=================================================================================

Cultured Code has announced the release of Things 3.22, a major update optimized for iOS 26 and Apple's latest software enhancements. This version introduces a sleek visual overhaul, new interface features, and expanded multitasking support for iPadOS 26.

Visual Redesign for Liquid Glass

-------------------------------------

The update features a complete visual refresh inspired by Liquid Glass design principles. The app icon has been redesigned and is now available in four variants: Default, Dark, Tinted, and Clear. UI elements such as windows, to-do lists, dialogs, and controls boast redesigned curves with increased spacing, transparent areas like the sidebar, and dynamic, glass-like buttons that respond to touch by scaling and glowing. The signature Magic Plus button now exhibits fluid deformation when moved, providing a more engaging user experience.

Enhanced iPadOS 26 Support

------------------------------

Things 3.22 fully supports the new Windowed Apps mode on iPadOS 26, allowing users to open multiple windows efficiently. These can be launched via contextual menu options, such as right-clicking a list and selecting "Open in New Window," or through commands in the File menu. Users can now swipe down from the top of the screen to access a full system menu bar, with the app's menus updated to include more powerful controls and keyboard shortcuts.

Widget System Improvements

-----------------------------

Widgets have received visual updates, offering new appearance styles: Dark, Tinted, and the newly introduced Clear option. Additionally, widgets are now supported on the Vision Pro headset, where they can be freely placed within the immersive workspace, providing seamless integration across Apple’s ecosystem.

Quick Controls for Mac and Apple Watch

------------------------------------------

In this release, quick control options are available on both Mac and Apple Watch. On macOS, users can add two Control Center toggles—New To-Do and List (with custom destinations)—either to the Control Center panel or pinned to the menu bar for instant access. On Apple Watch, the New To-Do control enables task creation through swipe gestures, typing, or voice input, streamlining task management on the go.

Compatibility with Writing Tools & Shortcuts

-----------------------------------------------

For users of the Vision Pro, Things 3.22 supports Apple's Writing Tools framework, allowing effortless editing of task text with options to rewrite, summarize, proofread, or reformat. The update also enhances integration with Spotlight and Shortcuts, enabling users to create new to-dos directly from Spotlight searches by typing "Create To-Do" and pressing Return, which adds tasks to the Inbox even if the app isn't active.

Availability

---------------

Things 3.22 is now available for download and promises a more modern, fluid user experience across all supported devices, especially benefiting users with the latest hardware and software ecosystems.
