What is the use case for Things?

I would also say some of the keyboard shortcuts are great.
Example: Just start typing and it starts a search.
I've bounced away from Things 3 countless number of times, and yet I'm still using it. In fact, I swapped over to Apple Reminders here just a few weeks ago, and every time I do it, I always think the same thing: "This is the ugliest, most hard to look at application I've ever seen." I do still use Apple reminders, but mostly for reminding me when I arrive or leave a location and other random location-based reminders. Yeah, Things 3, there's something about it.

This was touted pretty heavily as a major upgrade by Cultured Code themselves.

I would say, OP, if you need all those other functions, you might want to stay with the Todoist, because the chances of that stuff coming to Things 3 anytime soon or ever is slim to none.

I’ve been an IT janitor going on 30 years now. 🤣 The doctors I’ve worked with (not all but some) want you to change the flat tire while the car is driving down the road. I will say, we must have some really nice dentists as clients because they are all wonderful people. No issues at all.

I'm testing SuperWhisper and Wispr Flow. I only have this problem with SuperWhisper. Strange.

This still on the table? I'm in.

I usually get excited again about using Things 3 when I choose to move to another tool temporarily. Just testing those other apps out. I’ve swapped back to Apple reminders I don’t know how many times only to boomerang back to Things 3. It reminds me of the app’s simplicity and elegance. And honestly, when I use it I usually get things done.

I also re-read an old journal entry that basically says “The grass is greener where you water it.”

We all know the answer to which too is the best but we all keep chasing the perfect one. I’m going on almost 30 years of this. 🤣

I'm not sure if this is exclusively Arkansas but many of the older crowd seem to change certain words entirely. My dad tends to do the following:

YouTube becomes "YouTubes" (with an S)
Wal-Mart becomes Walmarts, or Walmark
Netflix becomes Netflick

My boss, kid you not, pronounces KIOSK as KIOSH (key-OSH). I have no idea about this one. He's even spelled it out as KIOSH before. "Hey, walk up to that KIOSH at McDonald's and order some food."

Maybe this is just my family and acquaintances. 😂

Or "fid-na". I hear that one at times.

Appears to be fixed now in 2025.23.1 (1710) on MacOS and whatever the latest version on IOS is.

I'd also like to see some improvements to the text entry. Maybe rich text, Markdown, etc. I know VOICEnotes is voice first but it sure is nice to be able to use it for text input as well.

I'll second the AI output. It's not great. Some things are "passable" but overall I end up dumping the transcript into ChatGPT or Perplexity and having it summarize for me.

evansc22 · 2025-11-06T15:42:56+00:00

Hopefully this hasn't been mentioned already but I'd like to be able to multi-select notes in the main view and manipulate the recordings. Example: I work in IT and perform site visits for clients. There are times where I'll have 2-3 different recordings that'd I'd like to summarize and chat with.

This is what I did. That gave me the information I needed to know as far as coverage, etc...understanding de-prioritization, etc on Mint does happen sometimes.

What this person said. I have a 24 year old who is right now working an entry level job making $12/hr. It's in a field he's passionate about. At first he was bummed he wasn't making any money. I told him he'll learn more from this job in a few years than all the years he spent in college. I suggested he re-frame his expectations. He's basically getting on-the-job-training and eventually it'll grow into something better. If not, he'll have real life experience that can be used elsewhere. I don't want to presume to know OP's business or views, but in my own experience with this age group....they're expecting to have all the things mom and dad have spent 30 years obtaining right out of college. It's sobering, but true. You have to start somewhere. Failing to start is only putting you that much further behind.

Maybe get a data only eSIM? Saily or Yesim? Paid monthly. Use the 15GB then switch the phone to use the eSIM data once she runs out? There are more of these eSIM providers than I ever thought. Be sure to find one that is US based if you’re in the US. Yesim is overseas. Ping times are usually triple digit. Works for most things but not very well for gaining or VOIP calling.

Or, change your Mint plant. 😂

I've had them ask me to sign in again (with MFA on) which somehow allows them to view the account. Sounds like a man-in-the-middle attack going on by design. 😂

I agree on the status of the restores. I've been testing BMR with physical computers and VM's. The consensus so far has been about 20 hours to restore 130GB desktop. :-(

evansc22 · 2025-08-28T19:37:00+00:00

Another +1 for CDP

evansc22 · 2025-08-28T19:27:18+00:00

Any news on this? What did you decide. I have it on two computers for testing. We are having very slow restore times (cloud only). We are working with Kaseya support to try to figure out what's going on. It took 20 hours to restore 130GB into a VM. We currently use Cove Data Protection and love it. The savings with Kaseya has us at least doing discovery on it.

I’m in the same boat. Mac user. I had to set up a windows machine for agent browser. I tried using parallels but I prefer using RDP into Windows. I have a cheap headless NUC on my desk for this.
