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 :)

“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 3.20.8

• Fixed a bug where tapping or clicking a URL would sometimes fail to open the link.


THINGS 3.19

This update brings support for iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and watchOS 10, including Interactive Widgets and other great improvements.


INTERACTIVE WIDGETS

Things’ widgets are now interactive. This means that you can complete your to-dos right on the Home Screen, without having to open the app:

• Tap a to-do’s checkbox to mark it complete.
• Tap a to-do’s title to reveal it in Things.


WIDGETS EVERYWHERE

Things’ widgets are now available in more places than ever. Once you’ve upgraded to the latest OS versions, you can add them to:

• Your iPad’s Lock Screen.
• Your iPhone’s new StandBy mode, which is activated when the device is on its side and connected to power.
• Your Watch’s new Smart Stack, which is revealed by swiping up from the bottom of the watch face.


APPLE WATCH

We’ve adjusted Things to fit in nicely with the new design of watchOS 10, and modernized the app under-the-hood.

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-do’s from anywhere in the app, and organising 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.

Initially sour about repurchasing - now a convert

Was very reluctant about repurchasing Things.

I initially bought it back in 2010, and never really ended up using it. At the time, I only had an iPhone and Mac. The experience was pretty mixed. A few very nerdy friends had recommended it as a life planner and it never really stuck.

Things 3 is an entirely different experience. It fulfils the promise of Things 1, with a clean yet deep UI and deep functionality.

On an ideological note- I’m a firm believer that software should be either free or a single purchase. It’s refreshing to be able to pay a per-device purchase cost scaled to the relative value of the device rather than a subscription. Full credit to the devs for their pricing structure.

To anyone reading- $35 NZ may sound like a lot of money for productivity software. Things 3 is _absolutely_ worth it.

I’m old enough to remember when this is what software cost. Maybe I’m nostalgic, but this price seems to adequately reflect the attendant development hours and quality. Things will save you that money in stress and organisation within the month.

Yes to Things

Things invokes the freshness that the best of the early OSX apps achieved. (I’m an old IIe user) If you are IOS only or moving in that direction this is the todo for you. I have not used the Mac app).
This app has kicked my life into shape. It’s ability to import Apples reminders is a game changer for me as well. Invoke Siri add reminder and there it is to be imported in Things.
