. APPLE DESIGN AWARD WINNER 2017.Meet the all-new Things!
A complete rethinking of the original, award-winning task manager – with a perfect balance between simplicity and power, incredible new features, delightful interactions, and a timeless new design.HERE'S HOW THINGS WORKSIf you're new to Things, this is the basic workflow:1. Collect Your ThoughtsGet things off your mind quickly with Things’ action extension – it lets you create to-dos from other apps. Or just talk to Siri on any device (“Remind me to.”) and import from Reminders.2. Get OrganizedCreate a project for each of your goals, then add the steps to reach them. For clarity, add structure with headings. Then group your projects by areas of responsibility, such as “Family”, “Work”, or “Health”. Review these regularly to stay on top of things.3.
Plan Your TimeSee your calendar events alongside your to-dos and plan your time effectively. Create repeating to-dos for things you do every few days, weeks, or months – Things will remind you on the right day.4. Make the Most of Your DayEvery morning, grab a coffee and prepare your list for “Today”: review previously planned to-dos and make quick decisions on what to tackle. Pick some more steps from your projects and then get going. The Today list is the only place you’ll need to look for the rest of the day.5.
Customize Your WorkflowUse tags to categorize your to-dos or add context. For example, tag places like “Office” or “Home”, or tag all your “Errands”, or everything you’re working on with “Kate”. You can easily find everything you’ve tagged via filtering or search.HERE'S WHY WE THINK YOU'LL LOVE THINGS1. It stays out of your way.As you start using Things, you’ll quickly notice how seamlessly all the features fit together to give you an uncluttered, focused experience. There are no unnecessary frills.
No pointless gimmicks or useless controls. In fact, you’ll hardly notice the app – it’s just you and your to-dos.2. Everything revolves around your to-dos.In Things, each of your to-dos are special. In a list, they simply show a checkbox and the title of your to-do. But when you open them, they extend into a beautiful white piece of paper that’s ready to hold your thoughts.
Apr 03, 2013 Sound scary? Well, it is, at first. But like it or not, you only have so many hours in the day, and you’re only going to get a finite number of things done. Forcing yourself to choose a 1-3-5 list means the things you accomplish will be the things you chose to do—rather than what happened to get done. Of course, this can be flexible. Sep 12, 2017 Things 3.1.5 – Elegant personal task management. September 12, 2017 Things is a task management solution that helps to organize your tasks in an elegant and intuitive way. Things combines powerful features with simplicity through the use of tags and its intelligent filter bar. Download Now. Tags: Things Todo List. Next story Do.
Additional details (checklists, tags, reminders, deadline) are nicely tucked away in the corner until you need them.3. It’s got a touch of magic.Things removes friction in magical ways. Take the new Magic Plus Button that lets you insert to-dos at any place in a list – simply via drag and drop. Or the ease at which you can multi-select and operate on many to-dos at once. Or the natural language date parser: just type “tomorrow”, “in 4 days', or “next Wednesday', and it will jump to all the right conclusions.4. It’s got all the power of iOS.Things is fully integrated with all the latest iOS technologies: Apple Watch, Calendars, Siri & Reminders, Today Widget, Quick Actions, Action Extension, Handoff, and Notifications.5.
And much more.Everyone's got their favorite feature, it's impossible to list them all.

We provide world-class, professional support for Things, and we’ll be glad to help you. We’re excited to release Things 3.12 – a big update for our Watch app!We’ve entirely rebuilt the foundation of our Watch app to allow it to sync and operate without your phone being nearby. This is possible because it now syncs your to-dos directly with Things Cloud.We’ve also taken this opportunity to add some often-requested features to the app.
Here’s everything that’s new.FAST AND RELIABLE SYNCThe sync is vastly improved in this release. Changes you make on the watch are now instantly synced to the cloud and available to your other devices.MULTIPLE WATCHESMany of you wrote in saying you used a spare watch for sleep tracking and really missed having Things on it. Now you can!ADD TO TODAYYou can now set Today as the default destination for new to-dos. To access this setting, force press the main list in the watch app.SCRIBBLE SUPPORTWhen adding new to-dos, or appending some notes, you can now use scribble instead of speaking the text.AND MORE.
The date picker now allows you to clear the date (i.e. Put the to-do in Anytime). Projects in Today now show your progress. Complications are smart in that they show information either from the watch app or the phone app, depending on which has most recently synced with Things Cloud.Please note that the Apple Watch app now requires a Things Cloud account. A free account can be created on your iPhone in Things Settings Things Cloud. Jwech, The Essential To Do AppInstead 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. Bkgadam, Dream come TrueI am one of those who seldom spare time to write reviews.
By the way in the 7+ years I have been an Apple products consumer, this is probably the third time at most I am writing a review for an App.I have dreamed for an app like this one many years before. I used to scan the App Store to download top rated apps, but I could never find the type of app I was looking for. They just weren’t practical. For instance sometimes you want to write down something that just popped in your head. You don’t want to worry about figuring out then if it’s a reminder or a To-do or just a note. You don’t want to worry about setting it for a specific day and a specific time. You just want to quickly jot it down in your To-dos/ reminder/ notes and be able to easily access it and take care of details later.I had given up on my hope of finding an app that would solve this type issue.
So for the past few years, I had just been relying on the iOS default note app.I have been using this app now for a few months and it has everything I have ever dreamed of in a To-do/ reminder app. Honestly I am beyond satisfied. I have now found “the piece of resistance of my existence”!!
