--- name: things-mac description: Manage Things 3 via the `things` CLI on macOS (add/update projects+todos via URL scheme; read/search/list from the local Things database). Use when a user asks OpenClaw to add a task to Things, list inbox/today/upcoming, search tasks, or inspect projects/areas/tags. homepage: https://github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "✅", "os": ["darwin"], "requires": { "bins": ["things"] }, "install": [ { "id": "go", "kind": "go", "module": "github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli/cmd/things@latest", "bins": ["things"], "label": "Install things3-cli (go)", }, ], }, } --- # Things 3 CLI Use `things` to read your local Things database (inbox/today/search/projects/areas/tags) and to add/update todos via the Things URL scheme. Setup - Install (recommended, Apple Silicon): `GOBIN=/opt/homebrew/bin go install github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli/cmd/things@latest` - If DB reads fail: grant **Full Disk Access** to the calling app (Terminal for manual runs; `OpenClaw.app` for gateway runs). - Optional: set `THINGSDB` (or pass `--db`) to point at your `ThingsData-*` folder. - Optional: set `THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN` to avoid passing `--auth-token` for update ops. Read-only (DB) - `things inbox --limit 50` - `things today` - `things upcoming` - `things search "query"` - `things projects` / `things areas` / `things tags` Write (URL scheme) - Prefer safe preview: `things --dry-run add "Title"` - Add: `things add "Title" --notes "..." --when today --deadline 2026-01-02` - Bring Things to front: `things --foreground add "Title"` Examples: add a todo - Basic: `things add "Buy milk"` - With notes: `things add "Buy milk" --notes "2% + bananas"` - Into a project/area: `things add "Book flights" --list "Travel"` - Into a project heading: `things add "Pack charger" --list "Travel" --heading "Before"` - With tags: `things add "Call dentist" --tags "health,phone"` - Checklist: `things add "Trip prep" --checklist-item "Passport" --checklist-item "Tickets"` - From STDIN (multi-line => title + notes): - `cat <<'EOF' | things add -` - `Title line` - `Notes line 1` - `Notes line 2` - `EOF` Examples: modify a todo (needs auth token) - First: get the ID (UUID column): `things search "milk" --limit 5` - Auth: set `THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN` or pass `--auth-token <TOKEN>` - Title: `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> "New title"` - Notes replace: `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --notes "New notes"` - Notes append/prepend: `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --append-notes "..."` / `--prepend-notes "..."` - Move lists: `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --list "Travel" --heading "Before"` - Tags replace/add: `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --tags "a,b"` / `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --add-tags "a,b"` - Complete/cancel (soft-delete-ish): `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --completed` / `--canceled` - Safe preview: `things --dry-run update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --completed` Delete a todo? - Not supported by `things3-cli` right now (no “delete/move-to-trash” write command; `things trash` is read-only listing). - Options: use Things UI to delete/trash, or mark as `--completed` / `--canceled` via `things update`. Notes - macOS-only. - `--dry-run` prints the URL and does not open Things.
