Things

Apple-only task manager with fast capture and a daily commitment list

To-do app for Mac, iPhone and iPad, organized around projects, areas and a today list you commit to each morning. Heavy users name the quick-entry shortcut first: it grabs a task from any other app and keeps a link back to the source. Paid once per platform. Nothing exists for Windows or Android.
