New in Things 3.15 (Oct 25, 2021)

  • This is our big update for macOS 12 Monterey with two headline features: integration with Apple’s new Shortcuts app for Mac and wide-reaching performance improvements in Things. We’ve also improved support for international keyboards, added time-sensitive notifications, and more.
  • APPLE SHORTCUTS:
  • Things for Mac now has full integration with Apple’s Shortcuts app. Use it to make templates for things you do regularly, create to-dos with pre-filled content, quickly view your lists, and more. Check out our support pages for some tips to get started: thingsapp.com
  • Any shortcuts you’ve already created on iPhone or iPad will simply work on macOS 12 Monterey once you upgrade.
  • MAJOR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS:
  • Over the past months we’ve put a ton of work into improving performance. This involved a massive unification of Mac & iOS code and a redefinition of how lists operate under the hood. The resulting speed boost will be most noticeable for those with very large databases and many projects, but the app will be generally snappier for everyone.
  • There were also a few situations where Things would behave differently on Mac & iOS. As an added benefit, our work on code unification eliminates such quirks, providing a more consistent experience across devices.
  • INTERNATIONAL KEYBOARD SUPPORT:
  • With the release of macOS 12 Monterey and iPadOS 15, keyboard shortcuts can adapt to your specific keyboard layout. Apple’s own apps have adopted this behavior on Mac and iPad, and we’ve now built it into Things.
  • If you have a US keyboard, your shortcuts won’t change. On non-US layouts, shortcuts involving letters will mostly stay the same. Shortcuts involving special characters will now be easier to type, and some that were previously impossible to use can now be typed for the first time!
  • To see the new shortcuts for your keyboard layout:
  • On Mac, simply browse the app’s menu or go to Help > Keyboard Shortcuts.
  • On iPad, hold down the Cmd key.
  • AND MORE:
  • Widget customization: You can now choose which list the “+” button saves to.
  • Time-Sensitive notifications: Things’ notifications always get through, even in a Focus mode, so you never miss anything important.
  • Quick Note integration: After viewing one of your lists in Things you can switch to Apple Notes and click the “Add Link” button there.
  • Import from Reminders: The new Tags are now imported (if a tag doesn’t exist in Things, it will be created).
  • System Services: To-dos and list contents are now passed to the Services menu as text.
  • OTHER IMPROVEMENTS:
  • Improved the ordering of logged to-dos in projects.
  • Fixed a bug where to-dos duplicated in Today could appear in an unexpected order.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented moving a scheduled to-do to a different heading via keyboard.
  • Fixed a bug where some lists might not immediately reflect changes after trashing a project.
  • Fixed a bug where, if Today was in grouped mode, moving a to-do up out of This Evening could remove its relation to its parent list.
  • Fixed a bug where an incorrect warning could be shown when setting a date + reminder.
  • Fixed a bug where a to-do could incorrectly remain highlighted after hitting Escape in the When popover.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented removing reminders when multiple to-dos were selected.
  • Fixed a bug where to-dos’ dates could change when dropping to-dos under a heading that had other dated to-dos.
  • Fixed a bug where to-dos below a heading would continue to appear independently in the Logook even after their parent project had been logged.
  • Fixed a bug where the order of sections in Today (when Today is grouped) would not change after reordering lists in the sidebar.
  • Fixed a bug where incorrect section headers could appear in the Logbook.
  • Fixed a bug where marking a project incomplete wouldn’t restore completed to-dos from the Logbook.
  • Fixed a bug where pasting would fail for items copied from the Logbook.
  • Fixed six bugs related to tags and filtering.
  • Fixed numerous crashes.

New in Things 3.14.4 (Sep 8, 2021)

  • Fixed a crash that could occur when typing certain characters in notes.

New in Things 3.14.3 (Sep 6, 2021)

  • Fixed a problem with the color of placeholder text for newly-created lists in the sidebar.
  • Fixed some glitches that could occur when editing lists’ titles in the sidebar.
  • Fixed a bug that caused error messages to appear in the output when printing the Upcoming list.

New in Things 3.14.2 (Aug 20, 2021)

  • Improved stability and bug fixes.

New in Things 3.14 (Aug 12, 2021)

  • BULLET LISTS:
  • ​
  • Things now has support for writing great-looking bullet lists in your notes, and it couldn’t be easier to use. ​Simply type “-” followed by some text. You can also use other bullet characters like *, +, or •
  • As you’d expect, text that wraps to a new line is neatly indented for better readability. Editing is smart, too. When you hit Return, a new bullet is inserted. Return again escapes the list. And copy/paste automatically removes accidental “double bullets”.
  • You can also nest lists! Simply insert a few spaces before bullets to indent them, or use our new keyboard shortcuts: Cmd-[ and Cmd-]
  • ​
  • MARKDOWN:
  • ​
  • As many of you requested, you can now use Markdown to structure and style your notes!
  • ​
  • If you already know Markdown, go ahead and try it out. Things detects a wide range of commonly-used syntax and renders it in a unique blend of proportional and fixed-width fonts. It looks and feels great!
  • ​
  • If you don’t know Markdown, here’s how it works. To emphasize a word, surround it with asterisks, like so: *emphasized*. Things will detect this and render the word in italics. If you remove the asterisks, it goes back to normal again. Here are a few more examples:
  • • Use two asterisks to make text **bold**.
  • • Use colons to ::highlight:: text.
  • • Insert “#” at the beginning of a line to make a heading (# My Heading).
  • So your notes are still plain text, like before. There are just some special characters that make the text appear in a different style. It’s a bit quirky, yes, but after using it for a while we think you’ll enjoy how easy it is to style text while you write. Give it a try!
  • As you’d expect, we’ve also added some great keyboard shortcuts. Find them in Edit > Markdown.
  • To learn more, check out the Markdown Guide on our website.
  • ​
  • FIND TEXT IN NOTES:
  • ​
  • Things already had great full-text search across all your lists, but now you can find text just within the current note. Try it out: open a to-do and hit Shift-Cmd-F. There’s also a replace function if you need it.
  • ​
  • ​
  • THINGS CLOUD “FRACTUS”
  • ​
  • Many of you are already taking long notes in Things and there’s no doubt this update will encourage this even more. We wanted to make sure Things Cloud is up to the task.
  • ​
  • Introducing Things Cloud “Fractus” – our smart new method for syncing notes. Before, even a tiny change would require the *entire* note to be synced again across all your devices. But now, only the small edits themselves are transferred. This drastically improves the speed and efficiency of the sync and allows for smarter resolution of conflicts.
  • ​
  • There’s nothing you need to do to set this up – we’ve already turned it on.

New in Things 3.11 (Dec 22, 2019)

  • QUICK FIND – NEW LISTS:
  • If you’ve been using Things for awhile, you’re probably quite adept at zipping around the app with Quick Find. For today’s release, we’ve added some handy new lists to navigate to.
  • To access these new lists, simply type their name into Quick Find:
  • “Deadlines” – all your upcoming (or passed!) deadlines, neatly sorted.
  • “Repeating” – all your repeating to-dos in one, convenient place.
  • “Tomorrow” – a nice focused list to plan tomorrow, today.
  • “All Projects” – an overview of all your big goals.
  • “Logged Projects” – an overview of your past achievements.
  • While not technically a list, note that you can also type “Settings” (or “Preferences”) to quickly get there. No more digging for that Settings button!
  • QUICK FIND – RECENTS:
  • We’ve also made switching between lists even quicker: invoke Quick Find and you’ll now see all the lists you’ve recently viewed.
  • And on iPhone or iPad you no longer need to scroll to the top of a long list to access Quick Find: just tap the list’s title for instant search.
  • QUICK FIND – HEADINGS:
  • Quick Find now supports searching for projects’ headings and quickly navigating to them.
  • MORE IMPROVEMENTS:
  • See the exact date and time when a to-do or project was created or completed. On iOS, tap ••• > Share > Get Info. On Mac, go to Items > Get Info.

  • We also have full support for macOS 10.15 Catalina, and several changes as outlined below.
  • REMINDERS INBOX:
  • Apple’s Reminders app has changed quite a bit this year. We’ve reworked the existing feature for adding to-dos to Things’ Inbox. As before, you’ll find this feature in Preferences > Reminders.
  • REMINDERS IMPORT:
  • We’ve also built a new “Reminders Import” feature for users who want to migrate their entire Reminders database over to Things. You’ll find this feature in File > Import.
  • DARK MODE SCHEDULING:
  • Things already had a Dark Mode that was tied to the system-wide setting on macOS, but the system can now switch the mode automatically on a daily schedule, meaning Things will switch on schedule too (unless you set Things’ mode manually, which is still possible).

  • Fixed an issue where x-success callbacks weren’t called after adding a to-do via Quick Entry.

  • Augmented the sync triggers while editing a project or area; changes will now also be synced when your Mac is about to sleep, you switch away to another app, or if your last interaction with Things was more than ~60 seconds ago.

  • On the Mac, this update ensures consistency with new keyboard shortcuts introduced on iPad.

New in Things 3.5.1 (May 4, 2018)

  • AREAS — Now Collapsable:
  • Without a doubt, collapsable areas has been one of our most requested features. If your project list is super long – or if you just don’t want to see work projects on the weekend – collapse your areas to hide them.
  • TAGGING:
  • We’ve made the tags window searchable on iOS. Sweet! Just pull down and start typing to find the tag you want.
  • We’ve made app-wide tag searches broader. When you search for a tag, you won’t just see items with that tag, but also items with its nested tags.
  • A feature from Things 2 has also made a comeback: you can once again filter by “No Tag”.
  • INPUT/OUTPUT — Copy & Paste Magic:
  • Paste text from other apps into Things to create new to-dos (multiple lines of text will create multiple to-dos).

  • New on Mac: Copy to-dos, projects, or headings and paste them into other lists within Things.

  • On iOS, you’ll find the new paste option in the top right corner under the (v) menu.
  • THINGS URLs — Update Existing Items:
  • We were extremely pleased with the launch of Things URLs, which allow you to create data in Things from outside the app. One of the main feature requests we’ve received is to provide a way to also make *changes* to items that already exist. This is now possible, thanks to our new UPDATE commands. See our website for more info.
  • TODAY WIDGET:
  • The Today Widget now shows:
  • Inline icons for checklists & reminders.
  • A moon for items in This Evening.
  • Progress pies for projects.

  • AND MORE:
  • Headings in projects can now be duplicated.
  • Improved layout when in full-screen mode on Mac.
  • Fixed a bug that could affect the system alert volume.
  • Fixed a crash when duplicating items that were new in Today.
  • Fixed two other crashes.

  • Improved stability and bug fixes.

New in Things 3.4 (Feb 21, 2018)

  • Introduces three great new features: Linking to Things, Powerful Automation, and Handover from other apps – all made possible by our brand new Things URLs!
  • LINKING TO THINGS:
  • Things now supports a special kind of link (or URL) that starts with “things:”. These links can be used to quickly jump to a to-do or list in Things from other apps. To generate a link on your Mac, right-click any item and choose Share > Copy Link.
  • POWERFUL AUTOMATION:
  • Things’ links can also be used to execute a broad range of powerful commands from outside of the app – to create to-dos, show tag filters, perform searches, and so on. See our blog for some ideas on how to use them.
  • HANDOVER FROM OTHER APPS:
  • Other apps can now easily send data into Things. For example, the mind mapping app MindNode allows you to brainstorm your ideas and then “hand them over” as a Things project when the time is right. Other developers wanting to export data to Things can easily do so with our open source Swift library.
  • This release also enables diacritic-insensitive search (i.e., searching for “uber” will also find “über”, “francais” will find “français”, etc.).

New in Things 3.0.1 (May 19, 2017)

  • ALL-NEW DESIGN:
  • How it looks, how it works, and how it feels – Things has been completely redesigned, with more clarity, improved workflows, better structure, and delightful animations. It’s a to-do list like no other.
  • PROJECT HEADINGS:
  • It’s so much easier to handle your projects now that you can break them up with headings. Use them to create categories, milestones, or whatever you need – just give each one a name and drag your to-dos underneath. Instantly you’ve got a nice, clean structure for your list, and the plan becomes perfectly clear.
  • CHECKLISTS:
  • Some things take several steps to complete but don’t require a full-blown project. Now you can use Checklists to break down the finer details of a to-do. Use them for shopping lists, when packing your bag for a trip, or to detail a process at work so you won’t miss a critical step.
  • CALENDAR INTEGRATION:
  • Display calendar events alongside your to-dos and stay on top of your schedule. They will show at the top of your Today list, and for each day in Upcoming, where you plan the week ahead.
  • PLAN YOUR DAY – WITH TODAY AND THIS EVENING:
  • Once you’ve made your plan, the Today list is your go-to place for all daily activities. Calendar events now display at the top, giving an outline of your schedule. Your to-dos follow, with a discrete section at the bottom called This Evening for things you’ll get to later in the day.
  • PLAN YOUR WEEK – WITH UPCOMING:
  • Plan your week ahead with the new Upcoming list. It shows everything on your agenda for the coming days: scheduled to-dos, repeating to-dos, deadlines, and calendar events. A quick peek at this list is all it takes to stay on top of your schedule.
  • WHEN SELECTOR:
  • Working with dates is super easy with the new When selector. Use it to quickly put to-dos in your Today list, schedule them for later, or put them on hold in Someday.
  • NATURAL LANGUAGE RECOGNITION:
  • The When Selector has a magical ingredient: Natural Language Recognition. It smartly detects what you’re typing to work out what you mean... “Tom(orrow)”, “Sat(urday)”, “in fou(r days)”, “Au(gust 1)”. As you can see, it jumps to all the right conclusions.
  • REMINDERS:
  • One of Things’ most-requested features is now here: time-based reminders! You can add a reminder by typing (natural language recognition), or just speak to Siri. For those to-dos you absolutely cannot miss, reminders will give you peace of mind.
  • TYPE TRAVEL:
  • Search and navigation in Things is now extremely fast, with Type Travel. All you need to do is start typing – the name of a list, to-do, or tag – and instantly you’re taken there. It’s magic!
  • APP-WIDE TAG FILTERS:
  • Just start typing the name of any tag to pull up an app-wide filter. It shows all items with that tag across all your projects and areas. It’s a fantastically versatile way to view your to-dos.
  • THE NEW SIDEBAR:
  • Projects in the sidebar are now nested under areas to keep everything tidy. Each one has a new progress indicator to show you how close you are to achieving your goal.
  • SLIM MODE:
  • Collapse your sidebar with a two-finger swipe to cut out distractions and focus on your work. This is great when you’re working in Split View, or if you just need more room on your screen.
  • MULTIPLE WINDOWS:
  • You can now open multiple projects in their own windows and drag to-dos back and forth between them to organize with ease. Or use them across multiple displays, desktop spaces, or split views – whatever suits your personal workflow.

  • To-dos in the Today list can now be reordered across project and area boundaries. Consequently, the project and area headings are gone.

Specifically, the Areas list is gone, and areas can now be managed using a dedicated "Manage Areas" dialog. Since projects and single to-dos still appear as objects, there is now a clear distinction between areas as containers and to-dos/projects as the contained items.
  • Areas. Areas no longer display a header. This leaves more space to the contained items and further helps to distinguish areas from projects.
  • Project header. Tags now get their own line to prevents multiple tags from being clipped.
  • Project header. Added a notes field, so it is no longer necessary to go to the Projects list to review a project's notes.

  • iPhone sync. Added support for syncing tags with Things for iPhone version 1.3. Version 1.3 has already been submitted and will be available on the App Store after the usual review process by Apple (which could take a week or perhaps longer).
  • Removed "Show due items in Today list" option in Preferences.
  • Compatibility. Due dates and activation dates (Scheduled list) are now evaluated at midnight instead of 4:00am. This improves compatibility with the iPhone version. In a later release we will add a preference to set a custom time of the day (or rather night :)).

  • Crash. Removed a bug that sometimes cause Things on the iPhone or iPod touch to crash during sync.

  • Bug fix. Fixed a bug that prevented Reminders (now renamed to "Show in Today") to be synced to the iPhone.
  • Bug fix. Fixed a bug that resulted in the wrong to-do being marked as completed when clicking on a checkbox while another to-do was in editing mode.
