Things 3

A clean and simple interface, a thoughtfully designed structure, and powerful functionality. The beloved task planner is back — recognizable yet refreshed and better than ever!

Here are the core principles behind Things 3.

1. Capture everything that comes to mind

Don't keep tasks in your head — write them down the moment they occur to you. In Things 3 mac, tasks can be added instantly using a keyboard shortcut (which works from within any application on your Mac) or with the help of Siri.

2. Organize tasks by context and projects

Create a dedicated project for each major goal, then fill it with specific actionable tasks that can be completed in a single sitting. Additionally, projects and tasks can be grouped into broader areas — for example, "Work," "Hobbies," or "Health." Make it a habit to regularly look through all your areas and keep them up to date so nothing falls behind.

3. Plan your time wisely and efficiently

Events from your macOS Calendar and tasks from Things 3 app are displayed together in one unified list, so you can quickly build out your schedule for the entire week without missing anything important. For recurring tasks, it's easy to set up repeats at whatever interval you need.

4. Cut out the unnecessary distractions

Each morning, open your Inbox, pick out the tasks you want to tackle today, and move them into the "Today" section. Any tasks you've already scheduled for today will also automatically appear in this section. That's it! You don't need to check any other lists. Calmly get down to work and stay focused.

5. Structure tasks in a way that makes sense specifically to you

To further organize your tasks, tag them with your own custom labels. Assign a "Work" tag when writing a quarterly report, or a "Household" tag for dropping off a jacket at the dry cleaner or ordering cat litter. You can create as many tags as you like, and easily search for the ones you need or filter your entire task lists by them.

REASONS YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THINGS

1. Things 3 for mac stays out of your way.

It features a clear, thoughtfully crafted, human-friendly interface where everything is exactly in its place. No intrusive special effects, no unsolicited pop-up windows, and no menus with a hundred confusing items. Just you and your tasks, nothing more.

2. Things 3 is focused entirely on your tasks.

Within a list, tasks appear as concise items you can simply check off with a tick. But double-click any task with your mouse — and it opens up as a clean white page on your screen, spacious enough to hold all the information you need, including notes, clarifications, step-by-step checklists, tags, deadlines, and reminders.

3. It is full of delightful little details

Take the Type Travel feature alone — an incredibly transparent way to search and navigate across all sections. Or the natural language date parser, which correctly understands you when you type "tomorrow," "in three days," or "next Tuesday" and schedules things accordingly.

4. It is one of the most polished and well-crafted applications available for macOS.

Things supports all native macOS capabilities: the Touch Bar panel, a widget for Notification Center, the Share extension, Handoff mode, seamless data exchange with the built-in Calendar and Reminders applications, as well as powerful automation through AppleScript.

5. Your own personal favorite feature.

If you were to ask twenty different people, each one would have their own unique list of the most useful and well-executed features in Things. That is precisely why we publish user testimonials on our website: thingsapp.com
