OCTOBER 2019 MACWORLD 93showing how close you are to completing
the day’s tasks. That’s nice, but I’d be
happier if Things replaced the logo with
the actual number of tasks remaining.- SHAZAM

Shazam tells you which song you’re
listening to when it’s able to hear a few
seconds of audio, and its complication lets
you turn it on within seconds.
Good thing, too, as I hate it when a
song ends by the time I find my Shazam - THINGS 3

Things 3 is the best to-do-list app across
the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and that quality
generally extends to its helpful
complication. The large version is the most
useful, as it’ll tell you the next tasks you
need to finish on your Today list, and then
you can tap on it to open the watch app
and mark the task as complete.
The smaller complication is more
abstract, as it merely has Things’
checkmark logo and an “activity ring”
“Do some stuff” is almost always a good idea.
