Things 3.9 is the culmination of months of work, with broad refactorings, architectural changes, and optimizations. These changes are all under the hood. In addition, we’ve made the following minor user-facing changes:

• The app is significantly faster to launch, and also when opening a to-do, or tapping + to create a new to-do.
• The layout of collapsed to-dos is improved, particularly for smaller iPhones, so that more of the title is visible.
• Usability of the popover for setting dates has been improved to provide more clarity, especially when also setting reminders.
• Made return key behavior in checklists consistent with the Mac.
• Minor improvements for non-Gregorian calendars.
