But this does allow me to replicate the way I was using Things, with some added advantages I didn’t even know I was missing. I should stress that I do not claim that this system fully replaces the functionality of Things, which remains a good piece of software.

I began thinking about alternatives to Things, though, when I got an iPod Touch, and then an iPad, and joined the legions of Cultured Code followers waiting longingly for cloud synchronization (which is now apparently coming soon).

It syncs across multiple computers (both PC and Mac) and multiple smartphones.Ĭ. I started looking for the neat features of Evernote, then decided I disliked their interface and didn't use the features, so dropped down to Notational Velocity/SimpleNote, then realized that I wrote Markdown everywhere and wanted to see that on iOS so moved to nvAlt/Dropbox/SimpleNote.ī.
