I always loved Things, but the pricing seems... off. 44 euro's for the desktop version seems a bit much? At first glance it's almost 400% more expensive then other paid task management apps. And that is with the 25% discount. If you want Things on all your devices; that will set you back around 70-80 euro's.

@nielsvr Exactly. At those prices I will bite the bullet and live with Apple Reminders & Calendar like I have been for years.

@nielsvr I've been using Things 1 and 2 for more than 8 years. Happy to pay $80 for all 3 macOS, iPhone, iPad Apps (and watchOS too). $80 is a drop in the bucket for Apps that I use every single day, year in and year out.

@nielsvr Just be glad they don't do subscriptions... 40€ is actually very cheap given you're getting it for life... OmniFocus is about $40, Sketch is $100, Sublime is like $50... But come on, these are the things (see what I did there) you need for your work.

@kaler I definitely agree. I'm actually a little envious that I can't justify the cost of Things because it is a beautiful app. I'm just not busy enough to take advantage of all the features it has to offer. I find that Reminders and Calendar work well for my basic schedule.

@_vojto things (3 at least) seem to not be so focused towards work, anymore 👎🏻 I'm torn.

@_vojto I'm happy they skipped the subscription model. Still, I find it hard for myself to justify the amount for something like a todo manager. Although it looks and works great.

@_vojto @nielsvr Please don't say the s-word. You might give the dev ideas.

@nielsvr I get your point, but for an app that you are using on a daily basis that's a fair price. Especially when a subscription model would be the alternative. I tested the Mac and iOS version and they are close to perfection.

@lasserafn In what way does it not seem to be focused towards work anymore?

@mazameli guess I remembered wrong; but sharing/collab. and attachments are lacking (and seems to has always) so its not a change. My mistake

@lasserafn Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I've found I use Things exclusively for managing my personal work and life tasks rather than for collaboration. For collab at work, I've almost always found that my teams are already using some kind of other more robust system like Jira, GitHub, or Asana. For me, Things hits the sweetspot for that always-with-me to-do list that's powerful enough to deal with larger projects. Apps like Reminders or Clear just aren't powerful enough, and I'm not going to use Asana to remind myself to go to the dry cleaner.

@stefan_kracht @nielsvr Microsoft To-Do is already more perfect IMO. And it's free.
