It provides, together with my calendar app, structure and confidence that I will remember to do everything needed at the right time. Pros Things simplifies my life and frees up brin capacity by letting me schedule tasks to do today or years from now and then focus on what to do now, knowing that the future tasks will pop-up on my list when they require my attention. Cons Things does not have its own geolocation function that allows you to get reminders based on your location (e.g. remind me to talk to X when arriving at work next time). There is a way to accomplish that with app integration, but it would be great if it was native to Things. Switched from [Todoist](https://www.capterra.com/p/149339/Todoist-for-Business/) Todosit was too complicated. Things is more straightforward and easy to use, yet powerful enough to simplify my life. Review Source BS Ben S. Production Manager Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A solid, easy to use program for task management and everyday thought organization." August 29, 2022 5.0 Overall I really enjoy using Things. It has simplified my workflow, and makes it easy and efficient to keep track of everything I have going on, without being cumbersome or overly involved and complicated to use. I have tried so many different todo list and task management systems over the years, with most being too simple and not powerful enough to do what I need them to, or overly complicated and bloated with features that I don't need, or workflows that are cumbersome. Things really hits the sweet spot for me with the features and power to keep me on task, without slowing me down or frustrating me. Pros I love how quick and easy it is to put down the things that I need to do every day. I love that there is an inbox where I can do a mind dump with everything that needs to be done at some point, and then come back later when I have time and sort them into certain days to do them, or defer them for some other time. I love that the there is a quick add feature on my desktop, as well as the quick add feature on my iPhone, so that I can quickly throw new things into the inbox when a random thought pops into my head. I always struggle with forgetting things for good if I don't write them down when they pop into my head, and this essentially solves that issue for me as I can almost always grab my phone when a though comes in and enter it into Things quickly and know that it will be there when I come back to it later. I love the way you can use areas, headers, and projects to efficiently label and organize everything. I have multiple ongoing projects that I am working on in different areas of my life, and this makes it easy to keep them all separate, but still be able to keep track of where things are and what the next thing I need to work on is to keep things moving forward. I love how seamlessly the iPhone app and the desktop app work together. There is no thought involved in it at all. Everything stays in perfect sync no matter if I'm working on my phone or on my computer. Cons The only real complaints I have about Things is the lack of any real collaboration support. It would be really useful to be able to add people to certain projects or task lists, or to assign people certain tasks in a project, and they be able to see, add, edit, and mark off tasks as they go. Or be able to have a team track along with how projects are going and what their current status is. I see a lot of people also complain about the lack of attachments also. While this isn't something that personally affects my workflow, I can see how it would be useful, and understand why people are frustrated that it isn't supported. I think if they had an add on subscription service to allow attachments and collaboration, it would really make it one of the best programs out there. Switched from [OmniFocus](https://www.capterra.com/p/177722/OmniFocus/)[Microsoft To Do](https://www.capterra.com/p/227173/Wunderlist/) I wasn't happy with OmniFocus or Microsoft To Do, and I found myself reluctant to use them everyday, and it was difficult to keep everything on track and stay on top of what I needed to do. I wanted to love OmniFocus, and normally I love the products from OmniGroup. However, I found the software overly verbose and complicated to use efficiently. The user interface wasn't easy to navigate for me. It just seemed to be overly complicated and clunky, and I always felt a little daunted every time I opened it. Over time I just stopped using it regularly. Microsoft ToDo was okay. I liked it much better when it was Wunderlist. I feel like it got buggier and didn't quite work as well, or they way I was used to once they took it over.

I have tried so many, but have stuck with Things for years now. One of the secrets is that there are less bells and whistles, less leavers to play around with. This means, I take less time to make the task list look perfect, and more time on actually doing the work. The other reason is that tasks I do not complete today, just get carried over to tomorrow. This means there is not a backlog, no past days to navigate back to. There is simply 'today' which includes all the tasks I purposefully added today's date to (plus the ones carried over from yesterday). There are two types of dates: deadlines and reminders. With tasks that have a deadline, I will usually set a reminder a couple of days in advance. Each day I try to take a couple of minutes to look at 'today' and move out anything that I give up on doing or want to postpone. That way I know what is in 'today' is truly things I want to tackle that day, if I am able. If not, I know the task will show up tomorrow again and did not disappear into the abyss of digital nirvana. Pros It is so easy to use! I have tried lots of task managers and this one works best for me, mainly because of how little there is to 'play around' with. I love the design and the integration of apps on the Mac, iPhone and iPad are great. Cons There are a few small things that could be changed to increase its usefulness, but most of them are 'nice to have' and don't touch on core functionality. Sequential tasks (making task 2 show up once task 1 is completed) are the most obvious missing feature. Prices are high (especially compared to some free, yet still high quality offers) but comparable to their main competitors (OmniFocus, Todoist) Review Source SW Sam W. Storyteller Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Get Out What You Put In" November 13, 2022 5.0 I love it. I bought it for my phone initially and liked it so much I also bought it for my tablet. I like that it syncs automatically between the two. So if I'm setting up a big project I can do it on the tablet with the keyboard, and if I am just checking my tasklist I can do that on the phone I carry around. I find I don't forget important tasks so much anymore, so long as I write them down then Things has me covered. Pros This is a very user-friendly and very powerful task management system. I like the simple interface, I find it intuitive to use. There are lots of options to dig into in terms of breaking things down. The ability to add notes to tasks is so helpful. I like the repeating tasks scheduler a lot. Being able to set deadlines in addition to decide independantly when to tackle a task is good, especially as this applies to projects and not just the 'to do' itself. So I can set a deadline on the project, but schedule the tasks separately. I love that I can look at the calendar view and see scheduled tasks, upcoming deadlines AND that it pulls from my calendar so it can all be seen at a glance. Cons It's really annoying that there is no 'archive' function. I created a new area for "Moving House" as I had several sub-projects relating to it. Well now I have moved house what do I do? If I try and delete it then it will delete everything and that feels wrong. I did those tasks, wiping them out loses some of the satisfaction of checking them off in the first place.Sometimes I wish I could have projects within projects. Yes I could make it an area, but that's too macro as those things are grouped under a heading. I'm a writer, so I have an area called "writing" and then I can create a project for "Book One" but within that book there are projects like "first draft", "revision", "marketing" etc. I can do subtitles within the project but then it can make it super long and intimidating. I can also do bullet points within tasks but that isn't as satisfying as checking off the task itself. It feels like another layer would be good. Review Source BD Ben-Anthony D. Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Brilliant for managing your life" September 17, 2021 4.0 Pros I love how there are no differences no matter what platform I use, whether it be desktop or mobile. It’s reliable, organised and easy to use Cons I don’t like the lack of team management features Alternatives considered [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Things The pricing, UI and UX Switched from [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) The pricing for Monday.com made it too expensive for daily task management and the mobile app is almost unusable compared to the desktop application Review Source Frank R. Co-Founder, CTO and Product Lead Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Things shows that power comes with simplicity" January 28, 2019 5.0 Overall, Things has no parallel in the productivity GTD space, because there's no other with a better balance of rich features and ease of use. It's an app that feels like it was created by designers/UX specialists first, and engineers second, whereas a tool like OmniFocus with some nice design to boot, nonetheless comes across as primarily the product of engineers. Pros Things is unparalleled in one area: design-empowered usability/simplicity. Productivity tools often compete on feature sets, but Things shows that sticking to a core set of features and evolving their design can yield better results than simply adding more features. While other tools can become a chore to keep up to date, Things is a tool you want to use even after several weeks, because of its simplicity. Of course this doesn't mean it's underpowered or lacking in features. It has most of the important hallmarks of a GTD system, and implements them in a UI that makes them accessible. No more, no less. Cons Thing's integration with MacOs has been its biggest shortcoming for me. While notifications work well enough, they're not powerful enough to interact with the app in a way that doesn't require you to actually open up the app. For example, the default Reminders app has a notification, which allows you to not only mark it as complete, but more importantly delay the notification, so that it pops right back up after 1hr or the next day. The Things notification on the other hand forces you to switch to the app and configure the delay with several clicks rather than just the one that it should take were the notifications to be more powerful.

DevOps Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "WARNING, highly biased review: I'm a Things die hard fan :)" February 1, 2019 5.0 Being a long time OmniFocus 2 user, at first I was hesitant of switching to Things given the amount of effort, time and money I spent on OF2 already; moreover, I was happy with it (in a general sense) so, again, it took me some time to decide to give Things 3 a fair try. But when I did... boy, oh boy! I already tried other task managers (2DO being the most notable of them) but ultimately stuck with OF. But there was one thing about OF3 that especially put me off: the iOS app. This is, of course, a personal taste, but to me just watching the OS3 iOS interface felt a lot of work by itself. Coming from OF, Things 3 interface feels a visual welcome rest. It's neat, it's easy on the eyes, it displays all the data that you need and the navigation both on Mac and iOS is just fantastic; the more I used Things, the more it grew on me, and the less I was convinced to upgrade to OF3. But nonetheless switching to Things 3 was the best decision I could make. I can understand why a good chunk of longtime OF users was already migrating to Things (there are some good blog posts about that). I can say that Things is an integral part of my life, and I'm not exaggerating a bit here. I use it to organize my daily chores as well as personal and work stuff. It keeps me focused and prevents me from missing a thing. I can safely say that my productivity reached a whole different level by using Things 3, a boost of several magnitudes actually. Pros \- Both Mac and iOS apps are \*EXQUISITE\* - Buttery-smooth, impeccable performance - Down-to-earth way to organize your tasks - Beautiful GUI - Wealth of features - Sync between different clients works flawlessly - Cool API - Great integration with other apps (I use it mainly with DEVONthink Pro) - Very nice quick-entry box at the reach of a shortcut Cons \- I miss not having a public space to discuss the app like other great applications have; I believe that a Discussion forum would add lots of value to the app by enabling its community interaction Review Source CC Carol C. CEO Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Clean and simple, but limited in how you can access it" July 6, 2023 4.0 While I would love to use Things, I had to migrate away from it quite realizing just how limited it was in both features and accessibility compared to the other tools out there. I'm not sure why the company behind the tool has no interest in making their app accessible across all devices when the purpose of the tool is productivity. Productivity is quite hindered if the only way I can access it is by picking up my distracting iphone while I'm trying to get work done on my Windows computer. Pros \- Clean and simple UX and UI is probably Things' strongest features compared to the plethora of similar tools out there.- Great for use with the GTD (getting things done) method- one-time purchase Cons My biggest issue with Things is that while it's very simple and uncluttered, it really does not help me be productive. It lacks integrations with other tools and the worst part is that the only way you can access it is to use an Apple device. That means there is no possibility of me accessing my notes and tasks when I need to but I'm working on my Windows computer rather than my mac/ipad/iphone. This could be solved with a simple web app version that could be accessed through the browser, but for whatever reason, Things just has no interest in becoming a more widely accessible app.Another con is that while I listed "one-time purchase" as a pro, I also consider it a con because it is a one-time purchase PER device/account that you own. That means I must purchase separately 3 times - one for iphone, ipad, and Mac. It's a very unusual way of doing things in my opinion. Review Source Travis G. Senior Instructional Multimedia Designer Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for getting things done" February 15, 2019 5.0 Great overall experience. It's part of my daily workflow and keeps bills paid, projects on task, and deadlines hit. It fits in great with my other project management workflows to keep my individual tasks more organized, and I love having a simplified to-do list right on my phone. Desktop version can be a little pricier, but well worth it. Pros I love how simple yet robust it is. I can keep a simple to do list, but then I can also set a schedule for some tasks, repeating tasks, set deadlines, have sub-items, organize into specific projects or areas of focus, and I love that I can set it up with iOS's notifications so if I can't add something by hand, I can tell Siri to set a notification and Things will pull it in for me to look at later. Things helps give me a good overview of things that are coming up and what I need to focus on for the day. One of the best things though, is that you can more-or-less customize it to fit what works best for your workflow. Cons If anything, the Someday and Anytime groups. But I think that's mostly because I haven't quite figured out how it works best for me. They have a very good explainer and tutorial on their website though. I do wish there were some more robust deadline features though, and specific iOS alarms for individual tasks, or for them to bring back a daily reminder to look at your to-do list. But I've been using it for almost 10 years now, and I've gotten a really good habit of checking it throughout the day. Review Source Sarah Jean T. Systems Strategist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Things is a great out-of-the-box tool." May 20, 2023 5.0 Overall, I found Things to be a great tool that I used for years! It's so simple and easy, which a task manager should be. I wouldn't recommend using this for any complex project management, but it's wonderful for daily tasks and to-do lists. Pros I love the clean, intuitive interface of Things, the ease of use, and the simple set of (necessary) features! I like that you pay for the app once, and don't have to commit to a monthly payment. Cons One thing that Things is lacking is integrations. I really like to be able to easily turn emails into tasks, for example, and there are no email clients that I could find that would sync to Things. Another thing to note is that if you want Things on all iOS devices, you have to purchase the mobile app, iPad app, and desktop app separately. There is no web app, Android, or Windows functionality at this time.

Designer Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Getting things done with “Things”" June 23, 2023 5.0 Overall I enjoy working with this app and it helps me clearing my head of tasks and ideas easily and in an effective way Pros Its ease of use and the fantastic user interface and user experience. That it works perfectly with the “Getting Things Done” methodology. Cons The interaction with the scrollbar of the sidebar on the left side of the app window when using a mouse. It is sometimes hard to get it moving on the first try, because often you are adjusting the width of the sidebar instead. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer II Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clean, easy to use and useful." June 20, 2021 5.0 Things is a great app, it is fast, bug-free and easy to use. It syncs quickly across all my devices and has been my favorite way to manage my daily tasks. Pros \- The UI is very clean and easy to use. - The software is very stable and crashes/issues are rare. - Adding reminders and recurrent tasks is easy and alerts are useful. - Syncs well with Apple watches. Cons \- My biggest complaint is that it has no format for texts. It would be great to see at least some basic markdown support. I know this is a todo app, and they want to keep it simple, but I believe that being able to format the description/notes on tasks would make it much better and more useful. - I wish there was a way to share tasks with other people, for example if I needed to create a list of things to buy from the supermarket. - Expensive (especially the desktop app), but worth in the long run. I dislike that I had to buy a license for the iPad, another one for my iPhone and one for my Mac, but considering how much I use it, I'm glad I did. Review Source Jason H. Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Things is a very well made app, but something useless because not cross platform" July 29, 2019 5.0 Pros I have loved Things for a very, very long time. It is extremely well designed and when I was fully in the Mac ecosystem it was great. It's very Apple-like design. Easy to use, but powerful underneath. An exquisite way to organize your life. Cons Times have changed, and developers generally don't use just one platform. A tool that is used to keep track of absolutely all my tasks NEEDS to be available everywhere I go. It is very sad to me that I can no longer use Things for this reason. They desperately need a web app and ideally a native Windows app. Reason for choosing Things I did not choose things over Notion. Ultimately I am using Notion. While it is not a direct competitor, it is an amazing tool, and one of my favorite applications ever developed. It lets you create your own searchable databases in an extremely intuitive way. In a way, Notion lets you develop apps for your own use. I find it very intuitive and really appreciate the fact that they have native apps for every major platform as well as a web app. Review Source CF Craig F. MD Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Things " January 18, 2022 5.0 Pros This is the best piece of software I have ever bought and I’m a heavy duty user in my job and in daily life. Things has replaced the need to use expensive project management software by providing a very simple interface with no overloading of the UI which lets you do everything while not having to go back and forth etc. Cons Things isn’t open source and is not free. It’s expensive when you consider 4/5x point of access but for a lifetime license it’s ok. Switched from [Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/) In search of something more simple on desktop and in app format. Review Source Marvin B.

I open the app first thing in the morning and close it as the last one at night. It‘s super intuitive to add and view task for both short- and long-term projects. Cons Only a minor downside: widgets currently don‘t update automatically without opening the app. However, the interaction with the widget got way better with the last version so I‘m sure it‘s just a matter of time until background refreshs work properly Review Source Nate C. Assistant Accounting Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic task manager that keeps getting better." June 5, 2018 5.0 Increased productivity, and the freedom of not feeling like I have to remember every little thing that needs to get done. Pros I love the clean, modern design aesthetic and usability of the software. I also love that despite this visual simplicity, there is a lot of power and flexibility under the hood. The develop resisted adding notifications (i.e., task alarms) for a long time, which was always my main complaint, so I was relieve when they added this in their most recent overhaul. My other favorite feature is the Things Helper (I use a Mac), which allows me to add a new task using a keyboard shortcut while on the fly without even having to switch to the Things window. It's also context aware, so if I do this while looking at an email, for instance, it will automatically add a direct link to that email in my task. That is very, very cool in my books. Their companion apps for iPhone and iPad are also fantastic, and very much worth the purchase. Cons I use to have a list of minor pain points with this software, but honestly they've all been addressed in this latest release. Kudos to the developers.

Pros I love that it integrates with my calendar. I love that it has an AppleWatch app. I love that I can use it with Siri. I love how projects are organized so I can covert a to-do into a project at anytime. I love how simple it is to use. Cons I really wish it had collaboration built in.

Manager Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not cheap, but worth the price!" January 29, 2023 5.0 Things keeps name on track and more importantly, allows me to get tasks out of my brain space until the moment I need to focus on them. And it's pixel perfect design is easy on the eyes too. Pros The 'getting things done' approach works well. Areas of responsibility, projects and general tasks that can be organised in any way that suits. The today view is excellent and the app looks great. Excellent integration with the mac including the shortcuts app, email-to-task and a useful URL scheme. Cons You have to purchase a separate version for each platform (iOS, Mac, iPadOS) but it's a one off purchase with no subscription model. So a high price initially to get set up, but perhaps better than an annual fee! No web or Windows interface, so Apple only. Review Source PC Pedro C. Office Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "a super practical to-do app" December 9, 2021 4.0 I love Things, I had used many task managers before and they made making the list of activities a chore, but with how easy it is to do it in things, it really makes it more fun and engaging, Pros It might seem like a small thing, but creating tasks quickly is an incredible experience, just hit space to create a new one, and then type the details and hit enter to save, don't need to click anywhere or select from any drop down menu or anything Cons I wish it had online collaboration, I love Things for my personal projects and work, but im forced to look for other options for collaborating with others, also its a bit expensive and they charge you for the Mac app, the iOS app and the iPad app separately, that's kind of a bummer, would also like to have recurring tasks Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[Microsoft To Do](https://www.capterra.com/p/227173/Wunderlist/) Reason for choosing Things Its app based, not browser based, it looks very smooth and its so easy to add tasks that there's no friction between wanting to add a task and adding it, it works even better than one could imagine Review Source CW Christopher W.

I like the simplicity and the way it looks and feels using it. It does not come in the way of my line of thought. Pros The aesthetics of it combined with its easy to use feature set. It is well put together. Simple and intuitive. Cons For me its strength lies in task managment, not project management. I would like some crossover features.

Owner and Lead Photographer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Finally, a to-do list that works for me." March 31, 2018 5.0 Pros Less is more. That's really the crux of the matter with Things. Since it received a massive redesign and reconceptualization last year, it does... less? That's hard to say... but honestly I don't care, because what it does, it does amazingly well. It's incredibly easy to enter to-do items from anywhere on your desktop or iPhone (there's also an iPad version which I haven't purchased). Instant syncing across your devices. Custom reminders. A gorgeous, clean design that makes me want to use it. The intro project (Meet Things Mac, which is designed to help you get to know all the features of Things quickly) was perfectly conceived, and I was up and running inside of 2 minutes. (Compare that with some of the more complex To-Do software like OmniFocus -- which I also purchased once and never used much -- and you'll understand the value of this.) My life has never been so organized. Cons \* I would love the ability to ATTACH (and not just link to) documents, photos, etc. \* Siri integration could be better. \* It's kind of expensive+ for the desktop and iPhone versions of the software -- but still, that's a decent chunk of change. Review Source Zac R. Interaction Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great task managment app" November 20, 2018 5.0 It’s a great way to track tasks and deadlines. I use it everyday. Pros I’ve tried several task management apps and I’ve liked Things the best. I like it for a couple of reasons. One is how simple it is to add to my inbox. Either using Siri or the app, it’s super quick and easy. I like that it connects to my calendar so I can see calendar events in the same place as my tasks. I like that creating and organizing projects is super simple. I like repeating events, adding reminders, adding deadlines, etc. Overall it’s got some really great features. Cons My number one complaint about Things is the lack of ability to attach documents to tasks. There are several times where it would be nice to add an image, or a PDF to a task but this isn’t allowed. You can attach links to tasks (that link to these items) but if the link ever breaks, it’s useless. Also, the emailing of tasks to my inbox is still a bit clunky. I usually end up just deleting the emailed version and re-entering it. Review Source MP Madden P. Dental Student Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mix Between Second Brain and Calendar" April 27, 2023 5.0 I use Things on a daily basis in my role as a dental student as well as in my personal life. I would credit Things as being one of the biggest influencers in increasing my productivity over the past five years. Pros The keyboard shortcuts are 100% my favorite part about Things. Throughout my day, as I am told a deadline or think of an idea I instantly will hit my shortcut and dump it into my inbox where I can set alerts and reminders when needed. This allows me to stay focused on my task and not forget anything either. Cons I think some sort of calendar integration is due. While I know I can see my tasks in list format, it seems that it would just be too simple to be able to see a calendar view so why not? Review Source Chelsea U. Senior Associate Information Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Obsessed" December 7, 2018 5.0 Pros Things has singlehandedly upgraded my life, as I feel 1000x more organized. I use my Today list every day as my north star for what I want to get done, and can easily drag to another time on my schedule if I'm not going to get to it. Much better than using the calendar because tasks are often not time-specific (though I do like the This Evening option). I also LOVE the email-task integration, where I can turn an email into a task using a keyboard shortcut, and the fact that I can easily have notes and links associated with a task. Cons I suppose being able to have a collaborator on a project would be nice, although I haven't really minded this as completely individual to-do lists can help with accountability. It also can be hard for me to pitch Things to friends and colleagues given the cost, though I find it reasonable. Review Source Similar Products Featured
