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. 🙂

Things gains automation superpowers today, with a huge update for Apple Shortcuts. We’ve prepared a gallery with some great shortcuts for you to try out, and you can also build your own.

Try a shortcut from our gallery

A “shortcut” is a quick way to perform a sequence of actions in your apps with just a tap. You can create and manage shortcuts in the Shortcuts app on your Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

Today’s update greatly increases the number of actions that Things can perform, and we’ve prepared some ready-made shortcuts to show you what’s possible. Simply visit our gallery, add one to your own device, then run it to see what it does.

Open Shortcuts Gallery

This feature requires Things 3.17 and macOS 13 Ventura, iPadOS 16, or iOS 16.

Build your own

If you’re technically inclined, you can also build your own shortcuts. There are nine entirely new actions for you to explore. They let you create full-blown projects with headings and to-dos, query your database, edit items, duplicate them, and much more. It’s a massive upgrade if you love automation.

The best way to get started is to download a few shortcuts from our gallery and modify them to suit your own needs. Also, be sure to check out our technical documentation for a deep dive on how it all works.

Have fun! 🤖
