Focus has most of what you can ask for in a task / project manager and then some.
A single developer managed to pull off what took Things — with a team of Developers years, and has more to offer in my opinion.

All and all, Focus is a power user’s dream, yet it can be as simple as you want to be if you just want to manage your daily tasks or lists. Highly recommend you give it a try.

The planning view makes it easy to plan out the coming weeks in a view showing you your upcoming tasks in a month, week or day view.
