Sync Things Tasks
Bridge thinking (Obsidian) and doing (Things 3) using the things CLI.
Core Concepts
- Thinking vs. Doing: Use Obsidian for drafting ideas and planning. Use Things 3 for actionable todos with dates/deadlines.
- CLI-First: Use the
thingscommand to add tasks without leaving the chat. - Contextual Tasks: When summarizing notes, proactively identify action items and offer to send them to Things.
Auth Token
The CLI requires an auth token for update operations. The user should have THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN set in their shell profile.
Common Workflows
Adding Tasks from Notes
# Add to Today with Obsidian link
things add "Follow up with [Name]" --notes "Context: [Note Title](obsidian://open?vault=MyVault&file=Path%2FTo%2FNote)" --when todayProject Task Extraction
When working on project notes, extract action items:
things add "Draft initial spec" --list "Project Name" --notes "Reference: [Project](obsidian://open?vault=MyVault&file=...)"Reviewing Tasks
things today # What's on today
things areas # Existing Areas
things projects # Existing Projects
things show "Area Name" # Contents of Area
things tasks --project "Project Name" # Tasks in project
things search "query" # Search for existing tasksIntegration Principles
- Discovery First: Use
things areasandthings projectsbefore creating new containers - Obsidian URIs: Include clickable Obsidian links in Things notes:
[Note](obsidian://open?vault=MyVault&file=URL_ENCODED_PATH) - Dry Run First: Use
things --dry-run add "..."for complex tasks - Things as Truth: Things is the source of truth for "doing"; don't necessarily update Obsidian when tasks complete
