GTD with Things and my iPhone

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:41:20 +0100

For months now I’ve been beta testing Things, a task management application built for the Mac. I’ve long been searching for a to-do app that works the way I work, and I’ve tried my fair share along the way. If you’re looking for a task manager and you use a Mac, I cannot emphasis enough my endorsement for this incredible little app.

I’ve had this opinion for a while, long before the incredibly stable and robust point the app is at right now (version 0.9.3). Back before you could drag-and-drop tasks into the sidebar; long before you could “cancel” a task instead of simply delete (do you realise how awesome of a feature this is?!). Pretty much from the moment I opened it up, I knew we had a winner, folks.

So why rave about it now? One word: iPhone. Today I upgraded my iPhone to version 2.0 software, which gave me access to the iPhone apps (WOW). And as I browsed the list of available apps, to my utter shock and amazement, I found Things. Yes, that’s right, the best task management software available has been ported to the iPhone.

I purchased it right away. I even used my UK credit card because my new US one hadn’t been activated, paying £6 instead of $9. I didn’t even check to see if it would synch with my local copy of Things (it doesn’t - yet). Still, none of it mattered. I know first hand that the people at Cultured Code get usability, get simplicity, and get how I work.

And indeed, the Things App is just… awesome. When it synchs with my desktop, I will most likely get up from my chair, in the middle of the office, no matter what the mood, and dance. And I can’t wait.
