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 :)

Editors’ Choice

Everyone needs a task manager—and Things is adaptable enough for anyone. The app 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.

Gets it done without getting in the way

I use Things to manage tasks for multiple work projects. From the time I began using Things, when I didn't really know what I was doing, the basic functions helped me work more efficiently. As I have needed more from the app and my projects' scopes have grown, the deeper layers are there to be discovered. That's just as a well-designed app should be.

A couple of highlights that I appreciate about Things: the visual density of projects and tasks is calibrated much better than other to-do apps I've used. There's a delicate balance between too sparse (can't take in enough information about tasks at a glance) and too dense (can't process b/c of info overload). I never have these problems with Things. I also appreciate the list of "Upcoming" items as it allows me to assess my priorities and workload at a glance, as well as schedule when I will return to tasks I have put aside.

One small suggestion (and I think this only applies to the iOS version, not the Mac version): I have found that when I am dragging an item designated for a specific day to be under a different heading, I can't just drop it at the top of the list under the different heading and then have the app figure out where to place it. I have to keep scrolling down to the proper sorting place in order to drop it. Dropping it at the top of the heading returns it to its original location, and I have to start over.

This Is Absolutely Incredible. 11/10

Things 3 is one of the few apps I have used on a consistent basis for 1.5 or so years now. The app is one of the best-looking apps I have seen, by far. The design is amazing, and I have considered leaving Things 3 before, except every single time, the design and the intuitive nature always leave me on Things 3. This app was made by top-notch graphic designers who made an app that not only looks incredible, but every single feature works incredibly, incredibly well for how it should intuitively work. The structure, albeit, a little forced, is still logical in every way, based on my opinion. Granted, I have been on-and-off for periods for 2 months or so. However, the app is made masterfully, the design incredibly, and the app is definitely spectacular. The 1 issue, would be 1, and this is the only thing, the pricing is high. However, the app is pay-once, no subscription, however, it does also require paying for other platforms. If there is a deal or anything, then this is something to definitely consider. The prices are definitely high, but if I am rating the product, and not the price, then yes, 11/10. With the price, that is something that seems far too high for a productivity app. If it was pay once for all services, at $50, that would be much more reasonable than paying for most services. This is honestly incredible.
