhone’s Control Center, which is accessible when swiping down from the top right corner of the screen. Here you can add two types of controls for Things:
• Create To-Do
Opens Things to a new to-do, ready to type.
• List
Quickly jumps into any list in Things, such as Today, your Errands tag, or a project. To choose which list, flip the control over like you would when configuring a widget.
You can also place these controls at the bottom of your iPhone’s Lock Screen for even quicker access.
DARK & TINTED HOME SCREENS
iOS 18 provides two new appearance modes for your Home Screen and Things supports them both.
• Dark Mode
Things has a beautiful new dark app icon. Switch your device to Dark Mode to see how it looks!
• Tinted Mode
Things’ app icon and widgets also adapt to your color of choice in the new Tinted Mode. To see how it looks, choose “Tinted” when customizing your Home Screen.
LARGER WIDGETS
Things’ widgets can be made slightly larger on iOS 18 by setting your Home Screen to “Large”. This hides the labels under widgets and app icons, providing a bit more room. Things’ layout smartly adapts to the new size and even shows more of your list in some configurations.
KEYBOARD LANGUAGE RECALL
Finally, there’s a neat little improvement for our multilingual users: If you wrote one of your to-dos in another language, Things now remembers that and switches the keyboard back to that language when you next edit that to-do.
READY FOR APPLE INTELLIGENCE - coming later to some countries
When conversing with Siri, Things will support four different kinds of commands. We recommend trying these once Apple Intelligence is made available in your country. See Apple’s website for more information.
1. Create a new to-do: “Remind me to ‘Call Tim’ in Things.”
2. Search for a to-do: “Search for ‘Call Tim’ in Things.”
3. Show a list: “Show my Today list in Things.”
4. Edit a to-do: “Complete the second to-do.” (you can also edit a to-do’s title or reminder time)
We’ve also adjusted Things to smoothly integrate the new Writing Tools once they become available.
We hope you enjoy using Things on iOS 18 and watchOS 11!
Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
Everyone needs a task manager—and Things is adaptable enough for anyone. This Apple Design Award winner is crisp and lightweight, featuring a simple but effective interface. The ever-present Magic Plus button makes it easy to add to-dos from anywhere in the app, and organizing items is as simple as dragging them where you want them. It’s like the unicorn of productivity tools: deep enough for serious work, surprisingly easy to use, and gorgeous enough to enjoy staring at.
This app literally changed my life
As someone who struggles with adhd, I often find it hard to do the things I need to do. Showering, brushing my teeth, feeding my animals, and cleaning around the house are just a few of the necessary tasks that feel like insurmountable challenges to my poor dopamine deprived brain. I’ve long known the benefits of breaking big tasks and projects down into manageable steps with a to-do list, but I thought to myself… what if I just put literally everything on a to-do list? So, using this app (and it’s MacOS counterpart) that’s exactly what I did, and it has changed my life. I know exactly what I have to do in a day (from big tasks like a whole house deep clean down to little things like eating breakfast and taking a shower in the morning) and my goblin brain desire to check off the little boxes drives me to get everything done as quickly as I can. I’ve never been more productive- I’ve never felt like this much of a functioning adult, even- and it’s all thanks to this app.
As for the app itself, I think it’s really good. Being able to set up repeating tasks is really nice for the mundane things I have to do all the time, being able to sort things into different projects and areas helps me stay organized, and things like headers and checklists within tasks help me break bigger tasks into something more manageable. It’s got everything I need. The fact that it’s not subscription based is a huge plus, too. I highly recommend this app 👍
The Essential To Do App
Instead of boosting my productivity, my previous task management app had so many customization options that it actually ate away at my time. It became a procrastination tool. I could spend an hour entering dates, setting up filters, and customizing views only to realize at the end of that time that I hadn’t actually gotten anything done. In contrast, Things 3 is wonderfully simple and clarifying. It’s as powerful as my previous app, but it strips out all the distractions and the fussiness, leaving pure, easy-to-access essentials: tagging, scheduling & project organizing. The scheduling feature has been the real game changer for me. The app tracks due dates (if you have them) but—more importantly— you can also add a schedule date for each task. The interface makes it very easy to add, move, & view tasks in the schedule (while keeping due dates fixed). So you can plan your time (and easily rearrange that plan as needed). If you’re a GTD person, you can still use that methodology with Things 3 projects & tags. But I find that I do better by adding the accountability of a scheduled list of things that I want to get done on a particular day or in a particular week. Things 3 helps me organize and manage that schedule better than anything else I’ve found. And it gives me the powerhouse organization tool I need without sucking me down a rabbit hole of customization options.
