Cultured Code today released Things 3.23, featuring a significant update to the app's handling of repeating to-dos, addressing two of the most requested changes from users. Until now, repeating to-dos in Things lacked some of the flexibility of standard to-dos and today's update closes that gap along with a handful of valuable smaller refinements throughout the app.

The latest update's changes include complete repeating tasks early, allowing them to be finished ahead of schedule with the next copy scheduled based on the existing rule. Rescheduling a fixed-schedule repeating to-do now prompts a choice between "Make Exception," which moves only that instance, and "Update Rule," which changes the recurrence pattern going forward. To-dos that repeat after completion simply move to the new date when rescheduled, with no prompt.

Users can now select "Repeat" then "Create Next Copy" to get a head start on a to-do or project. Generated copies feature a small grey repeat icon, and the setup dialog has been visually refreshed. Multiple repeating to-dos can now be paused, resumed, or stopped at once. The display and editing of to-dos is now driven by the same code across Mac, iPadOS, and iOS.

Things 3.23 is available now as a free update on the App Store for the Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Vision Pro. The update requires macOS 13.3, iOS and iPadOS 16.4, watchOS 9.1, and visionOS 26, or newer.
