August 21, 2026
Requires macOS 13.3 or later

• Added support for completing a repeating to-do early: it now shows a normal checkbox, just like any other to-do.
• Added support for rescheduling a repeating to-do – just bump it to a new date:
  • If it repeats on a fixed schedule, Things asks whether to make a one-time exception, or update the rule going forward.
  • If it repeats after completion, it simply moves to the new date.
• Made a number of other refinements to repeating to-dos:
  • Refreshed the look of the setup dialog, which now makes it easier to pick the next recurrence date.
  • Added a small gray repeat icon to a copy of a repeating to-do, to distinguish it from a regular one.
  • Added support for starting a repeating project early: as soon as you edit its to-dos, Things offers to create the next copy of the project ahead of time.
  • Added support for creating the next copy of a repeating to-do ahead of time: right-click the to-do and choose Repeat → Create Next Copy.
  • Added support for pausing, resuming, and stopping multiple repeating to-dos at once.
• Unified the display and editing of to-dos – both in lists and when expanded – so Mac and iOS now share the same code.
• The deadline in an expanded to-do is now a button with a menu instead of a regular field.
• The When dialog now shows “No Results” for searches with no match.
• Added haptic feedback from the Trackpad when completing a to-do or checklist item. …
