Compare · Naya vs Things

Naya vs
Things.

The short answer

Things is a beautifully made task manager for when you know the next action. Naya is for everything before that — the unfinished thought, the dropped thread, the context you would lose by forcing it into a task. Choose Things to track clear to-dos; choose Naya when the work is not yet a task.

FAQ

Things,
answered.

Is Naya a to-do app?

No. It deliberately avoids the backlog-and-checkbox model. It orients you to what matters now and preserves the thread.

Can Naya replace Things?

If your struggle is continuity rather than task tracking, often yes. Some people use Things for tasks and Naya for everything that is not one yet.

Does Naya have due dates and reminders?

Naya resurfaces by context and timing rather than shouting on a clock — gentle reminders at the right time, not a deadline engine.
