I am wanting to create a list of items in with Objective-C like the list of tasks in Things… like this:

Each item could have buttons associated with it, text, whatever. NSTableView was my first thought, but seems I can customize it as much as I am needing. Perhaps each row would be a custom NSView and I manage the positioning of each item in the list manually? Thanks for any help.
Both
NSTableViewandNSCollectionViewallow custom cells/views — in fact, they’re required for the latter. I’d personally useNSTableViewfor something similar to what you’ve depicted.You could also use third party classes like PXListView, whose source code is open and licenced under the new BSD licence. Or, as mentioned by David Barry, the Chameleon Project.
