Try it out

Award-winning personal task manager for Mac and iOS.

Things is a highly-acclaimed task management application that blends a clean, distraction-free interface with powerful productivity features. It organizes tasks into areas of responsibility and projects, utilizing a 'Magic Plus' button for intuitive task creation. The platform supports structured planning through its unique 'Today' and 'This Evening' lists, while 'Heading' structures within projects allow for granular organization of complex workflows. Deep integration with the Apple ecosystem enables features like 'Type Travel' for keyboard-driven navigation on Mac and seamless handoff between mobile and desktop devices.

Pros

  • Features a unique 'This Evening' category that separates late-day personal tasks from professional work goals to prevent mental overwhelm.
  • Utilizes a 'Type To Find' navigation system on Mac that allows users to jump between projects and tasks instantly by just typing.
  • Provides a specialized 'Mail to Things' service that converts incoming emails into actionable tasks with a unique, private forwarding address.

Cons

  • The application follows a traditional one-time purchase model per platform, which can become expensive for users who own a Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
  • Strict exclusivity to macOS and iOS makes it unsuitable for users who need to access their task lists on Windows, Android, or web browsers.
  • Lacks native collaboration features, meaning it is strictly a personal productivity tool and cannot be used to assign tasks or manage team projects.
