Things

Personal task manager for Mac and iOS

Visit Things

Things is a personal task manager for Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. It helps users plan their day, organize projects, and track progress toward goals, with lists such as Today, This Evening, and Upcoming that combine to-dos with calendar events.

Features include headings for structuring projects, checklists within to-dos, tags, and Quick Find search with app-wide tag filtering and Type Travel on Mac. The Jump Start popover handles scheduling with natural-language date input, time-based reminders, and options to move items to Today, This Evening, or Someday. List editing supports multi-select, reordering, and batch edits, and the Magic Plus button inserts items directly into a chosen location.

Things is aimed at individuals managing personal and work tasks. It is sold separately for each Apple platform, with pricing shown per device; no free plan, trial, or subscription model is indicated.
