Things is a task management app for macOS, iPadOS, iOS, watchOS, and visionOS made by Cultured Code, a software startup based in Stuttgart, Germany.
[11] Things has also received two MacStories Selects Awards, winning Best App Update of 2018[12] and Best New Feature of 2023.
It was developed to replace the app's original sync technology, which only worked over a local network.
The company began alpha testing the new service in 2011 and, after an extended beta period, launched it publicly on 9 August 2012 with the release of Things 2.
The main benefit of the new push technology is that it utilizes APNs to deliver sync to iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS devices when the app isn't actively running.
