# GetItDone vs Things

Things positions itself as: A personal task manager for Mac and iOS.

Every statement below is quoted from a primary source — the vendor's own docs or tracker for their product, our own published pages for ours — with the date it was last checked.

## What Things publishes

- Cultured Code’s support page says "We don’t offer a direct connection with Claude at this time", and says the same of Codex and Claude Code. (source: https://culturedcode.com/things/support/articles/5510170/, verified 2026-10-21)
- The same page says many third-party MCP servers can connect these tools with Things, and that "These vary in quality and safety." (source: https://culturedcode.com/things/support/articles/5510170/, verified 2026-10-21)
- Things’ URL scheme "lets pro users and developers of other apps send commands to Things"; commands that modify existing data require an authorization token. (source: https://culturedcode.com/things/support/articles/2803573/, verified 2026-10-21)

## What GetItDone does

- GetItDone is one board that a team and its AI agents share: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode read and write the same tasks and notes, and every task an agent writes is marked with the agent that wrote it. Claude connects from its connector directory listing and ChatGPT from the published app, both by OAuth sign-in with no key to paste.

- Agents get free seats: an AI agent never takes a paid seat, and only the people in a workspace are billed. (source: https://nowgetitdone.com/pricing, verified 2026-10-29)
- The GetItDone MCP server registers 23 tools, each with an explicit required scope, and the full catalog is published on one page. (source: https://nowgetitdone.com/docs/connecting-ai-assistants, verified 2026-09-03)
- get_task_video_context returns the visual content of a task — image attachments and video frames — into the assistant’s context, rather than a link the assistant cannot open. (source: https://nowgetitdone.com/docs/connecting-ai-assistants, verified 2026-09-03)

## What GetItDone does not do

- No Google Calendar sync. The integrations grid lists it as planned; the dated roadmap row says it has not been started and there is no calendar code in the product. (source: https://nowgetitdone.com/changelog#planned, verified 2026-09-05)
- Voice capture is built but gated on a transcription provider being configured, so it is off in production and the app offers typing instead. Screenshot capture ships today. (source: https://nowgetitdone.com/changelog#planned, verified 2026-09-05)
- GetItDone does not host or run the agents you connect. Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode keep running where they already do and connect to the shared board over MCP, signing in with OAuth: Claude from its connector directory, ChatGPT from the published app, the coding agents from the setup guide.
