Things Quick Entry Firefox

Things Quick Entry

By: srikat
Send the current tab to Things 3 for Mac with pre-filled title and URL

Features & Capabilities

This extension fixes the common "Quick Entry with Autofill" issue in Firefox by using the official URL scheme to bypass privacy sandboxing reliably.

Features

  • One-Click Task Creation: Instantly capture the current tab's title as the task name and the URL as the note.
  • Customizable Shortcut: Access the feature quickly using Ctrl+T.
  • Full Control: Use the extension options to toggle between opening the Things Quick Entry dialog or saving tasks directly to your Inbox.
  • Smart Organization: Choose your target list (Inbox, Today, Anytime, etc.) for direct saves.
  • Selection Control: Decide if you want the app to select the newly created task upon entry.
  • Modern Architecture: Built on Manifest V3 for better performance, security, and long-term browser compatibility.

Why use this extension?

Firefox users often find that the native Things 3 autofill shortcut fails to grab the site title or link due to browser security restrictions. By utilizing the official things:///add protocol, this extension ensures that your task data is transferred accurately every time.

Note: This extension requires the Things 3 desktop application for macOS to be installed on your system.

This project is a Manifest V3 fork of the original "Send to Things" extension by Philipp Kewisch.

Is Things Quick Entry Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Things Quick Entry requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
