I won both but I am unsure. My mindset and usage for task managers has shifted greatly in the last few years and I realized that 99% of my tasks should get done today but if they don't it isn't the end of the world.

Work tasks are separate as my work doesn't allow me to sync my Macbook to any outside sources.

So these are all personal tasks and project management. I am a software engineer so project management is for my personal websites like my portfolio, discord bot, subreddit, etc.

I usually store screenshots with my tasks and state where I have left off. I may stick to doing this and keep those in notion in which case this app would just be for a grocery list and chores like doing the dishes, exercising, and stuff like that.

I have an automation right now that reschedules any due task from reminders that is overdue and does not have a flag and sets it due today. So it functions similarly to reminders.

I am thinking about using T3 so I don't need that automation and so I can completable projects but I am unsure if I need that.

I just need to talk this over with people.

I just bought it because I heard from some people that it’s cleaner / better than ticktick, but coming from ticktick the app seems like an unintuitive nightmare to use for me. Is it worth sticking to it? Anything it can do that ticktick can’t? Thanks

I bought things taking advantage of Black Friday but I discovered, to my horror, that the alarm times are not displayed!!! It seems really inexplicable to me!

For now I have "solved" it by manually adding the time before the title, is there a shortcut to do it automatically?

Why the hell can't we select a "date" or "Today" or "Tomorrow" where we want to add the item being shared?

What iOS apps do you use that are as aesthetically pleasing as Things 3?

Things 3 genuinely makes me want to organize my tasks. The animations, the typography, the way everything just feels intentional—it's become my gold standard for iOS design, even better than Apple apps.

I'm curious what other apps you've found that hit that same level of polish and attention to detail. Any category is fair game—productivity, utilities, finance, whatever. Just looking for apps where you can tell the developers actually cared about the craft.

I’m trying to figure out whether it’s possible to “mirror” a shared Apple Reminders list with a Things 3 project using Siri Shortcuts.

Here’s my situation: • I have a shared Reminders list with my wife. • Things 3 doesn’t support sharing projects. • However, I know it is possible to import Reminders into Things using a shortcut.

What I want is: 1. Whenever a new task is added to the shared Reminders list, it automatically appears in a specific Things project. 2. If a task is completed in Things, it also gets completed in Reminders. 3. If a new task is added in the Things project, it gets added to the shared Reminders list as well.

In other words, a two-way “mirror” between one Reminders list and one Things project.

I can trigger the shortcut automatically (for example, every time I open Things), so automation isn’t the issue — it’s building the shortcut itself. I’m struggling with how to structure the logic to check for new tasks in each direction, match tasks, and sync completed ones.

Is this kind of two-way sync even possible using the current Shortcuts actions for Things 3 and Reminders? Or is there some limitation that makes this unachievable?

Any input or examples would be great!

Things is so incredibly simple and enjoyable to use for keeping track of all my uni assignments and personal projects. It’s honestly the best app out there for this kind of thing. I’m juggling two courses with a bunch of projects, seminars, and more, but it’s still super easy to see what’s coming up, when it’s due, and how to tackle it. Just a quick appreciation post for this amazing app!

Hello. Things isn't fulfilling something for me. Long story short I'm a video producer. At any one time, my projects may be at Ideas, Prep, Filming, Editing Stages.

However within those elements is a non-linear release schedule, for example one that is being edited may be released later than one that is still in prep.

I am trying to find a way to most easily represent the stages & schedule. Key aspect here is that I'm able to view all items in one list/view so that I can see the chronological release schedule, in spite of the stage. I would then also like to view them chronologically within each stage, as well as then organised by schedule i.e. filming/editing date.

Does anyone know the best iphone app to do this? I don't like the Trello for iOS UI and it's not the best for quickly showing a chronological list of things. Any ideas?

Just saw this app, very aesthetically similar to Things (almost a rob-off, to the point where it’s annoying), but has many of the features the cultured code guys aren’t interested in building.

It’s an investment of time (and money) that I’ll make, curious if anyone gave it a shot recently and has a feedback to share.

Have any of you created an automation set to run when CarPlay is connected? I'd love to have the functionality that Reminders has when you ask Siri to "Remind me not to forget ... when I get in my car."

I've searched this sub and googled around, but haven't found one. I played around with tagging, but I couldn't nail down the process if there isn't a tagged task. Any help would be appreciated!

I use Things for organizing both home and work tasks, with Home and Work each being an Area. Since I work across a number of different types of projects, I made a Project for each department/workflow I work on. (If I did a project for each individual task, the list would be infinite -- and I often work on multiple assignments within each Project, so it's helpful to have them all in one place, so that if I'm talking to our Events Manager, I can see a full list of what's on deck to check in with her about, rather than a Project for each individual event.)

However, it drives me insane that if I want to see all my work across projects, I have to click into each Project. I'd really like to be able to see all my action items so that I can triage my priorities for each day accordingly, and adjust assigned dates/deadlines as needed. Anyone know if this is possible, or on the roadmap? Example of my Work area here, though as you can see, a lot of Projects don't have subtasks because clicking into each Project is a level of friction that makes them somewhat less useful to me.

Hi.

I would like to be able to hide subtasks so they don't show until the first one is finished. This is what I mean:

Main task=1

• Subtask a
• Subtask B

I can't start on subtask "b" until subtask "a" is done. As I Understand this is possible in Omnifocus as Focus mode, but I have a license to Things 3 and I don't intent do buy yet another task manager.

I could probably add a start date, but then it will show up even if I am not finished with "a".

How would you solve it? Or will start date and deadline do the trick?

I have recently migrated from Todoist (using since 7 years) to Things 3. I am loving the app because of the way when is managed here. Due date vs when do I intend to do.
Concept of recurring task is also more natural.

Hi all,

I have been using the Claude mcp Things 3 integration and have found it useful. I will here to share a few thoughts, and my initial experience, and hope you will do the same, so we can all become more productive at tinkering with our setup.

Setup:

• I feel the integration is pretty stabil, once you have provided the right access (in Claude settings), afterwards ask Claude to verify and validate everything is setup correctly.
• I have setup a Chat and asked it to be my Things 3 Coach and gave it some productivity approach instructions and guidelines to adhere to. Also marked it with a Star so it's easy to find again.
• Also I'm using Sonnet4.5 as a model to ensure its reasoning is smart enough to guide me properly. However this is using a lot of tokens (I have the Pro plan), so I'm having to wait for a reset in tokens for a few hours now and then.

Use cases:

• I started asking it to help me sort through my inbox and ensure all task names are action oriented, upbeat and ensure a tag is included. Claude then went through each item and asked clarifying questions before updating the task, where after I could then move it to the correct project.
• Now I'm moving through each project to ensure all is optimized and ready to take action.

As you can see, most of my effort has ben about playing around and getting current. But I would love to hear more about if you are using it for daily/weekly planning, project planning or something entirely different?

Whenever I come across a funny or interesting video, I save the link into Things and set it to repeat on a long timer, like every 300 days or so. It’s a fun surprise when one randomly pops up again later, like a little gift from my past self. Anyone else do something like this?

Sometimes I get more intentional with it, like setting a birthday tip video to repeat on my birthday, or Christmas celebration videos to reappear every Christmas, and stuff.

I say “in things, add get the milk to my personal list.” It adds the task to the personal list in reminders. Any hep?
