Get things done! The award-winning Things app helps you plan your day, manage your projects, and make real progress toward your goals.
Best of all, it’s easy to use. Within the hour, you’ll have everything off your mind and neatly organized—from routine tasks to your biggest life goals—and you can start focusing on what matters today.
“Things offers the best combination of design and functionality of any app we tested, with nearly all the features of other power user applications and a delightful interface that never gets in the way of your work.”
—Wirecutter, The New York Times
KEY FEATURES
• Your To-Dos
Your basic building block is the almighty To-Do—each a small step toward a great accomplishment. You can add notes, tag it, schedule it, and break it down into smaller steps.
• Your Projects
Create a Project for any big goal, then add the to-dos to reach it. Use headings to structure your list as you outline your plan. There’s also a place to jot down your notes, and a deadline to keep you on schedule.
• Your Areas
Create an Area for each sphere of your life, such as Work, Family, Finance, and so on. This keeps everything neatly organized, and helps you see the big picture as you set your plans in motion.
• Your Plan
Everything on your schedule is neatly laid out in the Today and Upcoming lists, which show your to-dos and calendar events. Each morning, see what you planned for Today and decide what you want to do. The rest is down to you :)

“Things has the best implementation of external keyboard support I’ve ever seen in an iPad app.”
—Federico Viticci, MacStories

AWARD-WINNING DESIGN
Made in Stuttgart, with two Apple Design Awards to its name, Things is a fine example of German engineering: designed not only to look fantastic, but to be perfectly functional as well. Every detail is thoughtfully considered, then polished to perfection.
“It’s like the unicorn of productivity tools: deep enough for serious work, surprisingly easy to use, and gorgeous enough to enjoy staring at.”
—Apple

THINGS 3.21
Things is ready for iPadOS 18, with new Control Center buttons and support for the new Dark and Tinted Home Screen appearances. Plus, we’ve laid the groundwork for upcoming integration with Apple Intelligence.
CONTROL CENTER
iPadOS 18 introduces a new way to control apps from your iPad’s Control Center, which is accessible when swiping down from the top right corner of the screen. Here you can add two types of controls for Things:
• Create To-Do
Opens Things to a new to-do, ready to type.
• List
Quickly jumps into any list in Things, such as Today, your Errands tag, or a project. To choose which list, flip the control over like you would when configuring a widget.
DARK & TINTED HOME SCREENS
iPadOS 18 provides two new appearance modes for your Home Screen and Things supports them both.
• Dark Mode
Things has a beautiful new dark app icon. Switch your device to Dark Mode to see how it looks!
• Tinted Mode
Things’ app icon and widgets also adapt to your color of choice in the new Tinted Mode. To see how it looks, choose “Tinted” when customizing your Home Screen.
LARGER WIDGETS
Things’ widgets can be made slightly larger on iPadOS 18 by setting your Home Screen to “Large”. This hides the labels under widgets and app icons, providing a bit more room. Things’ layout smartly adapts to the new size and even shows more of your list in some configurations.
KEYBOARD LANGUAGE RECALL
Finally, there’s a neat little improvement for our multilingual users: If you wrote one of your to-dos in another language, Things now remembers that and switches the keyboard back to that language when you next edit that to-do.
READY FOR APPLE INTELLIGENCE - coming later to some countries
When conversing with Siri, Things will support four different kinds of commands. We recommend trying these once Apple Intelligence is made available in your country. See Apple’s website for more information.
1. Create a new to-do: “Remind me to ‘Call Tim’ in Things.”
2. Search for a to-do: “Search for ‘Call Tim’ in Things.”
3. Show a list: “Show my Today list in Things.”
4. Edit a to-do: “Complete the second to-do.” (you can also edit a to-do’s title or reminder time)
We’ve also adjusted Things to smoothly integrate the new Writing Tools once they become available.
We hope you enjoy using Things on iPadOS 18!
