About The Project

When I went back to use Things3 on IOS and Mac I realized there is no cool way to send Tasks from my Windows Desktop. Opening the mails and sending tasks there is a lot of effort.

I wanted to quickly add Task to my Inbox. So here it is. Currently its not beautiful but it does its job.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2
  • Should already be installed by Windows Updates. If not here is a download link Net 4.7.2

Installation

Download the latest sendToThings_setup.zip under Releases and install it.

• With the default option (Autostart on login) checked, the setup will create an Autostart entry (you can disable it under the Windows Startup Apps)

You can also download the sendToThings_executable.zip under Releases and copy both files somewhere you like.

Usage

1. Start the application and/or place it in the autostart.
2. Follow the Settings steps below when using the application for the first time

Settings

Right click the Taskbar Icon and open the Settings

1. Enter your Things3 personal mail (you can find it in the Thing3 app under Settings->ThingsCloud)
2. Enter credentails for a SMTP Server to send the mail

SMTP Server (Google)

Currently Im using a Google Mail for the SMTP server, to use this you need to enable lesssecureapps in the Google settings

SMTP Server & Port: smtp.gmail.com 587
