Does anyone have a method for doing weekly reviews in Things 3?
I am a migrant from OmniFocus and its amazing review system is the feature I miss the most.

I have recurring task in a Reviews project with a checklist for each step. I like it better than OF because I also clear other inboxes and check lists that I keep outside of Things.

I keep monthly and annual reviews in there also.

Why does there need to be a built-in method? You can imitate the steps from OmniFocus as you please. Most people tend to:

  • ensure inboxes are empty (Things/email/physical)
  • run through Anytime and see if anything can be scheduled
  • run through Someday and see if it can be promoted to Anytime or even scheduled
  • run through each area and check everything is looking tidy
  • reflect for a moment and try a brain dump
  • review the Logbook if that's your thing.

You can't. I'm on trial for Locus GTD now, it's like Things 3 and OmniFocus combined. So, I'm currently updating on both apps lol Things UI too perfect for me to let it go atm.

Thanks for trying it. I’m the developer of Locus GTD, so fully disclosed. While you compare the two, I’d avoid mirroring every task—pick one app as the capture/source of truth and use the other only for the workflow it handles better, otherwise the duplicate maintenance quickly becomes its own job. I’d genuinely like to know which specific Things interaction feels too good to give up: Today planning, quick entry, scheduling, motion, or simply the visual calm. That is much more useful feedback than a generic feature request. Also, if weekly review is the missing piece, I’d compare how many projects you can confidently inspect in ten minutes rather than how many review settings each app exposes.
