Things 3 for iPad, the popular task manager app, has gained cursor support on iPadOS 13.4 or later.

Meet the all-new Things! A complete rethinking of the original, award-winning task manager – with a perfect balance between simplicity and power, incredible new features, delightful interactions, and a timeless new design.



What's New In This Version:
This version of Things brings full support for the iPad’s new mouse cursor! Connect a mouse or trackpad in your iPad’s settings, then open Things—you can click around and control the app, just like you would on your Mac. (You can also connect a keyboard, of course!)

WHAT’S NEW
• The entire interface responds to your cursor.
Your cursor will now highlight clickable interface elements, and hop to buttons or checkboxes as you move your mouse near them.

• Context menus everywhere.
You can now right-click everything: to-dos, projects, areas, and lists in the sidebar. This will bring up context menus with powerful actions.

• Swipe gestures.
Swipe right on a to-do or project to schedule it, or left to enter multi-select mode. You can also swipe left within a checklist to delete rows.

• Open a new window.
In the sidebar, right-click a list and choose Open in New Window to quickly enter Split View (close it again with Cmd+W).

• Special clicks.
To select a to-do without opening it, hold down Cmd when you click it. Click in an open space to deselect it again. If you like to cancel a to-do, hold down Option when you click its checkbox.

(Please note that the above features require iPadOS 13.4 and compatible hardware.)

MORE IMPROVEMENTS
We’ve also fixed a few general issues in this release:
• Made it easier to tap the checkbox of expanded to-dos.
• Fixed some issues with Things’ toolbar being visually obscured by other on-screen elements, such as the keyboard’s shortcuts bar.
• Fixed an issue where the Shift key could become “stuck” (this fix requires iPadOS 13.4 or later).
• Fixed an issue where completed to-dos could be resurrected when marking a project incomplete via keyboard shortcut.
• Fixed some animation glitches during the onboarding sequence.
• Fixed a typo in the German translation.

You can purchase Things 3 for iPad from the App Store for $19.99.
