HERE’S HOW THINGS WORKS If you’re new to Things, this is the basic workflow: 1. Collect Your Thoughts Get things off your mind quickly: no matter what app you’re in, a keyboard shortcut instantly reveals Quick Entry. Type your thoughts and save them to the Inbox.

Or just talk to Siri on any device (“Remind me to.”) and import from Reminders. Get Organized Create 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. Plan Your Time See 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. Make the Most of Your Day Every 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. Customize Your Workflow Use 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 THINGS 1.

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. 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. Additional details (checklists, tags, reminders, deadline) are nicely tucked away in the corner until you need them. It’s got a touch of magic.

Things removes friction in magical ways. As an example, take Type Travel, a remarkable new way to navigate your lists.

You just start typing where you want to go – the name of any project, area, or to-do – and instantly you’re transported there. Or look at the Natural Date Input – just type “Tom(orrow)”, “Sat(urday)”, “in fou(r days)”, “Au(gust 1)”., and it will jump to all the right conclusions. It’s got all the power of macOS.

Things is fully integrated with all the latest macOS technologies: Touch Bar, Today Widget, Calendars, Siri & Reminders, Share Extension, Handoff, and AppleScript. And much more.

Everyone’s got their favorite feature, it’s impossible to list them all. See what our users love about Things – visit our website at: thingsapp.com WHAT’S NEW?

JUMP START Working with dates is super easy with the new Jump Start date selector. Use it to quickly put to-dos in your Today list, schedule them for later, or put them on hold in Someday.

NATURAL LANGUAGE RECOGNITION Jump Start has a magical ingredient: Natural Language Recognition. It smartly detects what you’re typing to work out what you mean. “Tom(orrow)”, “Sat(urday)”, “in fou(r days)”, “Au(gust 1)”. As you can see, it jumps to all the right conclusions. REMINDERS One of Things’ most-requested features is now here: time-based reminders! You can add a reminder by typing (natural language recognition), or just speak to Siri.

For those to-dos you absolutely cannot miss, reminders will give you peace of mind. TYPE TRAVEL Search and navigation in Things is now extremely fast, with Type Travel. All you need to do is start typing – the name of a list, to-do, or tag – and instantly you’re taken there. SLIM MODE Collapse your sidebar with a two-finger swipe to cut out distractions and focus on your work. This is great when you’re working in Split View, or if you just need more room on your screen. MULTIPLE WINDOWS You can now open multiple projects in their own windows and drag to-dos back and forth between them to organize with ease. Or use them across multiple displays, desktop spaces, or split views – whatever suits your personal workflow.

AND MUCH MORE Visit our website to see all that’s new: thingsapp.com. 3.0.3 Jun 3, 2017. —— New in 3.0.3 ——. In addition to OmniFocus and Wunderlist, you can now import from Todoist – go to File Import. Fixed an issue that prevented the OmniFocus import script from importing deferred projects.

We now hide Calendar events that have been declined. Improved the user experience when expanding a to-do below an already-expanded to-do. We now block the setting of reserved keys as shortcuts in the tag management window.

Improved performance when dragging an email into a to-do’s notes to create a link. Fixed an issue where the File menu command for “New Heading with Selection” didn’t work (hold down Option to see it). Fixed an issue where the main window could appear inactive when the Jump Start or Quick Entry popovers were visible. Fixed some AppleScript issues.

Fixed several crashes. —— New in 3.0.0 ——. ALL-NEW DESIGN How it looks, how it works, and how it feels – Things has been completely redesigned, with more clarity, improved workflows, better structure, and delightful animations. It’s a to-do list like no other. PROJECT HEADINGS It’s so much easier to handle your projects now that you can break them up with headings.

Use them to create categories, milestones, or whatever you need – just give each one a name and drag your to-dos underneath. Instantly you’ve got a nice, clean structure for your list, and the plan becomes perfectly clear.

CHECKLISTS Some things take several steps to complete but don’t require a full-blown project. Now you can use Checklists to break down the finer details of a to-do. Use them for shopping lists, when packing your bag for a trip, or to detail a process at work so you won’t miss a critical step. CALENDAR INTEGRATION Display calendar events alongside your to-dos and stay on top of your schedule. They will show at the top of your Today list, and for each day in Upcoming, where you plan the week ahead. PLAN YOUR DAY – WITH TODAY AND THIS EVENING Once you’ve made your plan, the Today list is your go-to place for all daily activities. Calendar events now display at the top, giving an outline of your schedule.

Your to-dos follow, with a discrete section at the bottom called This Evening for things you’ll get to later in the day. PLAN YOUR WEEK – WITH UPCOMING Plan your week ahead with the new Upcoming list. It shows everything on your agenda for the coming days: scheduled to-dos, repeating to-dos, deadlines, and calendar events. A quick peek at this list is all it takes to stay on top of your schedule.

On your iPhone and iPad, you can now choose between three beautiful appearances – Light, Dark, and Black – or have it switch automatically based on your display brightness.

Here on the Mac, where Dark Mode was added in 3.7, some users requested an extra option to run Things in Light appearance even when the operating system was set to Dark. This is now possible from the View menu.

This update also includes various other fixes and stability improvements. From all of us here at Things, Happy Holidays! Thanks for a great year and see you in 2019.

Battincash2, Just about perfect task management app!! I have been using Things since version 1 back in like 2010. I love love love this app and it keeps getting better. Things 3 at first seemed like mostly a nice UI overhaul, but as I continued discovering their new workflow methods and all the new features, I realized how incredibly powerful it is.

It has so many ways to organize your tasks – Project Headers and now collapsible Areas has helped immensely with managing many tasks and keeping me sane. I would still love to see collapsible Project Headers, dependencies, and an “All Tasks Due” quick view (which we had in Things 1-2). But overall, I feel way less overwhelmed and more in control of my hundreds of projects, thousands of tasks, etc that have been created over the years. As an added bonus, the iOS version is like 100 times better than Things 2 and syncs seamlessly with the desktop app. I’m not one of those people complaining about the price(s)considering how much work is put into the app and the updates (which, yes, were extremely slow between Things 2 to 3), I think it’s well worth it. I tried out OmniFocus 1 and 2, but it just doesn’t work for my design or workflow sensibilities. Things is the perfect balance between simplicity and complexity – NOT an easy task to pull off.

Last thingI do have a bunch of UI suggestions (small visual tweaks for consistency and better user experience), but I’ll leave those for another review;).

Last thingI do have a bunch of UI suggestions (small visual tweaks for consistency and better user experience), but I’ll leave those for another review;). Uinazi, It’s growing on me I was a loyal and satisfied user of Things 2 until I got tired of waiting for updates. When I first tried Things 3, after too many years of waiting (and happily moving off the platform), it seemed like mostly eye candy. Areas still are not well thought out, and the update to the visual presentation now makes common views more confusing than ever.

It was a real disappointment. It is very sharp-looking, and has good UX design integrity, but I struggled with suitability for the purpose. But as I’ve stuck my foot in the Things 3 water to try to get real work done, I’ve begun to appreciate how cleanly it works and how efficiently I can use it. I was using 2Do for several months, and it does most of what I want.

But it’s quirky, an odd patchwork of too much stuff that has weak design integrity. So I’m always trying to remember how to do THAT because it’s different than how you do THAT. With Things 3 it all hangs together. Checklists are nice. Headings are nice but incompletely implemented.

Siri integration is great. There are limitations to the way the Areas/Projects model is displayed I find it confusing at times and have had to work around it. But it’s my go to app for now for personal use and for a very complex work environment. So far so good. I hope I won’t have to wait another 3-5 years for needed improvements and bug fixes. And yes it is still way overpriced. Developer Response, Hi, sorry to hear that.

Did you already take a look at our website? We’ve put many powerful new features in the app that we think will make you more productive: Headings, Checklists, Calendar integration, an Upcoming list to plan your week, natural language, date input, slim mode, etc. You can go to thingsapp.com to find out more.

Regarding your specific feature requests: - Next Actions: Our Anytime list shows you the next 3 to-dos across all your projects and areas, so that's a great place to look. Sequential and parallel projects: Indeed, this is a distinction Things does not make – we find the concept too specific and limiting. Instead, you can now use Headings to structure your projects to your needs. Waiting for: Tags are a powerful way to adapt Things to your specific workflow, and this is a perfect example. Simply create a “Waiting For” tag, then filter by that tag inside individual lists. Or use Quick Find to see what you're 'waiting for' across the entire app. Uinazi, It’s growing on me I was a loyal and satisfied user of Things 2 until I got tired of waiting for updates.

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. APPLE DESIGN AWARD WINNER 2017. HERE’S HOW THINGS WORKS If you’re new to Things, this is the basic workflow: 1. Collect Your Thoughts Get things off your mind quickly: no matter what app you’re in, a keyboard shortcut instantly reveals Quick Entry. Type your thoughts and save them to the Inbox.

Or just talk to Siri on any device (“Remind me to.”) and import from Reminders. Get Organized Create 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. Plan Your Time See 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. Make the Most of Your Day Every 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. Customize Your Workflow Use 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 THINGS 1.

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. 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. Additional details (checklists, tags, reminders, deadline) are nicely tucked away in the corner until you need them. It’s got a touch of magic.

Things removes friction in magical ways. As an example, take Type Travel, a remarkable new way to navigate your lists. You just start typing where you want to go – the name of any project, area, or to-do – and instantly you’re transported there. Or look at the Natural Date Input – just type “Tom(orrow)”, “Sat(urday)”, “in fou(r days)”, “Au(gust 1)”., and it will jump to all the right conclusions. It’s got all the power of macOS. Things is fully integrated with all the latest macOS technologies: Touch Bar, Today Widget, Calendars, Siri & Reminders, Share Extension, Handoff, and AppleScript. And much more.

Everyone’s got their favorite feature, it’s impossible to list them all. See what our users love about Things – visit our website at: thingsapp.com WHAT’S NEW?

For today’s release, we took a close look at all your suggestions and revisited many areas of the app to polish it up. The result is Things 3.5 – a “Spit and Polish” release that combines 29 great little features and improvements into one big update. AREAS — Now Collapsable! Without a doubt, collapsable areas has been one of our most requested features. If your project list is super long – or if you just don’t want to see work projects on the weekend – collapse your areas to hide them. TAGGING. We’ve made the tags window searchable on iOS. Just pull down and start typing to find the tag you want.

We’ve made app-wide tag searches broader. When you search for a tag, you won’t just see items with that tag, but also items with its nested tags. A feature from Things 2 has also made a comeback: you can once again filter by “No Tag”. INPUT/OUTPUT — Copy & Paste Magic. Paste text from other apps into Things to create new to-dos (multiple lines of text will create multiple to-dos). Paste multiple lines of text into the title field of a to-do; the first line is the title, the rest goes into the notes.

One of the main feature requests we’ve received is to provide a way to also make.changes. to items that already exist. This is now possible, thanks to our new UPDATE commands. See our website for more info. TODAY WIDGET The Today Widget now shows:. Inline icons for checklists & reminders.

A moon for items in This Evening. Progress pies for projects. PERFORMANCE. Some people have projects with thousands of to-dos. Those projects should load faster now.

ALL-NEW DESIGN How it looks, how it works, and how it feels – Things has been completely redesigned, with more clarity, improved workflows, better structure, and delightful animations.

It’s a to-do list like no other. PROJECT HEADINGS It’s so much easier to handle your projects now that you can break them up with headings. Use them to create categories, milestones, or whatever you need – just give each one a name and drag your to-dos underneath.

Instantly you’ve got a nice, clean structure for your list, and the plan becomes perfectly clear. CHECKLISTS Some things take several steps to complete but don’t require a full-blown project. Now you can use Checklists to break down the finer details of a to-do. Use them for shopping lists, when packing your bag for a trip, or to detail a process at work so you won’t miss a critical step.

CALENDAR INTEGRATION Display calendar events alongside your to-dos and stay on top of your schedule. They will show at the top of your Today list, and for each day in Upcoming, where you plan the week ahead.

PLAN YOUR DAY – WITH TODAY AND THIS EVENING Once you’ve made your plan, the Today list is your go-to place for all daily activities. Calendar events now display at the top, giving an outline of your schedule. Your to-dos follow, with a discrete section at the bottom called This Evening for things you’ll get to later in the day. PLAN YOUR WEEK – WITH UPCOMING Plan your week ahead with the new Upcoming list. It shows everything on your agenda for the coming days: scheduled to-dos, repeating to-dos, deadlines, and calendar events. A quick peek at this list is all it takes to stay on top of your schedule. JUMP START Working with dates is super easy with the new Jump Start date selector.

Use it to quickly put to-dos in your Today list, schedule them for later, or put them on hold in Someday. NATURAL LANGUAGE RECOGNITION Jump Start has a magical ingredient: Natural Language Recognition. It smartly detects what you’re typing to work out what you mean. “Tom(orrow)”, “Sat(urday)”, “in fou(r days)”, “Au(gust 1)”. As you can see, it jumps to all the right conclusions.

REMINDERS One of Things’ most-requested features is now here: time-based reminders! You can add a reminder by typing (natural language recognition), or just speak to Siri. For those to-dos you absolutely cannot miss, reminders will give you peace of mind. TYPE TRAVEL Search and navigation in Things is now extremely fast, with Type Travel. All you need to do is start typing – the name of a list, to-do, or tag – and instantly you’re taken there.

SLIM MODE Collapse your sidebar with a two-finger swipe to cut out distractions and focus on your work. This is great when you’re working in Split View, or if you just need more room on your screen. MULTIPLE WINDOWS You can now open multiple projects in their own windows and drag to-dos back and forth between them to organize with ease. Or use them across multiple displays, desktop spaces, or split views – whatever suits your personal workflow.

On your iPhone and iPad, you can now choose between three beautiful appearances – Light, Dark, and Black – or have it switch automatically based on your display brightness. Here on the Mac, where Dark Mode was added in 3.7, some users requested an extra option to run Things in Light appearance even when the operating system was set to Dark. This is now possible from the View menu. This update also includes various other fixes and stability improvements. From all of us here at Things, Happy Holidays! Thanks for a great year and see you in 2019. Battincash2, Just about perfect task management app!!

I have been using Things since version 1 back in like 2010. I love love love this app and it keeps getting better. Things 3 at first seemed like mostly a nice UI overhaul, but as I continued discovering their new workflow methods and all the new features, I realized how incredibly powerful it is.

It has so many ways to organize your tasks – Project Headers and now collapsible Areas has helped immensely with managing many tasks and keeping me sane. I would still love to see collapsible Project Headers, dependencies, and an “All Tasks Due” quick view (which we had in Things 1-2). But overall, I feel way less overwhelmed and more in control of my hundreds of projects, thousands of tasks, etc that have been created over the years. As an added bonus, the iOS version is like 100 times better than Things 2 and syncs seamlessly with the desktop app. I’m not one of those people complaining about the price(s)considering how much work is put into the app and the updates (which, yes, were extremely slow between Things 2 to 3), I think it’s well worth it.

I tried out OmniFocus 1 and 2, but it just doesn’t work for my design or workflow sensibilities. Things is the perfect balance between simplicity and complexity – NOT an easy task to pull off. Last thingI do have a bunch of UI suggestions (small visual tweaks for consistency and better user experience), but I’ll leave those for another review;).

Last thingI do have a bunch of UI suggestions (small visual tweaks for consistency and better user experience), but I’ll leave those for another review;). Uinazi, It’s growing on me I was a loyal and satisfied user of Things 2 until I got tired of waiting for updates. When I first tried Things 3, after too many years of waiting (and happily moving off the platform), it seemed like mostly eye candy. Areas still are not well thought out, and the update to the visual presentation now makes common views more confusing than ever.

It was a real disappointment. It is very sharp-looking, and has good UX design integrity, but I struggled with suitability for the purpose. But as I’ve stuck my foot in the Things 3 water to try to get real work done, I’ve begun to appreciate how cleanly it works and how efficiently I can use it. I was using 2Do for several months, and it does most of what I want. But it’s quirky, an odd patchwork of too much stuff that has weak design integrity. So I’m always trying to remember how to do THAT because it’s different than how you do THAT. With Things 3 it all hangs together.

Checklists are nice. Headings are nice but incompletely implemented. Siri integration is great. There are limitations to the way the Areas/Projects model is displayed I find it confusing at times and have had to work around it.

But it’s my go to app for now for personal use and for a very complex work environment. So far so good.

I hope I won’t have to wait another 3-5 years for needed improvements and bug fixes. And yes it is still way overpriced.

Developer Response, Hi, sorry to hear that. Did you already take a look at our website? We’ve put many powerful new features in the app that we think will make you more productive: Headings, Checklists, Calendar integration, an Upcoming list to plan your week, natural language, date input, slim mode, etc. You can go to thingsapp.com to find out more. Regarding your specific feature requests: - Next Actions: Our Anytime list shows you the next 3 to-dos across all your projects and areas, so that's a great place to look. Sequential and parallel projects: Indeed, this is a distinction Things does not make – we find the concept too specific and limiting.

Instead, you can now use Headings to structure your projects to your needs. Waiting for: Tags are a powerful way to adapt Things to your specific workflow, and this is a perfect example. Simply create a “Waiting For” tag, then filter by that tag inside individual lists. Or use Quick Find to see what you're 'waiting for' across the entire app. Uinazi, It’s growing on me I was a loyal and satisfied user of Things 2 until I got tired of waiting for updates.
