Things - View Inbox

#!/bin/bash

# Show tasks in your Inbox in Things
#
# by Max Clayton Clowes ([email protected])
#
# Shows tasks in your Inbox. Find/replace "Inbox" with a list of your choice - e.g "Today"
# 60 second refresh might be too slow. Tweak to your liking.
# Only shows 20 todos - too many stops todos from being completed
