The all-new Things. Your to-do list for Mac & iOS.‎Things 3 ב-App Store



 

In iOS 11, Things is directly integrated with Siri. With Things 3. You can speak naturally when using Things, making requests in two general categories: creating tasks and viewing lists. You can also view any list. Simply refer to your projects or areas by name or part of their name. Our second feature for iOS 11 is drag and drop for iPad. It allows you to drop content into Things from other apps — either as new to-dos, or into the notes of existing to-dos.

For example, you might want to link to emails you need to get back to later. Simply drag the email with your finger — from Mail into Things — and let go. The new to-do will include a link to the email so you can easily open it later:. To add something to an existing to-do, simply open the to-do first and then drop the dragged content into its notes. For example, you might want to add a series of links while researching something:. Finally, Things 3. In the past, if you created a link to another app, such as Ulysses, you would see a string of text like this:.

But in 3. Like to-dos, there are almost always too many potential projects for you to work on at any given time. An Area is for grouping all of your projects and to-dos that support an ongoing ambition.

Remember to keep an eye on your savings for the future with a Money area. Encourage yourself to care for your body and mind by maintaining a Health area. Tame a busy class schedule with a School area. Work toward new professional heights with a Career area. When you only want to see related projects and to-dos, your areas are a great place to narrow your focus.

Take a good, hard look at all of them every now and then. If you plan to do it today, just tap the animation that appears and the to-do will hop over to your Today list instead. You can use Siri to create new to-dos by speaking. Simply press and hold the Digital Crown on the side of your watch and say something like:. This setting will be applied to new to-dos created inside the watch app itself, or when using the Add complication.

Things provides several watch face complications that show you information about your to-dos at a glance. Complications are also useful because you can quickly tap them to open the app. Your goal each day is to finish that list, which closes the ring. Title complications show the title of your next 1 or 3 to-dos, so you can see what you need to do next.

Each action has several parameters. To learn what each parameter in a Things action does, check out our full technical documentation. Find it here. If you want to take it further and create a project with headings or to-dos with checklists, the JSON documentation will help you set this up. Any to-dos you create this way will only be synced to other devices, or appear in widgets, after you have launched the main app. We hope that Apple will address this problem in subsequent updates of the Operating Systems.

Using Shortcuts App with Things.
