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 :)
MORE THINGS TO LOVE
As you dive deeper, you’ll find Things packed with helpful features. Here are just a few:
• Reminders — set a time and Things will remind you.
• Repeaters — automatically repeat to-dos on a schedule you set.
• This Evening — a special place for your evening plans.
• Calendar integration — see your events and to-dos together.
• Tags — categorize your to-dos and quickly filter lists.
• Quick Find — instantly find to-dos or switch between lists.
• Magic Plus — drag the + button to insert to-dos anywhere in a list.
• Share extension — create to-dos with content from other apps.
• Widgets — see lists on your home/lock screens.
• Mail to Things — forward an email to Things; now it’s a to-do.
• Markdown — structure & style your notes.
• And much more!
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 3.21.5
• Tweaked the behavior of the selection state to more closely match the behavior on Mac.
• Fixed a bug where dragging and releasing a project’s first logged to-do could cause it to be marked incomplete.
• Fixed a crash that could potentially occur after the contents of the list were changed.
• Various other changes under the hood.
THINGS 3.21
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’ Notes
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.
Love this app
Great app so easy to learn and use especially for someone with ADHD who constantly jumps from task to task. The only thing i will say is it would be great to have a way to add a reminder serperate to the date the task/appt is. So set the date of when it is and add a reminder the night/day prior. I just select the date of when it is, but usually I have to add the reminder date as the date(so say a day or two before the actual date) and then type the date into the task/to-do title so that way I know when it is and I still get alerted the day before or prior. Other than that awesome! Sooo easy to use and love how there is a project to learn how to use the app! So many cool shortcuts and emailing sharing options, the more you know the better it gets! Thanks 🙏
I prefer Todoist
This app is expensive and not as useful as Todoist. The killer feature of Todoist is that it runs everywhere, including Windows and in the browser. This is critical when you need to quickly get a thought out of your head and into the list.
On my work PC I use the browser app because I don’t want to install anything personal. On my home PC I have the Windows app and it’s a quick global shortcut to open up a dialog to add a task, no matter what application I’m in. And of course there’s the iOS, iPadOS and Apple Watch apps when those are convenient.
The other thing is that Todoist has a free tier which still covers basically everything I need, ad-free. Things is pricey. Buying it once isn’t too bad, but then you want it on another device, and another, and my wife wants to install it, etc. And in the end you’re paying a small fortune. Take a look at how expensive it is on Mac and convince yourself that either it’s worth it or that you’re comfortable just always having to reach for your phone or iPad every time you want to note something in the list, where it’s more difficult to type and paste links etc.
Developer Response ,
Yes, there’s no version of Things for Windows or Web. Sorry if that wasn’t clear before. Thanks for your other feedback!
