thinx

Thinx is a Things 3-compatible todo app for the Terminal, running on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Getting Started

go install github.com/pkwagner/thinx/cmd/thinx@latest

Alternatively, binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows are available on the releases page. Just double-click under Windows, or install on Linux or macOS with:

install -Dm755 <path_to_downloaded_binary> ~/.local/bin/thinx

Run with thinx from your Terminal afterwards. Make sure that your PATH includes either ~/go/bin/ (first method) or ~/.local/bin/ (second method).

Related Projects

To the best of my knowledge, thinx is the first Things Cloud-compatible TUI. However, there are many other cool projects out there, some of which are:

Name	Description
things-cloud-sdk	SDK and CLI for Things Cloud, which also powers thinx. Fork of nicolai86/things-cloud-sdk. No TUI.
things3-cloud	Another SDK and CLI variant for Things Cloud written in Rust. No TUI.
things-cloud-mcp	MCP server, also using things-cloud-sdk. No TUI.
things-tui	TUI for Things 3 written in Python. No Things Cloud support, it instead uses the local Things database and therefore only runs on macOS.
things-cli	Another CLI for Things 3 written in Go. No Things Cloud support either, local database and therefore macOS only.
