Update: We’ve reviewed Things 1.0 since. Check it out here » 

Cultured Code has kept their star app Things in a public beta state for a while now. The getting things done application has stolen many a heart, doing the thing it does best. The team has been slowly culturing their code, and we’re finally approaching the final release date, 6th Jan, Macworld 09. 

With just 7 days to go, Cultured Code has also pushed out the Release Candidate for Things 1.0. This is a feature complete version that includes a whole lot of changes including some slick new icons, increased flexibility with moving around items, rearrangement and change of functionality in Areas and Projects, and a whole lot of bug fixes. 

We’ll be doing a full review of Things, including the let’s-not-forget iPhone version, so stay tuned for more updates on that. Things costs $50 for a single user license, but using the coupon code “THINGSPRESALE20″ will get you a 20% discount through January 15. In the meantime you can go ahead and download the release candidate to check it out for yourself.
