Things 3
A to-do app that plans your day and your projects
The verdict
Buying Things 3 for Mac, iPad and iPhone costs $79.97 once, and syncing between them never costs anything. In return you get a calm to-do app that puts your calendar above the Today list, sets a reminder when you type something like Wed 8pm, and splits big projects into headings. It is built for 1 person's tasks, so if you share lists with a partner or team, Superlist is the better fit.
Get it if
You want a calm to-do list across your Apple devices and would rather pay once than every month.
Skip it if
You only track errands and groceries, and Apple Reminders is free and already on every device.
