I use multiple devices with various operating systems such as Android and Windows and Things 3 is sadly unavailable on these systems. Things 3 works great if you use multiple devices that are in the Apple Ecosystem, but that’s where it fails me. I use Things 3 on my iPhone 12, Apple Watch SE and iPad Pro and can honestly say that I’m not looking to switch anytime soon. You can read my full article on why I moved away from Notion here. I found the Notion mobile app to be too cumbersome for managing my daily life. I can argue that its simplicity makes me more productive, I migrated my dashboard from Notion into Things and it was the best decision I made in a long time. I know I said this a few times now but the design of the app is absolutely beautiful. I like having a progress ring next to the project because it shows how much work I have completed which makes me a bit more productive. For example, I have movies to watch and books to read projects under the personal section, it just helps keep things organised (Once again, no pun intended). The one thing I like about the app is the ability to make sections for specific things. The logbook isn’t a feature I make use of but it’s still nice to see the tasks that have been completed. I use the Someday area for non-urgent tasks that I can afford to procrastinate on. These tasks are tasks that need completing but it wouldn’t hurt if they are completed later. I use the Anytime area for tasks that don’t have a due date and I can complete any time. The upcoming area shows all the due tasks you have upcoming which is always useful to see. I mainly use this feature as a Home Screen widget on my iPhone 12 so that I know what tasks I’m doing that day. The Today area lists all the tasks that you have due on that particular day. It’s the perfect place for ideas to shine. Inbox is a technique I’ve been using in many apps, I’ve been using it in Trello, Notion and even OneNote. I use it as a default location for my tasks and I then move the task to the appropriate project. The app features an Inbox area where you can list your ideas that don’t have a due date. The main thing that brought me to Things 3 is the phenomenal design, there are just no words for it, it’s amazing! The simplicity of the interface combined with some useful features is what makes the app stand out in my books. Let’s get into specifics… Phenomenal Design Courtesy of Cultured Code In all seriousness, the app is a joy to use and it would break my heart if I had to give up on it. I’ve been using it to manage my daily life, personal projects and for just remembering things (No pun intended). I can easily say that I’ve been using Things 3 for a very long time now and I think it’s brilliant. Mac, iPad and iPhone apps are all separate
