The short answer

Choose Things for an exceptional Apple-native personal task system with areas, projects, and deep platform integration. Choose Uredan for browser and installable-web access, recurrence, and a more explicit multi-day planning surface.

Uredan

A day-first planner with rolling days, weekly Backlogs, an optional manual Timeline, and a full personal task library.

Uredan combines a continuous day planner and Braindump with Lists, labels, due dates and times, recurrence, timezone-aware reminders with opt-in background browser notifications, checklists, private attachments, saved views, import, and offline-first capture.

Things

A personal task manager designed specifically for the Apple ecosystem.

Things is a polished personal task manager organized around Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime, Someday, areas, and projects. Uredan uses fewer organizational layers and works through the web across desktop and mobile.

Fit over feature count

Choose the tradeoff you actually want.

Choose Things when

Apple users who want refined native apps, project organization, recurrence, tags, deadlines, and strong system integrations.

Carefully designed native Mac, iPhone, iPad, Watch, and Vision experiences.
Clear Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime, and Someday lists with areas and projects.
Repeating to-dos, deadlines, tags, checklists, calendar display, and Apple automation.

Consider: Things has no browser, Windows, Android, or Linux app, and each Apple platform is purchased separately.

Choose Uredan when

A smaller, directly controlled daily plan is the point.

Responsive browser access makes the same planner available beyond Apple hardware.
Visible nearby day columns make cross-day movement more spatial and direct.
Smart views, recurrence, reminders, and rollover support the wider personal task loop.

Consider: Uredan remains single-user and web-first, with no external calendar integration, automatic schedule rebuilding, team projects, native apps, timers or actual-time tracking, voice capture, or general AI chat.

If you switch

Move the active plan, not the entire archive.

Uredan is intentionally smaller, so migration works best when old structure is treated as reference rather than recreated field by field.

1
Map Things Inbox and Someday items to Braindump.
2
Move Today and the next several Upcoming days into equivalent Uredan columns.
3
Flatten only the active project tasks you intend to execute; preserve project reference material elsewhere.
