Overview

Integrate with Things 3 on macOS via the `things` CLI to read from the local Things database (inbox/today/upcoming/search/projects/areas/tags) and to add/update todos using the Things URL scheme.

Key Advantages

1.Direct, low-latency access to the local Things 3 database for reading inbox/today/upcoming/search/projects/areas/tags.
2.Supports adding and updating tasks, including notes, deadlines, tags, projects, areas, and checklists via the Things URL scheme.
3.Read operations do not require authentication, and write operations are guarded by an auth token for safer updates.
4.Provides safe `--dry-run` mode for previewing URL-based write operations, reducing risk of unintended changes.
5.Operates entirely on the local machine (no external network calls), which improves privacy and responsiveness.

Use Cases

  • Add a new task to Things when the user asks to remember or schedule something (including notes, tags, deadlines, or project placement).
  • List the user’s inbox, Today, or Upcoming tasks when they ask for a quick overview of their current workload.
  • Search the user’s tasks by keyword to locate specific todos, projects, or references inside Things.
  • Inspect or summarize projects, areas, and tags when the user wants structural or organizational information from their Things setup.
  • Update existing tasks (title, notes, tags, list/heading, completion/cancellation) after the user requests changes to previously created items.

**Quick judgment**: This is a strong macOS-only integration for Things 3 power users. It is well-suited for automating capture and review (inbox/today/upcoming/search) and for updating tasks, but it depends on correct local setup (CLI install, Full Disk Access, optional auth token) and currently cannot delete tasks. **Recommended scenarios** - Users explicitly say they use Things 3 on a Mac and want Clawdbot to add tasks, list Today/Upcoming/Inbox, or search their tasks. - Automating routine capture from natural language into structured Things tasks (with notes, deadlines, tags, and project/area/heading placement). - Reviewing or summarizing current workload by querying inbox/today/upcoming or specific projects/areas/tags. - Modifying existing tasks (e.g., marking as completed/canceled, changing notes or tags) when an auth token is configured. **Key risks and limitations** - **Platform constraint**: Works only on macOS with Things 3 and the `things3-cli` installed; will silently fail or be unusable on other platforms. - **Permissions/config risk**: DB reads require Full Disk Access for the calling app, and write operations require a valid auth token; misconfiguration will cause operations to fail. - **No hard delete**: The CLI currently cannot delete or trash tasks; the closest available actions are marking tasks as completed or canceled. - **Dependency on external CLI**: Breakage or changes in `things3-cli` behavior or Things database structure could reduce reliability until updated.
