Yes, you can list today's tasks and search the Things 3 inbox via CLI. The Skill provides read-only access to the local Things database, enabling you to surface inbox items, upcoming tasks, projects, areas, and tags directly from the macOS command line.

Do I need macOS to run things3-cli commands for task automation?▼

How does the Things URL scheme handle adding and updating todos?▼

Are there limitations when using CLI to modify the local Things database?▼
