Things
A polished Apple task manager for projects, routines, and daily plans.
Things is a personal task manager from Cultured Code for organizing tasks, projects, and day-to-day plans across Apple devices. It emphasizes a clean native app experience while still supporting deeper workflows such as project notes, search, keyboard use, sync, and Apple Shortcuts integration.
Why it stands out
- Built specifically for Apple platforms rather than as a generic cross-platform web app.
- Balances simple personal task capture with project-level organization.
- Long-running, well-regarded app with multiple Apple Design Awards.
- Supports power-user workflows through keyboard shortcuts and Apple Shortcuts while staying focused on personal tasks.
Good to know
- Available only for Apple devices listed on the site; there is no web, Windows, or Android version described.
- Positioned as a personal task manager, not a team collaboration or shared project-management system.
- The site presents separate device-specific versions and prices, so buyers should check requirements and cost for each platform.
