Things

I’m one of those people (prepare to roll your eyes) who likes to switch themes depending on what I’m doing. And I have 3 current favorites: Sanctum, which has already been nominated, Minimal, which has already won, and Things.
As the dev acknowledges, Things is based on Minimal (it even picked up my font preferences from the Minimal Theme Settings plugin) with some charming tweaks and refinements.
Things thoughtfully ghosts back markdown characters like ** in edit mode so they don’t compete with the words they’re formatting (most themes and even some otherwise polished native apps like iA Writer actually make ** bold with the word), and restores the word count to the mobile app. Another sleek addition on mobile is the relocation of the edit/preview toggle to a button that floats just above the right-hand side of the keyboard for easy reach.
But the most noticeable difference is the use of well-chosen colors for the headings and emphases. While Minimal’s monochromatic palette is ideal for writing prose, Things excels for to-do lists, project planning, and informational notes. It also retains Minimal’s compact headers, which maximize use of screen space, especially on smaller devices.
Be sure to give Things a try if you haven’t done so already.
