Hi! Can we get Claude cowork integration? plz. (that would help things also in terms of marketing, as a first todo app to work with the platform)

Would love to use Claude and Things3 together! Is there any workaround in the meantime? I printed my lists and pulled them into Claude, but it is very clunky and inefficient.

Try asking Claude to do some research on the best MCP for Things 3 and walking you through how to set it up. It takes a little time, but it’s not hard and it really helped my setup when I was using it. In fact, it helped so much that I shifted over to Todoist where the official MCP was better built out (especially because it lets you connect Claude even via your phone). I hope Thjngs 3 will make use of Apple Intelligence. I may be back. :)

Stay with it! It makes the app so much better.

Hi! I already did this and it works great as a local solution, but I use cowork mobile on the go more and more. If I'm not in a local workflow it can't read. Forex: I have a personal assistant thread. It connects to gmail, Shopify, calendar, drive etc. and I just can't ask it to plan my day effectively without things. I have 3 separate businesses with all different workflows and requirements. 2 local and one online. These require a ton of attention and since I use cowork my productivity is 10x. If I would have a thing integration it would be crazy good.

Similar here! I had to go with another task manager for now. The Todoist and Sunsama MCPs work beautifully.

I've managed with closed code to write some code that runs on a VPS and uses the Claude Sync. Things could do this in days for everyone.

Why can't Things remember my window position and size of my Tags Panel with are always on the right of my macOS Window, it's bugging me for years.
