[edit] Main features
Things allows tasks to be subdivided into several sections, which correspond to parts of the Getting Things Done methodology:
[edit] Collect
- Inbox is used to collect tasks which have not been filed in a specific place yet.
[edit] Focus
- Today highlights tasks which are due on the current day or are intended to be completed that day.
- Next is an overview of upcoming tasks in all of the program's areas and projects.
- Someday is used to catalogue tasks which need to be done, but are not time critical.
- Scheduled contains recurring and delayed tasks and projects.
[edit] Organize
- Projects are collections of tasks related to a specific larger task.
- Areas can be used to collate tasks which correspond to a similar theme.
[edit] Additional features
- Quick entry allows users to add tasks via a small window which can be activated within any program using a global keyboard shortcut.
- Tags let users further describe tasks using the popular tagging organisation paradigm.
- Team collaboration allows users to assign tasks to other team members.
- iCal synchronisation
- Logbook lets users view all completed tasks in one view.
- Dock badging allows users to see how many items are due on the current day by looking at the application's dock icon.
[edit] iOS version
Cultured Code has released a mobile version of Things, which is available for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. The desktop version can synchronize tasks with the mobile versions of Things over a Wi-Fi network. [4]
