## Why Windows users pick Done Bear

### Looking for Things 3 for Windows?

There’s no Things 3 for Windows. Done Bear is a native Windows app with the same views, and 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 keeps working if the connection drops. The app needs a connection to start. 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 (with the Watch app), iPad, and Vision Pro, 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. Things 3 has no export command and no Windows client, 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, and it reads a copy of the Things database directly.

### Does Done Bear have a native Windows app or just a website?

Yes. Done Bear installs as a desktop app. It needs a connection to start, then keeps a copy of your tasks, so it carries on if the connection drops 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, once it has started. The Free plan covers 250 active tasks and two teams. The Windows app needs a connection to open, then keeps a copy of your tasks, so you can capture, edit, and complete when the connection drops. To open the list with no connection at all, use the web app in a browser where it has loaded before. Changes sync when you reconnect.
