Help cure diabetes, win great Mac software

by Mike Schramm (Sep 1st, 2009)

Developer Jim Whimpey is riding a bike to cure diabetes, and he's asking for your help (and promising a chance at some great Mac software). For every $10 you donate to his upcoming ride in southern Australia, he'll throw your name in a raffle to win one of two big Mac software bundles, both worth ...

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 ...

Things 1.1/Things Touch 1.3.5: Area Sync

by Brett Terpstra (May 11th, 2009)

Things Touch 1.3.5 has been released along with Things 1.1 and, among a heap of bug fixes and UI improvements, you'll find a new feature for syncing Areas of Responsibility from your Mac to your iPhone (it's not yet possible to create Areas in Things Touch). The feature requires Things 1.1 on the ...

Win a copy of Things for Mac and iPhone

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Feb 6th, 2009)

We've covered Things for Mac and the iPhone version before. Things is a slick task management tool with a ton of features, clean layout and powerful organization capabilities. Adding the iPhone version (works on the touch, of course) means you can take your tasks with you -- and sync wirelessly ...

Macworld Expo: Big things for Things

by Michael Rose (Jan 13th, 2009)

It was a heck of a coming-out party for Cultured Code's Things, the task organizer and GTD platform for Mac and iPhone. With a passel of awards for the product (including a Macworld Best in Show) and a shipping 1.0 version of the desktop app, the CC gang had plenty to celebrate. I stopped by the ...

Things 1.0rc now available

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Dec 29th, 2008)

Cultured Code has issued the 1.0 release candidate for Things, its popular GTD application, a little more than a week ahead of its official launch on January 6. Things 1.0rc has a huge list of changes including new icons, the ability to reorder to-dos in the Today list across project and area ...

Things (finally) adds global search

by Brett Terpstra (Nov 1st, 2008)

Things, one of the top contenders in the Mac GTD application lineup, has updated to 0.9.6 on their way to a planned 1.0 release at the Macworld Expo. The update includes some interface polish, but the biggest news is the addition of global search. It's been one of the most requested features, and ...

GTD: Real-life experience with Things

by Steven Sande (Sep 7th, 2008)

I'll admit it -- I'm a notorious procrastinator. Give me something to do and no deadline, and I'll put it off until everyone forgets about it. Give me a deadline and I'll wait until the deadline is looming before I'll get things going. This not only happens in my professional life, but my personal ...

Things brings the sync

by Brett Terpstra (May 25th, 2008)

If you love Things, you just got a whole lot more to love. The folks at Cultured Code have finally added iCal sync, and they've done a spectacular job with it (outdoing, in my opinion, OmniFocus' sync). In the preferences, you can sync just your "Today" tasks, or just your "Next Actions," or you can ...

Things gets recurring tasks

by Brett Terpstra (Mar 17th, 2008)

The GTD app scene has been pretty quiet for a while now. Only OmniFocus seems to be regularly showing signs of development at a pace that offers some real hope for the new generation of task managers. But Things has updated to version 0.9, and offers a couple of new features that fill some major ...

Things public preview released

by Brett Terpstra (Jan 4th, 2008)

Things, the up-and-coming darling of the über-productive, due-date-defying, thing-doing GTD crowd has released a public preview today. And I, as your hyphen-wielding blogger, am duly excited. A few of us here at TUAW have been playing with the private alpha of Things for a while. Things ...

Beta Beat: Actiontastic 0.8.2, Quicksilver Integration

by Dan Lurie (Nov 20th, 2006)

Actiontastic, one of the contenders to be the go-to application for Mac using GTD-ers, has just been updated to version 0.8.2, and brings with it some spiffy upgrades including interface tweaks, a complete back-end database re-coding, and various bug fixes. But obviously those things alone don't ...

50 Fun Things To Do With Your iPod

by David Chartier (Jan 8th, 2006)

Ok, so the list only hits 44, but still, who couldn't use a few more things to do with their little white gadget? I mean, only playing music on an iPod is so... 2001. Anyway, kottke.org has put together quite the creative list of *other* things you can do with your iPod. Notable alternatives include ...
