Cultured Code has released Things 3.1 bringing numerous improvements and support for repeating To-Dos.

Meet the all-new Things! A complete rethinking of the original, award-winning task manager – with a perfect balance between simplicity and power, incredible new features, delightful interactions, and a timeless new design.



HOW THINGS WORKS
1. Collect Your Thoughts
Get things off your mind quickly with Things’ action extension – it lets you create to-dos from other apps. Or just talk to Siri on any device (“Remind me to...”) and import from Reminders.

2. Get Organized
Create a project for each of your goals, then add the steps to reach them. For clarity, add structure with headings. Then group your projects by areas of responsibility, such as “Family”, “Work”, or “Health”. Review these regularly to stay on top of things.

3. Plan Your Time
See your calendar events alongside your to-dos and plan your time effectively. Create repeating to-dos for things you do every few days, weeks, or months – Things will remind you on the right day.

4. Make the Most of Your Day
Every morning, grab a coffee and prepare your list for “Today”: review previously planned to-dos and make quick decisions on what to tackle. Pick some more steps from your projects and then get going. The Today list is the only place you’ll need to look for the rest of the day.

5. Customize Your Workflow
Use tags to categorize your to-dos or add context. For example, tag places like “Office” or “Home”, or tag all your “Errands”, or everything you’re working on with “Kate”. You can easily find everything you’ve tagged via filtering or search.



WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION:
• Added support for repeating to-dos inside projects.
• Upgraded the sync schema to support repeating to-dos inside projects. PLEASE NOTE: All devices must be upgraded to the latest version to continue syncing.
• We now use the official iOS app review prompt.
• Some improvements for the Natural Language Date Parser (including support for Japanese).
• Added a new warning that items will be deleted from Reminders when importing from Reminders for the first time.
• Added a notification for users running the iPhone app on their iPad.
• Tweaked the onboarding video for new installs.
• Tweaked the database migration logic.
• Fixed a crash that could be caused by projects with no titles.
• Fixed some glitches related to dragging checklist items.
• Fixed some glitches with right-to-left languages (we now force left-to-right in those cases, which isn’t ideal, but better than the previous experience).
• Fixed an issue where the list tools menu (top right) could extend offscreen for some languages where labels didn’t fit.
• Fixed an issue with the deadline text shown next to repeating to-do templates in the Upcoming list, and when sharing.
• Fixed an issue that could prevent the configured reoccurrence rule from being applied to a project when making it repeat.
• Fixed an issue that caused overlapping text in the Reminders import header.
• Fixed a bug where to-dos could disappear when moving them under a heading in a repeating project.
• Fixed a potential crash in the Wunderlist importer.
• Localization improvements.

You can purchase Things 3 from the App Store for $9.99.
