Why Windows users pick Done Bear
Looking for Things 3 for Windows?
There's no Things 3 for Windows. This page is the app; the comparison post has Cultured Code's device list, the import command, and which alternative fits.
Keep the GTD workflow on a PC
The same five views, no filters to build. Your system follows you from Apple devices to your PC.
Local-first on Windows
Tasks are stored on the machine, so every view opens instantly and works offline. Sync runs in the background.
Who should stay on Things or OmniFocus
If you only use Apple devices, stay with Things 3 or OmniFocus. Done Bear is for people whose task system also runs on a PC.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Things 3 app for Windows?
No. Cultured Code ships Things 3 for Apple devices only: Mac, iPhone, and iPad, with no Windows installer and no browser version to fall back on. Done Bear is a native Windows app built around the same five GTD views, Inbox through Someday, so the workflow survives the move even when the app cannot.
Can I keep using a Things task list on a PC?
Not with Things itself. Cultured Code offers an export and no Windows client to open it in, so the list stops at the Mac. That leaves three options: keep a Mac within reach, retype the work into whatever Windows app you already have, or move to one that uses the same structure. Done Bear is the third.
Does Done Bear have a native Windows app or just a website?
Yes. Done Bear installs as a desktop app, stores tasks locally, works offline, and syncs changes to your other devices.
Can I move Things tasks to a Windows PC?
Run `donebear import things` on the Mac where Things is installed. It migrates areas, projects, and tasks, which then sync to Windows.
What is the best GTD task manager for Windows?
Done Bear, if you want Things' Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime, and Someday without rebuilding them as filters. Todoist suits a configurable system, Microsoft To Do simpler lists, and Things 3 an all-Apple setup.
Is there a free Windows task manager that works offline?
Yes. The Free plan covers 250 active tasks and two teams. The Windows app stores tasks locally, so you capture, edit, and complete without a connection. Changes sync when you reconnect, shared workspaces included.
