About:
Things Helper is a background utility that enables Things for Mac to interact with files and data from other applications in macOS Catalina and later. It resolves sandboxing restrictions by providing secure, authorized access to your to-do data across the system. This helper ensures seamless integration and automation capabilities for the Things app.
Key Features:
  • Enables cross-app data access for Things
  • Resolves macOS sandboxing restrictions
  • Runs as a lightweight background process
  • Maintains secure, authorized system access
Use Cases:
  • Automating task creation from other Mac applications
  • Sharing data between Things and other productivity tools
  • Maintaining app functionality after macOS security updates
Alternatives:
  • Things URL Scheme – Native URL scheme provides basic automation but lacks deep system integration
  • AppleScript – Built-in macOS automation with broader app support but less optimized for Things-specific workflows
