What it does
Things organizes personal to-dos into projects and areas, with project headings, checklists, reminders, scheduling, and recurring tasks. Its Today and Upcoming views help users choose what to work on and see what is scheduled next. The vendor sells separate one-time purchases through Apple’s App Stores and says Things does not provide real-time shared lists or collaboration.
Things is deliberately focused on personal task management: capture a to-do, group related work into a project, break it into headings and checklists, then schedule it for Today or a future date. The vendor’s feature pages describe reminders and recurring tasks, while its support material clarifies that lists are not shared in real time. Each Apple platform is purchased separately, and the pages reviewed did not expose a single universal price, so regional App Store amounts should be checked before purchase.
