I discovered Things around 2017 and have been its preferred task manager ever since. I’ve loved it ever since, even though I occasionally glance at Todoist, Ticktick, and Superlist. While other to-do list applications may boast numerous features, several aspects of Things set it apart, prompting me to return to it consistently.

Well, I even switched back to Apple devices from using Android and PC because of the value Things has brought into my life. Here are a few reasons why I keep returning to Things:

1. The Design

This is a masterpiece. It’s a marvelously designed application. They even market it that way, implying that the design is intended to be flawless and minimal, so that we can focus on what truly matters.

The User Interface

The app’s UI is so visually appealing that I can’t resist using it, especially since I’m a fan of minimalism and minimalist designs. It has a natural appeal, looking simple yet powerful, like imitating the accessibility of paper in a digital application.
