I recently switched from Todoist to Things 3. I really liked Todoist – it worked great on every platform I used it on, and I liked the karma feature. However, I kept forgetting the deadlines of specific tasks, and this meant that I never knew when I had to hand it in. This is where Things 3 comes in – it allows me to set both a date I want to do the task, and a deadline. This means that the task can show up in my tasks list a few days before it’s due in, and will only turn red on the day I need to hand it in – this means I never lose track of a due date anymore. Cultured Code also introduced an advanced URL scheme that I’ve been using.

I’ve had my home screen set up as it is for quite a while on my phone, and this post will tell you about the apps on the home screen.
