Previously, I had written about my preference for Due as my reminder app.

When it comes to task management, Things is my go-to app. I love native apps, especially if they’re fast - both literally and with well-designed flows which take fewer steps. Things ticks all these boxes. That it sports a timeless look with subtle animations is a bonus.

One common complaint is read about Cultured Code, maker of Things, is that they are slow to add features. I couldn’t care less. It has everything I need, and I’d be happy if they just keep maintaining it.

To be honest, there have been periods when my usage of a Things has fallen off. It’s not because of the app, but because of how messy my schedule had become that I wouldn’t have time to use the app. But I always keep coming back to it since I’d inevitably miss something important eventually. I have learnt that the best thing I could do in such situations is to double down on using the app.

So, yeah, I am glad that there is Things. It has saved my day innumerable times at work.
