Use this for Things 3 tasks on macOS. Prefer `things` for Things-backed todos; use `reminders` only when the user asks for Apple Reminders.
## Tool
- CLI: `things`
- Repo: https://github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli
## Install
```bash
pip install things3
# or
brew install things3-cli
```
## Common Commands
```bash
# List today's tasks
things today
# List all tasks
things list
# List inbox
things inbox
# List by area
things areas
things list --area "Work"
# Search
things search "search term"
# Add task
things add "Task title"
things add "Task title" --notes "Notes here" --area "Work" --deadline "2025-12-31"
# Complete task
things complete <task-id>
# Show task details
things show <task-id>
```
## Notes
- Things 3 must be installed and running on macOS for CLI to work.
- The CLI communicates with Things 3 via URL scheme or AppleScript.
- Task IDs are UUID format.
- Deadlines use ISO date format: `YYYY-MM-DD`.
