Things 0.9 adds recurring tasks

Published on 16^th March 2008 in Productivity, Software, tagged Getting Things Done, Things.

Getting Things Done application Things has been updated to version 0.9, with recurring tasks now implemented. The Mac software, which is in beta testing, is designed to help you manage your everyday tasks. I’ve written about it before and along with iCal, use it to keep track of everything I need to do.

As well as other enhancements, Things now allows you to make every task a recurring one. The development team at Cultured Code have done a remarkably good interface design job and almost any repeating pattern can be used. Note the clever addition of the next predicted dates, which makes visualising complex sequences extremely easy.

Recurring tasks are then stored in the Scheduled section, where they are split into segments for daily, weekly, monthly and other patterns. From here you can reschedule tasks or pause them, which is a nice touch.

There are many Getting Things Done applications on the Mac, but Things stands out above the rest because of its outstanding user interface design. Its clean lines, simplicity and logical layout are on par with anything that Apple produce themselves, and when it’s finally released it’ll be well worth the $49 asking price.
