Hello Duo 👋

Things is ready for OS 27 – with Siri AI and Spotlight integration, better notification snoozing, a new extra-tall widget, and more.

Werner (@jainek), our CEO, joined the Mac Power Users podcast for a chat about Things. He shares how we think about product design, the decisions that have shaped the app over the years, and how we work at Cultured Code.

Here’s the full conversation:

We’ve made repeating to-dos far more flexible, with two highly requested improvements: you can now complete them early, and easily reschedule them when plans change 🎉

@phileas This is now in Settings → General:

Things is ready for Apple’s OS 26 releases 🎉 with a tastefully refreshed interface, a new app icon, better windowing on iPad, and many more improvements. Check it out → culturedcode.com/things/blog/

@JonStrassman This is actually possible if you do it on the Mac. Thanks for your feedback on supporting any number on iOS too.

We’ve rebuilt Things Cloud from the ground up – fast, modern, and ready for the future. 🚀 A behind-the-scenes look: culturedcode.com/things/blog/

Things is now also on Bluesky. Come say hello 👋 bsky.app/profile/things…

@zepyaf If you’re on the Mac, you can change the destination for where Quick Entry saves to:

Things is now also on Threads. Come say hello 👋 threads.net/@things.app

@murkee They do it in Reminders too. Notice that the second action becomes a “Filter” instead of a “Find”.

@RJ_Nash @EABowers @johannmx You can hide iPhone widgets in macOS Settings → Desktop & Dock → Use iPhone widgets

@Farnots Yes, it’s new. This is how we used to do it, but it no longer works due to limitations that came in watchOS 10 (we hope it will be possible again in future): culturedcode.com/things/blog/20…

We’re delighted to announce an exciting new version of Things 3, designed and built to run natively on Apple Vision Pro. ✨

#AppleVisionPro

By popular demand, we’ve built 2 great widget improvements 🎉

1. Better layout: Looks better & fits more items in some cases.

2. New option to turn off the checkbox: Avoids accidental taps & even more items can fit.

(iOS bug: you have to re-add a widget to see the new option.)

We’re delighted that Things has won the MacStories Selects Award for Best New Feature of 2023! 🎉

@Tonda512 So the reason it updated more reliably in the past was because we implemented a workaround described in this blog post: culturedcode.com/things/blog/20…

@carlesba Or, perhaps when Things does need to open, you’re asking how to sidestep the alert that says that Things must open? In that case, you can try using the system’s URL actions like so:

@carlesba Do you mean that you want it to run in the background without having to open Things? If so, the Run Things URL action should do this:

@mattcassinelli Happy to say that this is not actually correct 🥳 It will be possible to consolidate multiple apps to a single set of actions. Watch “Meet Shortcuts for macOS” from 24 min (Mac/iOS apps with diff bundle IDs will do it this way; works for separate iOS apps, too; even paid updates)

@chris__cote @achtungbass @gueorgui @OmniFocus @TerranceCollins Sorry, the pic didn’t send:

@jcrrn_ We did update the icon to fit better, but thanks for letting us know you’d like more changes. Interesting to note that some of Apple’s apps don’t seem to follow those guidelines:

Things is ready for macOS Big Sur ✨ New Widgets, Rich Notifications, and support for Apple Silicon Macs → culturedcode.com/things/blog/

@tedsvo_tech There are different window UI styles. Since Things doesn't have typical toolbar, we opted for this style, which seems less common. Here's Xcode:

@mikeerickson Half the time I see nothing at all in the share sheet 🤔

We love the new Widgets, and hope you will too! Check out Things 3.13 → culturedcode.com/things/blog/

@echolock Try changing this setting:

@bdauton I'm afraid not. But while the French keyboard doesn't have the exact same keys, you could try the button that maps to the same location as ] on the US keyboard (might be the € key?) – that might have the same effect.

Things now fully supports the iPad’s new cursor. Connect a Magic Keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, and take it for a spin! → culturedcode.com/things/blog/
