Things is a to-do list app for macOS and iOS.

This script converts Things logbook into a Markdown file. Simply clone/download the code, install the requirements, and run the code.

pip3 install -r requirements
python3 things2md.py

You can view the output file in any Markdown editor. You can keep a copy of your completed tasks and projects in a plain-text format, and connect your tasks with notes using Obsidian or other note-taking apps. It is good practice for keeping track of what you have done while writing your daily/weekly or study notes.

To-dos are sorted by completed dates, and grouped by projects or areas if they exist. Tags and notes are also included.

This script currently does not support auto-updates. You have to run the code to refresh the Markdown file.

However, you can easily set up automation using crontab, Keyboard Maestro, or any other automation tools.

• This script uses a powerful Python library things.py.
• Inspired by Obsidian Things Logbook plugin.
