Cultured Code Release Notes

February 21, 2018
Requires macOS 10.11 or later

This release introduced the Things URL Scheme, which enabled three new features:

• LINKING TO THINGS: Things now supports a special kind of link (or URL) that starts with “things:”. These links can be used to quickly jump to a to-do or list in Things from other apps.
• POWERFUL AUTOMATION: Things’ links can also be used to execute a broad range of powerful commands from outside of the app – to create to-dos, show tag filters, perform searches, and so on.
• HANDOVER FROM OTHER APPS: Other apps can now easily send data into Things. Other developers wanting to export data to Things can easily do so with our open source Swift library.
• This release also enabled diacritic-insensitive search.
