Things Updated for iPhone Duo With Adaptive Layout
Cultured Code has updated its task management app Things with support for the iPhone Duo, introducing an adaptive layout, a sidebar, and multi-window support ahead of the device's launch on Friday.
The app's interface adjusts to the iPhone Duo's different configurations, including when it is closed, fully open, or partially folded like a book. The layout also supports both portrait and landscape orientations.
Opening the device reveals a sidebar for switching between lists, which is a first for Things on the iPhone. Users can also open two Things windows side by side and drag and drop items between them to organize their tasks.
Controls sit in a vertical bar within reach of the user's thumb. This includes Things' Magic Plus button, which can be dragged to a specific position in a list to insert a new to-do there.
Connecting a keyboard enables the full set of Things' keyboard features, including a persistent selection, keyboard shortcuts, and Type Travel for quickly navigating between lists.
Things 3.25 is available now through the App Store.
