DESCRIPTION
Things is 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. A Leopard style source list allows for quick and easy focusing. Together with a beautiful user interface, Things aims at the seemingly impossible: making task management both easy and fun.
Our screencast is a great introduction. Learn from our users why Things is different ? either on i use this or Newsvine.
-
The big picture. A Leopard style source list lets you easily focus without ever switching view modes or wrapping your head around filter criteria.
-
A magical tag bar automatically appears when needed and adapts to the currently displayed list. It lets you drill down even the longest list of To-Dos. Hierarchical tags? We got you covered!
-
Teamwork. Things offers convenient collaboration features. Easily delegate tasks to members of your team. (This is work in progress.)
-
No columns! Whether it's multiple tags, dates or notes, To-Do items display their information on an as needed basis. No more space wasted by empty or irrelevant column cells!
-
Out of your head, out of your way. A quick entry HUD lets you enter any idea the moment it hits you. Never let the thought of an unfinished business distract you again.
-
Yours forever. We won't lock you in. Things will use an open XML file format to store your data. (Not yet activated.)
- Things even supports GTD, so if you're familiar and comfortable with GTD concepts, you'll feel right at home.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.2.5:
- Fixed a bug that caused the Quick Entry hotkeys to only function after opening the Preferences.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later.

STEVEN GOODHEART I own and use OmniFocus and The HitList...but always keep an eye on Things to see if it's evolving/improving, since the perfect PIM has yet to be created, and I have no loyalty to any particular software -- if I find something better, I'm there. So, what I see, especially since the addition of the programmer who created the brilliant, but fairly short-lived iGTD, is that the pace of improvement and changes with Things has been quite impressive....way more often and significant than my other PIMs (though in fairness to OmniFocus, they got so much right, I don't really expect big changes there, though they keep refining it. The HitList already has a terrific, intuitive interface, but my impression is that the focus seems to be getting synching and the iPhone thing going. In that area, OmniFocus is the gold-standard.) Anyway, kudos to the Things folks. They are really improving their program. For example, this new list of changes and additions shows some real intelligence and definitely improves the functionality of the program. I'm impressed. Maybe not enough to buy yet *another* PIM -- I think I have a PIM addiction problem -- but if the program continues to improve at this rate and show such intelligence in changes to the interface/functionality, it's going to do just fine and win lots of new users. | |

JAN13 OK, OK so I did pull a plug and spent those zillion $$$ on this app. Well for simple reason, there is nothing around today which can be so simply streamlined and to point as this application. To say that, there is a problem with syncing Scheduled events to iPhone 3Gs at this moment, something which was forgotten in advertisement for this application ... I hope, that they will fix it asap., LOL, then this application will stay on my desktop 100%! So my initial summary is, that it is not so bad as matter of fact it is not dad at all ... As I say, simple, to point and it is doing a good job in reminding me to pay my bills on time !

E101 This is really one of the most irritating mac apps of these days, they even won an Apple GUI Design price which only proves how superficial Apple got on the design of the user interface. Eye candy doesn't make your computer usable. Things lacks so manying small improvements and has so many shortsighted shortcomings, it's a daily annoyance. Just now I couldn't find a keyboard shortcut to move an item from the inbox directly to the "Someday" folder. The GUI of Things is like Apple implemented the Cut and Copy functionality back in the early 80ies, but forgot to add the Paste. I'm using Things because of the lack of a better alternative (The Hit List was *very* promising but the developer decided to waste time on the iPhone companion, too).

JAN13 Things 1.2.3 must have a lot of friends on line to earn positive feedback ... Again differed folks, different strokes ... This application Things 1.2.3 is overpriced BIG TIME and hardly can compete SOHO ORGANIZER which is way better cheeper ( iPhone PlugIn is just round the corner ... ) ... and so open your eyes people ...

BLLOYD SOHO Organizer and Things are quite separate as far as applications go. What's with the silly comparisons?

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK I don't particularly favour Things or OmniFocus, but that was a terrible comment. Obviously Things, while different from OmniFocus, is not garbage.

ICONZ113 I was just trying to illustrate how much I favor omnifocus, Im sure things is very capable.

KAIDOH "I was just trying to illustrate how much I favor omnifocus" And because you wanted to "illustrate" your opinion you gave Things a bad rating. That is bizarre: Why aren't you over at the Omnifocus page and gave it a good rating instead. It is perfectly okay if Things is not your thing. You might even use a comment to express an opinion like that. But when you write a review you should think about writing one or two arguments. This site and especially the rating system is supposed to be helpful to users who seek information about the pro and cons of an app. Your "review" wasn't helpful to other macupdate users. Or just citing the macupdate recommendations on the review input form: "Please backup your claims with specific examples or reasons"

GAZMAN ICONZ113 - you are the one getting neg-repped, perhaps you need to get a life (BTW, I personally use OmniFocus as well but that doesn't mean I'm going to neg-rep Things).

TICONUCK There are strengths and weaknesses in all of the competitor in this application category, including Things. But may I just say that I have used a variety of similar applications, most notably OmniFocus, quite extensively, and I really wish that Things had been around sooner, and had matured sooner. It could have saved me so much of the frustration that I experienced with those other apps. It is very easy to use, and it has a very pleasant interface, and it is quite powerful, without being overwhelming, and without forcing you to use all of its features if you don't want to. I recommend you give it a try. Maybe it will be as good of a fit for you as it is with me.
