I’ve been using Things 3 for iOS for some months now and generally get along with it well. It’s not as complex or as fully-featured as OmniFocus can be or as difficult for me to use as Todoist, but…
Or I was using it until I saw a summary of how far Apple’s own Reminders has come since the last time I tried to use it.
Apple’s Reminders app has seven power user features worth your attention (9to5mac.com).
After finding a script to export everything1 from Things into Reminders I’ve spent time over the last day re-adding dates, times and repeats.
And I’m happy to say Reminders now does everything I want from it.
And I can share the responsibility of bringing reminded about things with the rest of my family now. Apart from my wife, who resolutely fails to consider Apple devices as usable.
Heck, it even seems to me to share feature parity and ease of use with OmniFocus from iOS 6. This is a good thing.
- I was wrong, I’d missed a couple of quite significant lists. Anyway, unlike the regular share that exports all a list’s entries into a single task, the script at least shares complete entries to other apps. ↩
