Things 3.23 Update Enhances Repeating To-Do Flexibility and Management
Key points
- Repeating to-dos can now be completed early.
- Rescheduling offers options to move current task or update recurrence rule.
- New search for "Repeating" lists all recurring items.
- Cross-platform code unification for display and editing.
Enhanced Repeating To-Do Management
Things 3.23 updates repeating to-dos with new functionality. Users can now mark a repeating task as complete before its scheduled date, and the application will generate the next instance based on the existing recurrence rule. This feature was a frequently requested improvement from users.
Flexible Rescheduling Options
Rescheduling repeating to-dos now provides more control. For tasks on a fixed schedule, users can choose to "Make Exception" to move only the current instance or "Update Rule" to change the schedule for all future instances. If a to-do repeats a set time after completion, it moves to the new date without additional options.
Improved Discovery and Workflow
The update also includes features to improve the management of recurring items. Searching for "Repeating" now displays a dedicated list of all repeating to-dos and projects. Other refinements include a "Create Next Copy" command, grey repeat icons for generated copies, and a redesigned setup dialog with an updated date picker. Users can also pause, resume, or stop multiple repeating to-dos simultaneously.
Technical Unification and Availability
Cultured Code states that the display and editing of to-dos now use the same underlying code across Mac and iOS versions. Things 3.23 is available as a free update on the App Store for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro, requiring macOS 13.3, iOS/iPadOS 16.4, watchOS 9.1, or visionOS 26. New customers can purchase Things separately for each platform.
