Anyone tried Things.app from Cultured Code?

Submitted by joshuakaufman on December 15, 2007 - 9:19pm.

I’ve been using OmniFocus for a few weeks now and enjoying it, but ever since I noticed Things.app from Cultured Code I’ve been wanting to try it out. Has anyone tried it yet? Thoughts? How does it compare to OmniFocus?

Getting back to the work

Submitted by teapotmonk on December 25, 2007 - 2:31pm.

I have to agree with the previous two posts. As an alpha tester of Omnifocus for the last 2 months Ive grown sadly distant from a program that promised so much. To be fair, it delivers a lot of what it promised, but the implementation leaves little to inspire. And i need inspiration, not simply rules or guidelines. Within 24 hours of getting hold of Things, I’ve switched over my tasks and almost immediately - and unexpectedly - got back to my work as opposed to continuing to configure the program.

Perhaps after 2 months of of Things I´ll be surfing the highway in search of the next golden chalice, but I don’t know, what I’ve come to realise is that I want a program that doesn’t need a manual, does what I want it to, and then gets outs of the way. It sort of digitally withers away until next needed. And that’s a great relief after constantly partnering up the old contenders of iGTD, Inbox etc. Anyway, back to work.
