macOS 14 Sonoma is out and Things is ready to go, with three great improvements for your widgets: they’re interactive, on your desktop, and available in two new formats. 🙌

The interactive widgets that recently came to iPhone and iPad are now available on your Mac. This means you can complete to-dos directly in your widgets without having to open Things.

In the past, widgets were confined to your Notification Center. Now you can place them right on your desktop. Extra Large widgets are now also supported and Things provides two: one that can show any list you like, and another that shows your schedule for the coming days.

To add a widget, simply right-click on your desktop, choose Edit Widgets, and search for Things in the gallery. Also note that you can change how the widgets look by going to System Settings → Desktop & Dock → Widgets → Widget Style.

Don’t forget that you need update to macOS 14 Sonoma before you can try the new widgets. We hope you enjoy them!

We’re hiring! There’s a lot of exciting work ahead and we have an open position for a Cloud Platform Engineer. If that sounds like you, or someone you know, please check out our jobs page.

We’ve just released Things 3.19 with a variety of great improvements for your widgets, plus full support for iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and watchOS 10.

---

The first improvement for your widgets is that they’re now interactive. This means you no longer have to open Things to complete a to-do – simply tap its checkbox on your Home Screen and it’s done. ✨

---

There’s also a new feature called StandBy, which shows Things’ widgets while your iPhone is on its side and connected to power. Your widgets are significantly larger here since they’re intended to be viewed from a distance, such as on a kitchen counter or while lying in bed.

---

Widgets have also come to your iPad’s Lock Screen. You can add them to a strip down the left side, or above the clock.

---

We've also added a widget for the new Smart Stack on watchOS 10. It appears when you swipe up on the watch face, showing your next three to-dos.

Finally, Things has been adjusted to complement the new design of watchOS 10, and is now built entirely with Apple’s latest technologies (SwiftUI) – a great foundation for future improvements.

Things 3.19 is available now for iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. Remember to update your OS before you try the new features.

Things 3.18 has just been released with one of our most-requested features: adjustable text size! This means you can now scale Things’ interface to a size that’s right for you. 👀

Whether you want to shrink your text to fit a small iPhone, or jack up the size on a thirty-inch display – Things 3.18 gives you the control. Of course, it’s not only the text that changes size. The app now uses vector graphics for all icons, and we’ve fine-tuned the layout so that everything scales together beautifully.

Change the size on iPhone & iPad

Things now automatically follows your system-wide Dynamic Type setting. This is managed in System Settings → Display & Brightness → Text Size.

We’ve also added an option to override the system setting. To choose a custom size, simply go to Things Settings → Appearance.

Change the size on Mac

The Mac doesn’t have a system-wide Dynamic Type setting, so you’ll need to set a size just for Things. In the menu bar at the top of your screen, go to Things → Settings → General, and drag the slider to find a size that’s right for you.

Things 3.18 is available now for Mac, iPad, and iPhone. We’ve made adjustments to every corner of the interface for this update, so do let us know if you spot anything out of place!

Enjoy. 🙂
