Things 3.23 update now available with major repeating to-do improvements

Things 3.23 update is now available, offering major improvements to repeating to-dos. The update addresses two common scenarios: finishing a task ahead of schedule and adjusting its date when plans change. With Things 3.23, users can now add ordinary checkboxes to repeating to-dos, marking one as complete before its scheduled date, and generating the next iteration according to the existing recurrence rule.

Rescheduling a repeating to-do now works similarly to regular to-dos, with options depending on the recurrence configuration. Moving a task on a fixed schedule allows for either "Make Exception" or "Update Rule" choices. For instance, shifting a weekly task from Monday to Tuesday can either make the current week an exception or adjust the entire series to occur on Tuesdays.

Additionally, Things 3.23 enhances the discoverability and management of recurring items. Searching for "Repeating" presents a dedicated list of repeating to-dos and projects, alongside the generated copies. Other refinements include a "Create Next Copy" command for starting ahead of schedule, greyed-out repeat icons to identify generated copies, and a refreshed setup dialog featuring an improved date picker. Users can also pause, resume, or stop multiple repeating to-dos simultaneously.

Under the hood, Cultured Code states that the display and editing of to-dos now utilize the same codebase across Mac and iOS platforms. Things 3.23 is a free update, available for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro via the App Store. The update requires macOS 13.3, iOS or iPadOS 16.4, watchOS 9.1, or visionOS 26.
