There's a reason tags exist, and the fact that Apple still hasn't added this functionality is pretty shameful. Are you really going to go back through hundreds of previous tasks and edit the "tags" you added into your reminders? Not likely. This is an OK hack, but it's sucks down the road if you decide you'd like to rename a tag. This means you have to manually add tags by typing into the notes section or somewhere else. That's fine for GTD but terrible for organizing projects into their own lists. Rather, it seems that Apple assumes that you're going to have a number of fixed lists, or contexts, that won't really change. In this way, Reminders doesn't seem like it's designed with projects in mind. Finished with a project? No problem, there's a handy archive button. How insane is that?Ĭompare this to Things, which understands that the historical record matters to people. What's even more ridiculous is that deleting a project/list deletes all the reminders inside of it, including completed reminders. The completed reminders will still exist in the void without a list for context, right? Wrong. OK, fine, let's assume I'm willing to delete a project/list once it's finished. If you use Reminders, you essentially have to let old projects/lists pile up forever, or else you have to delete them completely. If you choose to use Reminders lists as projects, when you're finished there's no way to archive them. Many disadvantages to the new Reminders (as of iOS 13) vs. Sometimes it takes a while for items to sync between devices. If I remember correctly the reason why they have their own cloud is because it’s really fast and that’s one thing reminders is lacking. I wish Things just removes their account system and do what goodtask does and just pull all reminders data so Siri would feel native. Sure you can enable reminder import to Things but you have go to the inbox and manually import them so it’s not automatic. Being able to quickly add things on the go is a great option. What I miss the most with the reminders app is Siri. Things has great url scheme support so automations have been really good with the shortcuts app, with iOS 13 this will be even better. Full control of the whole app with a keyboard (this is a must for me after using things on Mac and iPad). What I like about Things is the project overview you get, headings, instant search so you can quickly jump to any list, project, tag, heading etc. iOS 13 reminders is looking really nice and I will definitely try it out when it’s released. There are somethings I miss from reminders (melancholy has a great list). I’ve been using Things since v3 and love it. Reminders have deeper ties with the Shortcuts app with automations too.Reminders have natural language when you write a task.Although you can flag items and prioritize items too by 3 levels. Reminders may not have tags, but you can always add #tag and look for them via search.System-wide drag-and-drop is infinitely better than Things, you can group lists fast, you can turn tasks into subtasks fast, etc.Things will likely charge you for an outrageous price per device type for Things 4, if that ever happens (hopefully it doesn’t turn subscription-based).Better integration with the operating system, ecosystem, and Siri (Apple Watch, CarPlay, etc).Subtasks on Things is just a simple checklist, in Reminders they have the same capabilities as regular tasks, meaning they can have previews, alerts, and other details this means you can turn a regular task as a ‘Things Project’ and have that task repeat.Reminders have customizable colors and glyphs.Reminders can alert you if you contact somebody.Reminders can alert you if you leave/arrive a location, or if you are getting in/out of your car.Reminders can be tied to apps via Siri and the share sheet.Reminders can show rich thumbnail previews of attached images, contacts, and webpages within the list notes and alert times are displayed too.Reminders is better than Things in some things, such as. You can group lists in Reminders now groups are your ‘Areas’, and lists are your ‘Projects’.You can make your own ‘Inbox’ list and attach it with its own glpyh, this is more customizable than Things.some of Things’ lists aren’t entirely smart lists like Apple’s 4 smart lists. More robust too.īy the way, some of what you said can be fixed in Reminders, these aren’t necessarily workarounds.
