Things by Cultured Code

Things is a beautifully designed task management application for the Mac that is largely based on the concepts in Getting Things Done, or GTD. The premise of GTD is to capture anything that’s on your mind that is unresolved, and to organize it in a system that you know you’ll refer back to frequently.

Things makes implementing GTD simple and fun. With an extremely easy to use interface, it allows you to instantly capture any outstanding to-dos on your Mac or iPhone. You can easily organize and view your tasks using the common GTD methods (by project, context, level of effort, etc.) However, the system is flexible enough for non-GTD folks to take advantage as well.

The real strength of the application is its beauty – it feels better than most other task management applications. You actually enjoy using it because of the interface, and that makes it easier to get in the habit of collecting everything. Developing the “collection habit” is one of the primary ways GTD implementors get tripped up – Things helps form that habit much more easily.
