Detailed Review
Things is a task manager from Cultured Code GmbH & Co. KG, Dieselstraße 28, 70469 Stuttgart. The Things Cloud terms name this company as the provider of the service, and German law applies for customers with a seat in an EU member state.
The Things homepage describes the app as a way to plan your day, manage projects and work toward goals. Apps exist for Mac, iPhone, Watch, iPad and Vision Pro.
What Things does for a personal task list
Things combines daily planning and project management in one app. The homepage states that Things has won two Apple Design Awards.
Things Cloud syncs tasks between devices, and the privacy policy mentions a Mail to Things feature that turns forwarded emails into tasks.
How Things is priced
Things is sold through the App Store. Cultured Code sets a price in US dollars, and Apple converts it for each country, so the pages we read give no single amount.
The pricing page does not describe a free plan or a subscription.
Things compared with Microsoft To Do
Things offers apps only for Apple platforms. Users who also work on Windows or Android cannot open their list there.
Things names a German legal entity and a German data protection authority, which makes the contract and complaints route clear.
Limitations to Consider
Things runs only on Apple devices, so a Windows or Android machine cannot use it. The pages we read give no price and no hosting location for Things Cloud. Teams that need shared lists should look at Superlist or Nozbe.
Who Should Use Things
Apple users who plan mainly alone and want one app across Mac, iPhone, iPad and Watch.
