About Things
Things is a proprietary task manager for Apple devices, made by Cultured Code. It organizes to-dos into areas of responsibility and projects, and its Today view gives a clear, focused list of what to work on each day.
Things runs as native apps on the user's own devices and is not a self-hosted server product. It is relevant to Mac and iPhone users comparing personal task managers such as OmniFocus and TickTick; see the vendor's site for current platforms, features and pricing.
