Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

thingscli

CLI for Things 3 — read tasks from the database, write via URL scheme.

Designed for AI agents and automation. All read commands output JSON. macOS only.

Install

npm install -g @howells/thingscli

Usage

Read

thingscli today          # Tasks on Today list
thingscli inbox          # Inbox tasks
thingscli upcoming       # Scheduled tasks
thingscli anytime        # Anytime (no date, started)
thingscli someday        # Someday tasks
thingscli projects       # All projects
thingscli logbook        # Completed tasks
thingscli search "query" # Search by title or notes
thingscli tag "work"     # Tasks with tag
thingscli tags           # List all tags
thingscli stats          # Task statistics

Write

Write commands require an auth token. Get yours from Things → Settings → General → Enable Things URLs.

export THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN="your-token"

thingscli add "Fix the bug" --when today
thingscli add "Review PR" --when tomorrow --deadline 2026-04-25 --tags work --list MyProject
thingscli complete <uuid>
thingscli update <uuid> --when tomorrow --add-tags urgent

Options

--when <date>          today, tomorrow, evening, someday, or YYYY-MM-DD
--deadline <date>      Deadline date
--tags <t1,t2>         Comma-separated tags
--list <project>       Project name
--notes <text>         Notes
--checklist <a,b,c>    Checklist items
--token <token>        Auth token (or use THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN env var)

How it works

Reads query the Things 3 SQLite database directly — fast, structured, no GUI dependency.

Writes use the Things URL scheme with auth token — reliable, returns task IDs via x-callback-url.
