If you’d like to try Things before you buy it, you can install a trial on your Mac.
Mac
To try Things on your Mac, download the app via the button below. To use it, your Mac must run at least macOS 10.15.
We recommend that you move the app from your /Downloads folder to the /Applications folder (macOS might cause issues otherwise).
- Use the trial for 15 days from your first launch.
- Access all features without limitations.
- Purchase the full version via a link in the trial, and keep your existing to-dos.
- If you choose not to continue using Things, simply delete the app—no auto-renewals or hidden fees.
iPad & iPhone
We can’t provide trials for iPad or iPhone because this option is only available to apps with in-app purchases (IAPs) or subscriptions. Things, however, is a one-time up-front purchase at the time of download.
While each app is tailored to its device, their features are nearly identical. Trying the Mac app provides a good sense of the mobile versions.
The most notable differences between the Mac and mobile apps are:
- The iPhone app does not support keyboard shortcuts.
- The Mac’s Quick Entry (with Autofill) uses AppleScript, unavailable on mobile, but you can still send to-dos to Things on iPhone and iPad in other ways.
- Siri integration on iPhone and iPad is deeper than on the Mac, where Apple hasn’t opened it up to work with 3rd party apps yet.
- The mobile apps offer great gesture support to access useful features.
Vision
We can’t provide a trial for Vision because this option is only available to apps with in-app purchases (IAPs) or subscriptions. Things, however, is a one-time up-front purchase at the time of download.
While each app is tailored to its device, their features are nearly identical. Trying the Mac app provides a good sense of the mobile versions; if you own the iPad app, you’ll find the Vision app very similar.

FAQ
- The trial says it’s expired but I’ve never used it.
- You installed and launched the trial in the past. Not to worry, though. Just ask our support team for a trial extension.
- Can I test sync with the trial?
- Sure! There are no limitations during the trial period. Here’s how to set up sync.
- What happens to my data when the trial expires and goes into “Read-only mode”?
- Whatever you entered before the trial expired is safely stored on your Mac. That data will get picked up when you extend the trial or purchase the full version. Anything that you added or changed after the trial has expired (Read-only mode) will not be saved and sync will be disabled.
- What if I buy the mobile apps to try them. Can I give them back if I dislike them?
- This is up to Apple, who handle all transactions on the App Store. You have to ask Apple for a refund. Learn more.
- I bought the app, but it says my trial has expired.
