Things2Org

The (eventual) aim of this software is to provide bidirectional sync of Things.app and org-mode files.

To do this, it makes use of Things Cloud.

Install

bundle # installs the Ruby gems

Running it

Fetch your data

You will need to make your history_key available for this.

history_key="[...]" ./fetch_all_history.fish

This will generate a bunch of items.*.json files with all your data.

Print your inbox

./make_inbox.rb > inbox.org

This will print your Things inbox as an org mode file.

List your extra files

./list_extra_files.rb

The assumption of this software is that each area and each project will be contained in its own file. This script prints the file structure of these areas and projects.

The names of the areas and projects will be normalized, so “My Project” will become “my-project.org”.

Make your extra files

./make_extra_file.rb my-project.org > my-project.org

This will print the contents of the project named “My Project” and store it in my-project.org.
