AI task manager for Apple devices
It organizes personal tasks on macOS, iOS, and watchOS, using AI to turn natural‑language input into structured to‑do items. The AI parser extracts due dates, tags, and project names from sentences like “Prepare quarterly report next Friday @Work”. Features include a hierarchical project view, tag‑based filtering, calendar sync with Apple Calendar, Siri voice entry, and a Focus mode that hides completed items. Quick Entry lets users add tasks from the menu bar, while recurring tasks and reminders automate daily routine work through automation. Knowledge workers, freelancers, and project managers use it to capture ideas instantly and keep daily plans visible. AI‑driven suggestions propose optimal due dates based on past completion patterns, and the Daily Review surface overdue items for quick rescheduling. All data syncs via iCloud, providing seamless access on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, even offline. Compared with Todoist and OmniFocus, Things offers tighter macOS integration and a cleaner UI, though it lacks built‑in collaboration. Pricing is a paid subscription only, currently $5 per month after a 14‑day trial, which includes all platform updates. Limitations include the absence of multi‑user sharing, no native Windows or Android clients, and restricted export formats that require manual CSV conversion. The AI parser can misinterpret ambiguous phrasing, requiring occasional manual correction. Because it relies on iCloud, users in restricted network environments may experience sync delays. Overall, it delivers a polished personal task manager for Apple ecosystems, but teams needing shared workspaces should consider alternatives.
