Things is a task management solution that helps to organize your tasks in an elegant and intuitive way. Things combines powerful features with simplicity through the use of tags and its intelligent filter bar.
Features:
Collect Your Thoughts - Get things off your mind quickly: no matter what app you’re in, a keyboard shortcut instantly reveals Quick Entry. Type your thoughts and save them to the Inbox. Or just talk to Siri on any device ("Remind me to...") and import from Reminders.
Get Organized - Create a project for each of your goals, then add the steps to reach them. For clarity, add structure with headings. Then group your projects by areas of responsibility, such as "Family", "Work", or "Health". Review these regularly to stay on top of things.
Plan Your Time - See your calendar events alongside your to-dos and plan your time effectively. Create repeating to-dos for things you do every few days, weeks, or months - Things will remind you on the right day.
Make the Most of Your Day - Every morning, grab a coffee and prepare your list for "Today": review previously planned to-dos and make quick decisions on what to tackle. Pick some more steps from your projects and then get going. The Today list is the only place you’ll need to look for the rest of the day.
Customize Your Workflow - Use tags to categorize your to-dos or add context. For example, tag places like "Office" or "Home", or tag all your "Errands", or everything you’re working on with "Kate". You can easily find everything you’ve tagged via filtering or search.
What's new in version 3.23.4
Restored support for using the Cut command on selected checklist items.
Restored the Cmd+Delete shortcut for deleting the checklist item you’re editing.
Restored the “Open in New Windows” option when right-clicking multiple projects at once.
Improved handling of the Tab and Escape keys when typing with international input methods.
Fixed a bug where pasting a line that contained only a Markdown checkbox into a checklist created an item titled “- [ ]” instead of an empty row.
Fixed a bug where a to-do title could be cut off if it had many tags.
Fixed a crash that could occur when changing the tag filter while editing a to-do.
THINGS 3.23
Repeating to-dos just got far more flexible, with two highly requested improvements: You can now complete them early, and easily reschedule them when plans change! Plus many more refinements throughout.
COMPLETE REPEATING TO-DOS EARLY
Sometimes you’re ahead of schedule and want to tick something off early. Now you can! A repeating to-do now shows a normal checkbox – just like any other to-do – so you can complete it as soon as it’s done.
RESCHEDULE WITH EASE
Repeating to-dos can now be rescheduled, which makes it easy to adapt when plans change. Simply bump it to a new date. If it repeats on a fixed schedule, Things will ask whether you want to make a one-time exception, or update the rule going forward. If it repeats after completion, it simply moves to the new date.
MORE REFINEMENTS
We’ve made a number of other refinements to repeating to-dos:
• The repeating to-do setup dialog has received a visual refresh, and lets you more easily pick the next recurrence date.
• A copy of a repeating to-do now shows a little gray repeat icon to distinguish it from regular to-dos.
• If you want to start working on a repeating project early, you now can! As soon as you start editing its to-dos, Things will offer to create the next copy of the project ahead of time.
• You can manually create the next copy of a repeating to-do ahead of time by right-clicking it and choosing Repeat > Create Next Copy.
• You can now pause, resume, and stop multiple repeating to-dos at once.
• More bug fixes and improvements – see our website for the full release notes.

Last but not least, this update includes a big change under the hood that we’ve been working on for some time: the display and editing of to-dos – both inside lists and when you expand them – is now driven by the same code on Mac and iOS.

Things now requires macOS 13.3 or later.
From what I understand, they changed the database format once again in v3.13.1 without any option to import your former database! :-o At least, when they switched from v2 to v3 there has been this feature. I've searched every possible support page, no way! You can import from a number of other software but not their own! Am I missing something?
Although the price is stiff, it looks like it'll help me to organize my day a lot. For now, I am satisfied with its work, the interface might be better, but it is not a selling point for me.
Mac-only app in this day and age of interoperability? How's that business model work out for you when Android is over 50% of the phone market.
Hard pass.
