Things overview

What is Things?

Things by Cultured Code is a task management software designed to help iOS, Mac, and Apple Watch users handle structured content, checklists, calendars, and more. The application enables organizations to set up reminders, manage projects, create and track to-do lists, and add notes on a unified platform. Administrators can use the application to send to-do lists to an inbox using a drag-and-drop interface. Things allows users to include tags, start date, or deadlines in tasks and use headings functionality to create categories or milestones. Using the built-in quick find feature, employees can search the name of a project, checklists, or tags in real-time. Things enables administrators to synchronize data with Apple Calendar to view events or to-do lists from various third-party applications such as Google Calendar, Microsoft Exchange, and Outlook. Stakeholders can utilize the areas module to create dedicated sections for school, health, family, or work to store related projects and to-dos lists in a centralized repository.
