Is this app share-able with other remote team members

[@PeterAkkies]

No, unfortunately not@@ChrisJones-ps6vw

[@esaorleans]

Great video, as always. I love Things 3 on my iPhone and iPad. I hope Cultured Code doesn't move to a subscription model on Things 4.

[@RetaliationOG]

I like how you’ve created areas for each piece of your life! Definitely will be taking notes from how you structured things :)

[@PatrickKlijzing]

I've been sticking Post-It notes to my MacBook Pro for my To-Do's, maybe it's time for me to enter the 21st century.

[@joturner2376]

I am always trying out apps…lots can be a waste of time. I got so over it I have been just sticking to recording everything on Notes. Great for keeping any info especially with it’s great search ability. However it is frustrating me with to do lists. So, very pleased to see this review….am inspired to have another go. Thanks.

[@mojochopper]

I have things3 for iPad and for iPhone. I had them for a while and haven’t gotten far with them before discovering your videos. So far you have the most useful tutorials I’ve seen for things 3 and they have been a big help. I also learned a lot from your apple notes tutorials. I’m currently taking a look at your courses to determine which are most suitable as a follow up.

[@rossbosss]

After trying all of the popular task managers, I’ve settled on Things 3 for iPhone and your videos have been very helpful! The only things I wish Things offered were: 1) option to sort lists alphabetically 2) option to star items to make them a top priority or list as urgent 3) ability to view tags on iPhone w/o clicking on item (or even to assign various tag colors) but it still works better for me than other app . I’d love to try Things 3 on my Mac sometime since the larger view would make it much easier to organize and plan. Thanks! -A fellow vegan

[@HirakoCaptain]

Great video Peter! I always find myself juggling between Things & Todoist. My work device is a Mac, which is fine for my iPhone & iPad but my personal device is a Windows. So I often use Todoist on Windows or web. Do you ever find yourself missing a web version? Again, great video 🎉

[@samueltremblay275]

Yes there is no web version of Things 3 but another thing missing is the fact that Things 3 is registered by Apple ID so if you have both a personal and work Mac computers, this doesn't mean it will be easy because you will have a hard time to fill data from those different areas. I mean, your work computer will probably have a work Apple ID so you will not be able to add tasks from your personal life from that computer. Using Todoist, you can switch using Log Out, Log In at least.

[@DrOcampo]

Love the simplicity of the app to make sure everything gets done. ❤

[@LucidLiquidity]

I don't think anyone could've made a more presentable version of this, and vote for it be used as their official overview lol. This is the first video I watched in my attempt to research some to-do apps - and it'll be the last one, partially because of your presenting skills, but I just love the slightly whimsical design with the 'Someday' and 'Anytime' features. It seems quite compatible with my brain's way of thinking about... things lol. 😂 The widget feature is also brilliant for encouraging the planting of the "seed of planning" for those more spur-of-the-moment ideas you might otherwise not deem significant enough to actually add to your agenda. This is chef's kiss content, gg peter! 🙌

[@PeterAkkies]

Wow, thanks so much for the amazingly kind words!

[@Torretxx]

I am using things for years now. It’s my „life organizer“ for really everything. But I am always looking out how others use it. That’s how I found your KZbin account. I’ll always try to make my daily routine better.

[@sewsweetbear4761]

I've been using Omni Focus since it's inception. The thought of purchasing another task management app just to try it seems insane. The first video of yours I saw was about OmniFocus and not putting a date on something that doesn't really need a date and then there was a video about the 'next' tag. Your suggestions have really helped. So now your telling us that Things 3 is the be all end all - well - I'd like to try it, but I've been hesitating because of the cost.

[@tomdillinger4263]

I have been using Pocket Informant for about 7 years, I just switched to Things and it’s much better. I’ve come to the realisation that a more complicated task manager takes away from the tasks themselves, I would spend too long managing my tasks rather than actually doing them.

[@podnuh]

Ive used OmniFocus for many years and have learned a lot of cool tips from these videos. I’m interested in Things because OmniFocus 3 just looks dated and there doesn’t seem to be any projected release dates for OmniFocus 4. The main reason I’m hesitant is because I’m afraid I’ll miss transferring some important future task, recurring task or future deadline that I have in OmniFocus when moving to Things.

[@nukesean]

Things has a free trial. I’ve used both, and Things is honestly garbage compared to omnifocus. They’re not even in the same ballpark if you actually need more than just a barebones task manager. Things does look better, but that’s about it.

[@iakona23]

Hey, thank you for the video. I was going to get a task management app, but because I didn’t write it down I forgot to do it!!!

[@TheBright27]

I think i have tried many to-do apps, and Things 3 seems to be the one that suits me the most. I like the quick capture and how tasks are organise. If they add file attachments it would be perfect.

[@NiceGuyMikey]

Very interesting. I’ve been using OF since the first edition, but I might give Things 3 a try after watching this video.

[@ChanakyaSharma]

Your channel has the best Things 3 tutorials I've ever seen. I've seen the videos, and I'm completely hooked on thing 3.

[@Jivolt]

Things 3 only lacks two features: 1) Ability to add photo/attachment to tasks. 2) location reminders. It’s still my favorite task manager app but frustrating that those two features are missing.

[@Abdullah-zl9ub]

Plus no calendar view and expensive pricing

[@accentontheoff]

Just found out that the Areas section shows Someday tasks that are a part of that specific Area. Had no idea. This is very useful, thanks. How do I enable it, if I may so wonder.

[@nfgrodrigues]

I’ve been learning a lot about productivity from your videos. I joined the Apple ecosystem recently and the tips you share have a tremendous value to me. May your channel continue to grow so that you can reach a lot more people that could benefit from your teachings and experience.

[@haacker0man]

Love the simplicity of the app to make sure everything gets done.

[@gerantonio010]

Peter your tips are life savers. You teach about how manage your time based in your experience and that, that is awesome and unique

[@ricardomuntanerbibiloni7355]

I think that things 3 is the best productivity application I only need the version for Mac 😊 thanks for your time, you’re a good instructor for productivity

[@rix7204]

Been useing Things for years!! Hands down the best ❤

[@olivierbolte6569]

I'm a longtime Things 3 user and I love it...but I cama across Sunsama yesterday...it looks pretty good! Any thoughts about it?

[@nehajain1405]

But it doesn’t have feature to add pictures or add voice note

[@TyroneBest]

Things 3 is a great tool, with some room for improvement. I started using this daily now and its working very well for me. your class on Things 3 is great and thanks.

[@alexdewitte235]

Question things 3 is there any workaround to get outlook and todo integrated?

[@xultrac]

When you open the app you want to immediately see the context, not your responsibilities, life goals etc. That's why I think the current layout of Things with areas is always visible and context is hidden (somewhere in tags...) is bad for everyday productivity.

[@StevansOfficial]

Hey Peter, are you still giving away coupons for Things 3? I am really interested in the app..;)

[@nschneider45]

Hi, thanks for the very clear explanations. I am wondering if you have already a video comparing things 3 with Apple reminders? Why should I suscribe to things if I already have reminders..

[@chris.flores]

I solely use this on iPhone for now but really hoping to try out the real estate on my Macbook Pro! Thanks for all you do Peter!

[@sandra_runners-dog]

Hello Peter. I've been using Things for my personal to-dos for a while now. That also works great and I notice how my head is relieved and I am more productive. Unfortunately, I have a Windows pc in the office and cannot use Things there. Of course I could take my iPad to the office, but I don't want to mix my personal and professional to-dos. That would rob me privately of the overview. What can I do? Another app like ToDoist is harder for me to use.

[@TheZemackdaddy]

I have a big issue with Things. Undo almost never works reliably. I would like to think I'm not the only person that makes mistakes, but whether I am on the Mac or on my iPhone, or my iPad, sometimes even the very last thing I did like delete a task won't Undo. Or move to another project. It frustrates me and makes me feel like I cannot trust it. But it's usability above most other apps, makes it fantastic. I wish you could save something like "perspective" like OmniFocus has but this can definitely be handled with Shortcuts for the most part. At least I tell myself that until I find something complicated I can't do and forget that I should just be doing things not fiddling or troubleshooting why an OmniFocus perspective is not working correctly.

[@traceysmith311]

I am interested in trying Things 3 but not sure which version to buy. I sometimes manage apps on my iPhone but also on my iPad or my iPad mini. I see that there are apps specifically for each...do I need to buy BOTH apps? I want something that's a little more advanced than apple reminders but is based in the apple ecosystem and will allow me to manage my tasks and projects from whatever device I am on. Any suggestions?

[@barkulyus]

One of the best productivity channels in my opinion. It has refined information and I benefited a lot. Thanks... 🙏🏻

[@KeyzDesignzLLC]

Thank you for hosting this giveaway! I always find your videos super helpful. I have been using Things 3 on my iPhone and iPad. I would love to have it on my iMac as well.

[@aidilrazak]

Hi Peter, as always, great video. Im having this issue with Today, where Im having difficulty setting what task should I add to Today. If add too much from projects and areas, it can get overwhelming, if I want to select 10 tasks for example, I dont know which task to choose. Is there a formula that you use or a general rule that you follow?

[@PeterAkkies]

Aidil, you are one of the winners! Congrats! 😃 Please email me at [e-mail] for instructions for receiving your 100%-off coupon for Things on the Mac App Store. And please do so in the next three days because your coupon code expires at some point and I cannot regenerate it. (Note: I am not on Telegram. Ignore scammers who ask you to contact “me” on Telegram.) As for your question: I recommend starting with a clean slate most days. Use the Anytime view to pick some tasks to get started with-assign them to Today. If you complete them before the end of the day, just go back to Anytime and pick some more.

[@aidilrazak]

@@PeterAkkies Hi Peter. Psst, the code is 29megTU4

[@berntmansson]

Discovered your Channel before you saw the light with Things 3 (back in the OmniFocus days) - I’ve heard so much good about Things 3 - it would be great to be able to see the light together with you.

[@gamesetwynn6107]

Good video! Have been looking hard for something to help organize my life and the app is really helpful so far. Was a little disappointed after I bought the app not realizing I’d have to pay $50 for the Mac version to sync them up, so getting a code would be awedome

[@johnharrington2438]

Great video, and very interesting, informative channel. I’ve loved Things for years, and haven’t come close to knowing all the things you’ve shown. Thank you. Strongly considering your course.

[@Wi5edude]

Clear, concise AND thorough info, with clean visuals: much appreciated!

[@halcyonavocado]

Been subscribed for quite a while already! After not having been able to make OmniFocus work consistently, even after trying a huge amount of different setups over a number of years, I’d love to try Things out instead. I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time but the cost have always been prohibitive. Thanks for the great content!

[@peterburke988]

Nice overview video. I'm looking for an app to help with task management and your explanations are very clear and straightforward.

[@KeenTechZ]

Thank you so much this great overview. Your things 3 setup has always been super inspiring. keep making incredible videos

[@d_a_r_i_o]

Bravo Peter 🎉

[@ZZZZ-rr5yx]

isn't this almost the same as Apple reminder?

[@roccogrego]

Great all round planning tool. the breakdowns can be infinite and very detailed if you are familiar with the subject. Also it can have links etc. I am very excited with this app and have it through my apple devices

[@gavindavies4231]

Great Video about Things 3 not used it but looks awesome and your enthusiasm for the product is fantastic

[@carlosrebolledoaguirre4682]

Después de ver varios videos no me queda claro si sugieres Omnifocus 3 o Things 3? Para usuarios con pocos proyectos, Things sería la herramienta. Pero, para un autónomo que tiene muchos proyectos ¿Cuál sería la mejor elección si siguen un sistema GTD?

[@paddykulkarni11]

Hey great video. I am just wondering how to migrate from OmniFocus to Things 3? Can anyone help?

[@andresochoa7417]

Hi Peter, love the video! can you please elaborate on how you use your project naming convention w/ the numbers? Could be my OCD wanting to have some way to identify the area as well as the project from the Today view. Also, Do you strictly use numbers to track your KZbin projects?

[@PeterAkkies]

Hey Andres. I only use numbers for my KZbin videos. (I show how I organize my KZbin videos in my latest video on my channel, about tracking projects with Notion.) Other than that, no numbering.

[@baluza5216]

The upfront cost of Things 3 stops me from making the purchase and the consequent commitment, so this giveaway comes at the perfect time 😄

[@petermurphy9380]

Your videos help me revisit Things and find better ways to use this software.

Hello there, Peter! I think the widget is definitely an useful function as I have no choice but be confronted with it as soon as I get on my phone.

[@japeen]

I use Things 3 on iPhone and iPad. Would love to use on Mac if I win this

[@hariharan16]

Been watching you things 3 videos and actually tempted to switch but price is one constraint. Thanks for the giveaway. Will be good if I get one but happy who ever does.😊

[@aemadden]

Love this video! Very informative. Thank you for all the information you share. I appreciate the channel.

[@Erika-qp1zd]

I’ve subscribed for years and your videos have always been some of the best on things like Things! Thanks for the content and the contest! (See what I did there? 😜) I used the trial of Things 3 back towards the end of my PhD (before the big C got in the way) and it really helped get things in order. It was also really helpful for job searching as I was able to use quick capture to save job ads to a “project” and add a deadline. Highly recommend and I’d love to have a proper copy to incorporate into daily life. I also still need to finish that pesky PhD thesis… 😬

[@cAzzy1983]

I am currently ob onnifocus and watching your videos i often think wether i shall switch or at least give things3 a deep look. Given that this giveaway comes as a good chance to try my luck. Keep up doing what you love. Greetings from Berlin

Would be great if the mac version wasnt so damn expensive, i got the mobile version and its great for me 👍

[@borisseefeldt7696]

Hi Peter, I did your Things 3 course after switching from Todoist. I use Things 3 on iPhone and iPad, but am still debating whether to buy Things 3 for Mac as well. So this would take care of the decision for me🙂

[@SeyPras.]

I think you can request a 14-day trial with them for mac and decide from there if you would like to purchase the mac app. 👍

[@notreallyasloth]

My mac things trial is running out :)

[@faithwan6516]

Can things 3 incorporate my Google calendar?

[@PeterAkkies]

Yes, it can show events from your Google calendar inside Things. Any calendar that can show in your device’s native Calendar app can also show inside Things.

[@mikloskoppan5152]

Awesome video, helps people understand why to pick things 3 as a task manager for every day life. Many thanks!

[@adinkracom]

[@Dovales1]

Things is awesome! Looking forward to version 4!

[@chantalpuravida8715]

My office uses To Do from Microsoft. Can I merge?

[@PeterAkkies]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by merging, but you cannot synchronize tasks so they appear the same in both Microsoft To Do and in one of these other apps, no, if that's what you mean.

[@LucanWilliams]

Another great vid, Peter! 👏

[@Deputy593]

Been a subscriber for a while, Peter. I appreciate your presentation style! Here’s hoping I’m one of the lucky winners! I’ve been wanting to leave Todoist for some time and Things 3 is the house I’m moving into!

[@raampen]

Can I ask what is making you move to Things from Todoist? I'm a Todoist user myself, and I find a few things lacking, but I'm not sure Things 3 is a better option so far. Thanks!

[@jennamichaels]

I've used Things 3 for iOS for I don't know how many years (over 5?), and I love how the app can easily evolve with me through different phases of my life. I've always use Things for productivity, but now I'm starting to track my exercise and health in Things as well. I like to "share" my Apple Fitness workouts to Things, and schedule my workouts so I don't have to pick one before beginning a workout--that removes some friction and makes exercising so much easier. I also love being able to see my progress with workouts in the Logbook and duplicate workouts I enjoyed to do in the future. Things was also the first app i downloaded when i purchased an iPad about 2 years ago, and I love how easy it is to use alongside my laptop as I'm working! I always knew there was Things for macOS, and now that I'm using my laptop more these days, I think it'd be a worthwhile investment. Thank you for all of your videos on Things 3 (and Notes), Peter. I learn something new with every video you release!
