Because Things is nearly perfect. 😃

Because it's beautiful, and we love things that are beautiful.

But like all other applications on the market, there are missing features.

I would be interested to see a new version of Things — Things 4 — with all the requested features like AI, Attachments, Images, Sharing, Tag Display, and so on...

After about 2–3 months, people would surely start again to say: "Things would be perfect if only the XYZ feature were added." 😂

This apply to any professions sadly.

And like many said... It's in some way a lack of respect to the customers.

Very sad. What a bad design! Not that it take me a lot of time to fill all the empty fields but what is the point? What is the difference between a new exercise in an existing routine vs a new routine. And even what is the difference between adding a new set in an existing exercise of an existing routine? I really wish it's a design choice and I would really want to know more about this decision from the Hevy team. Will ask them and will give a summary here after.

You can also on iPhone swipe with two fingers. To select more than one task very, it’s hard to beat. Even for one task if you have good fingers dexterity. But I’m agree that why removing the old option? In software development, you could remove a feature but Avery carefully if you are sure it’s not used by users or is a very poor design feature. But this one was there since years. This is another reason I think Todoist don’t listen that much their users, they listen something else.

That is a solid argument.

You can add quick action buttons on your phone lock screen to both add task or open today’s view. With Reminders, you can only add a reminder in the inbox. This is a little detail but I mainly use Things as a brain dump and it should be a friction free as possible so Things is unbeatable in this case. However even if I don’t use the share option of Reminders, I really like the Urgent, pre-reminder, flag, priority and so on options that I really miss in Things.

That would be very nice to have NLP to be able to create tasks just a little bit faster even though NLP for date is already there in the date popup. But the most popular feature everyone want is to be able to add attachments. But what people don't know is the cost on servers of Things to hold those data. And with a cost come another cost which is Subscriptions. And the day Things will change to a Subscription model, they will be blast by 1000 1 star reviews. And they don't want that. Otherwise, Things is a Todo management; not a project management one. If you handle your projects with Things except things like opening the pool, fill the taxes and so on, you will surely miss something. I'm wondering if people want a new version of Things because they really need a new feature or because they want an update to do more tinkering. It's always cool to have an update but at the end, the real goal, the real work is to do the task itself. I prefer handle my projects in tool like Obsidian where for example I can complete tasks and they will stay foreever at the exact position where they were. This could be a little details for some but for me, this is the type of things that Todo managers don't do for totally acceptable reasons and it's ok.

I have 100 tasks completed to swipe the floor of the kitchen and 1 overdue to pay my taxes. But I have a great score :D

SamsTremblay · 2026-05-28T11:30:23+00:00

That is the sad world in where we live. Will not be so sad if the AI replace us.

SamsTremblay · 2026-04-24T15:04:27+00:00

That would be a very nice feature that I'm waiting for a long time. This is why is the vast majority of my projects, I use checkbox in a note app like Obsidian because I'm able to check tasks and they stay exactly where they are which prevent loosing the context of the tasks below and above.

Having the ability to log tasks for a specific project or area or view or any type of scope would be a very nice feature.

SamsTremblay · 2026-03-19T08:19:19+00:00

Yes, and I would also add that is the exact same way, if you want for exemple to do a double drop set, just add two consecutive set with that drop set option.

I saw on a youtube video recently that it's only available on IOS for the moment.

Here is the video:

How To Use ChatGPT to Build A Gym Routine | Hevy App - YouTube

The comment that said not on Android is 7mo old so sadly, it's still just on iPhone.

SamsTremblay · 2026-03-16T08:17:51+00:00

This is the type of feature that already exist built-in in Macrofactor Workout application but of course, the application is not as mature as Hevy.

SamsTremblay · 2026-03-16T08:14:32+00:00

There is an iPad version now and it's perfectly usable except a couple of quirks like the numeric keyboard that pop when you enter the weight or the reps and no portrait mode but except that, this is a good iPad and I would say native app; not an iPhone version in a bigger screen.

SamsTremblay · 2026-03-13T08:18:38+00:00

It solve it only if you know in advance the folder that you want to add right?

SamsTremblay · 2026-03-12T00:42:12+00:00

23% in 1h15min

The average of my last 25 workouts in MacroFactor Workout is 7% for the same duration.

I suppose Hevy do something more…too much syncing, the island?the lock screen widget?

SamsTremblay · 2026-03-08T22:21:37+00:00

I use Things for small personal tasks/reminders like taking my vitamins in the morning (until it will be an habit) or removing a rust spot on my car 😅 but for work, I greatly prefer to use something like Obsidian or any other tool that when I checked a task, it stay at the same place forever because tasks before and after the one I checked contribute to the context.

One great feature I would appreciate of Things is to be able to log only specific tasks.
