I’ve been on the lookout for a ToDo list app to manage my daily life for a very long time. I tried some of the most common apps such as ToDoist and Any.do and the default apps such as Reminders. I even tried Notion. But none of these stood out to me. Don’t get me wrong these are well-built apps but they were just not working for me and my needs.

That’s until I discovered Things 3. Things 3 is an app I never thought about trying out due to its upfront cost, I guess I was just worried that I won’t like it, so the upfront cost put me off. But then I discovered Cristopher Lawley from the Untitled Site on . In one of his videos , Christopher presented his Things 3 setup and it turned out that that’s just the app I was looking for! It was clean and tidy and had a lot of useful features.

✅ Pros

• Phenomenal Design
• Easy to use
• Great for personal task management
• Drag and Drop

❌ Cons

• Can become expensive
• You have to pay separately for different platforms e.g. Mac, iPad and iPhone apps are all separate
• Only compatible with Apple devices
