At the end of his latest blog post, Cultured Code's Jürgen Schweizer revealed that the company is working on a version of Things for the iPad. The announcement isn't that surprising, especially given that The Omni Group announced at the beginning of February that its software suite, ...

Postbox adds Things and OmniFocus support

by Brett Terpstra (Mar 9th, 2010)

The first time I heard about Postbox, it was a relatively new email client for the Mac. Based on the details in the first announcement and my trial run, I was very intrigued. I recall telling the rest of TUAW that -- if its stated goals were achieved -- it had the potential to take over my Mail.app ...

Mac power tools: charge up your workflow

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Oct 8th, 2009)

iGTD's Bartek Bargiel joins Cultured Code, Things 1.2 hits the streets

by Brett Terpstra (Aug 27th, 2009)

I have very fond memories of iGTD, and of its sole developer, Bartek Bargiel. The much-anticipated iGTD2 never really reached fruition, much to our dismay. There are a good number of people still using iGTD and iGTD2 today, even after development ceased quite some time ago, and I'd wager that ...
