Things 1.2.6 - Elegant personal task management. (Demo)

Things is task management solution that helps to organize your tasks in an elegant and intuitive way. Things combines powerful features with simplicity through the use of tags and its intelligent filter bar. A Leopard style source list allows for quick and easy focusing. Together with a beautiful user interface, Things aims at the seemingly impossible: making task management both easy and fun.

Our screencast is a great introduction. Learn from our users why Things is different ? either on i use this or Newsvine.

• The big picture. A Leopard style source list lets you easily focus without ever switching view modes or wrapping your head around filter criteria.
• A magical tag bar automatically appears when needed and adapts to the currently displayed list. It lets you drill down even the longest list of To-Dos. Hierarchical tags? We got you covered!
• Teamwork. Things offers convenient collaboration features. Easily delegate tasks to members of your team. (This is work in progress.)
• No columns! Whether it's multiple tags, dates or notes, To-Do items display their information on an as needed basis. No more space wasted by empty or irrelevant column cells!
• Out of your head, out of your way. A quick entry HUD lets you enter any idea the moment it hits you. Never let the thought of an unfinished business distract you again.
• Yours forever. We won't lock you in. Things will use an open XML file format to store your data. (Not yet activated.)
• Things even supports GTD, so if you're familiar and comfortable with GTD concepts, you'll feel right at home.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 1.2.6:

• Things now monitors whether it is launched from outside the Applications folder, in which case it offers to move itself to the Applications folder.
• Added Quick Entry autofill support for Microsoft Entourage.
• Performance. Things now launches faster in situations where many to-dos are created in or moved to the Today list (e.g. when to-dos are repeated, activate, or become due).
• Performance. Creation of projects is faster for libraries that contain many active projects.
• Performance. Various smaller performance improvements.
• iCal sync. Things now uses a background application to collect changes occurring in systemwide to-dos even when it is not running. This allowed us to complete a workaround for an Apple Mail
• iCal sync issue.
• Localization. Japanese localization fixes.
• Localization. Spanish localization fixes.
• Complete overhaul of French localization including a localized version of the Help Book.
• Removed a German string that inadvertently found its way into the English localization.
• Added acknowledgement for the keyboard shortcut recorder we are using in preferences.
Bug Fixes:
• Previously the search field lost focus when an entered search term was deleted. This is fixed now.
• The action pop-up button (lower-left of main window) now uses more appropriate menu items when a teammate is selected.
• iCal Sync. The mail-link which is automatically added to to-dos created in Apple Mail now has a "Show in Mail" title (instead of the technical URL that had been previously displayed).
• The size of the "File..." sheet is now remembered between launches.
• In some situations Things crashed when emptying Trash. This is fixed now.
• Fixed a problem where certain links from iCal syncing did not work properly.
• Disabling automatic checking for updates now works correctly.

• Fixed an issue with editing due dates and schedule dates using the keyboard.
• Fixed an issue when dragging and dropping e-mail messages to the notes field when using a Chinese environment.
