Info updated on:

Things is essentially a meticulously organized to-do list, offering a busy person a chance to categorize their tasks in about every way they could ever want.
A list on the left sorts your tasks by what you have to do today, what tasks are next, scheduled tasks, things you plan on doing someday, and lastly, projects. In these categories you define your task by a name and then have the options of setting tags, adding notes, and, certainly, setting the date this task must be completed by. When you've finished a task, you can just check it and send it off to your logbook where you can keep track of all your completed tasks. If you want to remove a task completely, you just drag it to the trash tab.

All in all, it is a fantastic program and one I thought could be worth investing in - until I saw the price. Things is useful, it has great potential and I can't find anything particularly wrong with it, but as far as I can see, it can hardly be considered revolutionary. And I can imagine for some people Things may be worth $50 in exchange of a deeply orderly to-do list. But for me, and I suspect some other people, a simpler and cheaper to-do list organizer works as well.
