FAQ

Can I connect Things to Google, Exchange, Outlook,…
No. Things can only communicate with Apple Calendar. To view your 3rd party calendar data in Things, just sync it to Apple’s app first.
Will Things sync my calendar data to other devices?
No. Things only mirrors the calendar events from Apple Calendar on the device itself. We don’t sync your calendar data, we only display it locally. That’s why you have to enable calendar integration on each device separately.
Can I send to-dos from Things to the calendar?
No, you can’t send to-dos from Things to Apple Calendar. If you want to block time for a task, though, try our Apple Shortcut.
Can I see events in Things’ widget?
It’s not possible to see events from Apple Calendar in the Things widget. We would love to build this feature, but due to technical limitations we can’t ensure that the calendar events in the widgets are up to date.
