Just realized #ThingsApp understands “YYYY.MM.DD” style date formats 😍

Granted I don't need that often, since it also understands humanized input very well (“1y” -> 1 year from now, etc etc) but still!

I know it’ll never happen, but I think Things on iOS and iPadOS should use a 3D-style icon based on the macOS app’s 😎

#Things #ThingsApp #iOS

I should see if I bothered writing down /why/ I bounced off of #OmniFocus 3 and settled on #Things (#ThingsApp? ugh. fucking cutesy anti-search-friendly names) years ago.

Cuz I sort of want to try OF4, but not if it retains whatever core issues I had with it, which meant Things (with its polished-but-limited feature set) was still better for my needs.

(Things is still fantastic, but dev is glacial & team clearly doesn't care about addressing the glaring UX issues that it does have…)

#Todo

@maxzsol I have a pocket planner too to jot things down quickly. And to avoid potential distractions from having a phone in front of me.

Recording these in #BearNotes means I can search for past events. As for tasks, I use #ThingsApp as my main to-do list manager. Putting my three most important tasks here is part of my daily reflection/planning process to remind myself what I should focus on. Small tasks that I need to clear get added to Things.

#ThingsApp for to-do lists.

I have task lists in #BearNotes to track my progress, and in #NotionHQ to track the team’s progress.

But Things is my main personal task tracker because the great user experience and the integration with Apple’s Reminders.

@shadeed9 in my experience a calendar is a poor to-do list unless you can only complete tasks at pre-scheduled times. Most of my work can be done at almost any time, so putting them on a calendar (and then having to reschedule if I get interrupted) is counter-productive. A task manager like #Todoist or #Asana (I use #Thingsapp) is much better suited to managing “anytime” tasks. Apple Reminders is an increasingly good tool for this too.

Hot damn I love #ThingsApp by Cultured Code, especially for iPad. Yeah it ain’t cheap, but it’s so worth it.

Incredibly clean, simple, and fluid. I have a couple requests for different options or behaviors, but overall I’m super satisfied. If you’re curious but on the fence and have a Mac, I think they have a demo there. It’s also pretty easy to get a refund from the App Store if you go that route too. #iPadApps #iOSApps
