There’s no Things 3
for Windows. There’s this.
Things 3 is Apple-only — Cultured Code has never shipped a Windows version, and isn’t going to. If you switched to (or work on) Windows and miss that calm, focused design, Lume is the closest thing: the same aesthetic in a fast web app, with an AI assistant built in.
You can’t run Things on Windows — but you can run Lume
Lume isn’t a Windows installer; it’s a web app that runs in any browser on Windows (and installs as a PWA). The design and feel are deliberately Things-like.
Same structure you know. Today, Upcoming, Anytime, Someday; projects and areas; quick entry and a keyboard-first flow. If you came from Things, it’s familiar from the first task.
Runs where you do. Open it in Edge, Chrome, or Firefox on Windows, or install it as a desktop app. Your list syncs to Mac and iPhone too, so a mixed setup just works.
Plus the AI Things never got. A built-in assistant manages your list, an MCP server connects it to Claude and Cursor, and you can assign tasks to AI agents that do the work.
Lume vs. Things 3 on Windows
Things 3 for Windows — FAQ
Is there a Things 3 for Windows?+
No. Things 3 is made by Cultured Code exclusively for Apple platforms — macOS, iPhone, and iPad. There is no official Windows app and no announced plans for one.
What’s the closest Things 3 alternative on Windows?+
Lume. It shares the calm, minimal, keyboard-first design of Things and runs in any browser on Windows (and installs as a desktop PWA), with the same Today/Upcoming/Anytime/Someday structure — plus an AI assistant.
Is Lume a native Windows app?+
Lume’s Windows experience is its web app, which runs in your browser and can be installed to the desktop. The native apps are on Mac and iPhone; everything stays in sync.
Does Lume do things Things 3 can’t?+
Yes — a built-in AI assistant, a first-party MCP server, and the ability to assign tasks to Claude Code and Codex. Things has none of these.
