Things 3.0 - Complete revamp of the original, award-winning task manager

Baffled by how a team with this level of ux mastery chose to launch 3.0 without true cross-platform functionality and list sharing. Is it art, not app?

I've been a Things user since 2007. Within the last couple of years Things 2.0 started to feel stale, and I found myself exploring other alternatives. Yet I could never end up replacing it.

Thankfully, Things 3.0 comes out of nowhere with a completely redesigned experience that is fast, beautiful and it allows you to do everything with speed — the perfect recipe for a todo app.

This app feels like it belongs on iOS 11 even though it was launched weeks before the iOS 11 beta was announced. It's that good!

You still can't share tasks with others, but the great experience easily out weights that need.

Pros:

Beautiful design. Beautiful UX.

Cons:

Can not share tasks with others.

Absolutely incredible. The previous versions of Things are some of my favourite app designs of all time, and this looks like it improves substantially on the experience. Loving it on iOS and Mac so far. Looking forward to giving this a proper test drive, I'm pretty sure this is going to become my go-to task manager. Special shoutout for the incredible aesthetics and extremely functional UI. Well done!

I may have gone too fast on the product page, but it seems we can't actually share tasks or list? I pretty much clicked on this thread expecting this, as a long-term customer, it makes me a bit sad :( Beautiful UI though.

I only tried the macOS version, but I must say it's the most beautiful piece of software I ever tried on my Mac.

I bought Things 1 for Mac, iPhone, and iPad like 7-8 years ago, and have used it daily. I'm more than happy to throw $64 [$40 (Mac) + $16 (iPad) + $8 (iPhone)] at Cultured Code for Version 3. I had feared CC would go a subscription route and I would be forced to find an alternative since I'm unwilling to subscribe to any app (I don't want to reward developers for using a shitty, anti-consumer monetization model where you're left with nothing to show for your investment if you stop paying them), and $64 for the entire suite is honestly cheaper than many annual subscriptions that 'freemium' apps try to con out of people.

So beautiful I've just cleaned my screen

"Apple devices only" is not doing it for me

The UI is gorgeous, there's plenty of attention to detail and I figure the focus was on making the experience seamless across platforms... The only question is whether it fits the way you organize tasks in your head and your general workflow situation (for instance, it clearly leaves out teams, and users of non-Apple platforms). Here is a pretty raw braindump of my first test drive with the Mac app: https://www.evernote.com/l/ANbqG...

Beautiful app. Really fun to use. Agreed about too many taps or clicks being required in some cases. Also, I think email-to-task functionality is an essential part of any task management system, since so many emails are just tasks in disguise. Airmail and Dispatch help here, but it would be great if Things gave you an email address you could forward tasks to, like Evernote and OmniFocus and Todoist and 2Do all have. There is an IFTTT workaround here, but not ideal.
