Things 3

A clean and simple interface, a thoughtfully designed structure, and powerful functionality. The beloved task planner is back on your Mac – familiar yet refreshed and thoroughly updated!

Here are the core principles behind Things 3.

1. Capture everything that comes to mind

Don't keep tasks floating around in your head – write them down the moment they occur to you. Adding tasks in Things 3 mac is as easy as pressing a keyboard shortcut (which works from within any application on your Mac) or simply asking Siri to do it for you.

2. Organize your tasks by context and projects

Create a dedicated project for each major goal, then fill it with specific, actionable tasks that you can complete in a single sitting. Additionally, you can group projects and tasks into broader areas of responsibility – for example, "Work," "Hobbies," or "Health." Make it a habit to regularly look through all your areas and keep them up to date.

3. Plan your time wisely and efficiently

Events from your macOS Calendar and your tasks within Things 3 for mac are displayed together as one unified list, so you can quickly build out your schedule for the entire week without missing a single thing. For recurring tasks, it's easy to set up automatic repeats at exactly the time you need them.

4. Cut away the unnecessary distractions

Each morning, open your Inbox, pick the tasks you want to tackle today from the unsorted pile, and move them into the "Today" section. Any tasks you've already scheduled for today will automatically appear there as well. That's it! You don't need to look at any other lists. Calmly begin your focused work session on your Mac.

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

To further organize your tasks, tag them with your own custom labels. Apply 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 want, and easily search for specific ones or filter your entire task lists by them.

1. Things 3 app never gets in your way while you work.

It features a clear, thoughtfully crafted, and human-friendly interface where everything is exactly in its right place. No intrusive special effects, no unsolicited pop-up windows, and no menus with a hundred confusing options. Just you and your tasks on your Mac.

2. Things is laser-focused on your tasks.

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