Things is a personal task manager for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro that organizes to-dos around the day, upcoming plans, projects, areas of responsibility, and deadlines. It is designed to make a large list feel actionable by separating what needs attention now from everything that can wait.

Capture a task quickly, decide whether it belongs in Today, a project, an area, or Someday, then add a date, deadline, tag, or checklist as needed. The app is especially useful for people who want a calm personal system that can handle work and life without becoming a team project-management platform.

Things is intentionally opinionated about personal task management. Its simple surface hides a structured organization model, so it works best when a person uses a few habits consistently rather than treating the inbox as the permanent home for every task.

Features

Capture tasks quickly and organize them into Today, Upcoming, Anytime, Someday, projects, and areas.
Add deadlines, reminders, checklists, tags, headings, and notes to give a task useful context.
Plan projects with ordered steps and review upcoming work without making every task due immediately.
Use Quick Find and keyboard shortcuts on Mac to navigate and create tasks rapidly.
Sync personal task data across the current Things apps through the developer’s sync service.

Where it fits

Things fits individuals who want a polished, personal task system with enough structure for projects but without team assignment, reporting, or collaboration overhead. It works well beside a calendar and a notes app.

It is not meant for shared project tracking or a complex company workflow. People who need delegation, collaborative comments, or a free cross-platform service should consider a different task manager.
