Quicksilver Plugins
This is my collection of plugins for Quicksilver[1]. The best "launcher" application for macOS.
Liquid Glass Bezel.qsplugin
A UI that takes inspiration from the default Bezel view, and then sticks some liquid glass in there. It swaps some of the built-in icons for SF Symbols, and allows you to use the color settings to tint icons and glass.

Liquid Bezel.qsplugin (Latest - 1.0.1) @ https
Features
- You can choose between regular or clear glass.
- Use it without tinting, which follows the system theme (works better with regular glass).
- Use it with tinting and customize text and background (I like it with clear glass).
- Some built-in icons are replaced with SF symbols that use the highlight and text color.

Coming Soon.

Things.qsplugin
A plugin that lets you interact with the Things 3 database.
Download
Things.qsplugin (Latest - 1.0.1) @ gemini
Things.qsplugin (Latest - 1.0.1) @ https
Features
- Browse app sections: Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Someday, and Anytime
- Browse areas, projects, tags, and tasks.
- Drill down to navigate and find related items.
- Mark tasks and projects as completed.
- Create new tasks.
Enabling edit and create
The task includes an action called "Set Things Authentication Key" that takes in text. This is required to use the Things 3 URL API to create or edit tasks and projects.
To do this, go to your Things Settings > General, then turn on "Enable Things URLs" and click on Manage to view the auth key. Copy it, then open quicksilver, press `.` to enter text mode, paste the key and search for "Set Things Authentication Key."
Your key is stored in the keychain.
Syntax to create tasks
The first line is interpreted as title. If you want to add notes, type >>. All the text after that, including newlines will be interpreted as markdown notes until it finds a "special line".
Special lines are:
- If the line starts with `#`, everything after that will be interpreted as a comma-separated list of tags until end of line.
- If the line starts with `@`, everything after that will be interpreted as a date until end of line. It supports natural language like "today", "tomorrow", "in 3 days" or "next tuesday" and dates in the format yyyy-mm-dd.
- If the line starts with `!`, everything after that will be interpreted as a deadline. Same rules as the date above.
All Versions
- 1.0.1 - Adds documentation
- 1.0.0 - Initial release
Social Bookmarks.qsplugin
A plugin that lets you interact with social bookmark pages like linkding or linkhut. I didn't create this plugin, but I did recently do a major refactor (version 3.0.0) to add support for linkding and self-hosted delicious/pinboard compatible tools.
Since this is an official plugin, I submitted a change request. The official plugin is hosted on github.

Social Bookmarks.qsplugin (Latest - 3.0.0) @ https
Features
- Use your self-hosted linkding account.
- Browse your links and your tags.
Adding your own instance.
This requires a custom catalog. Go to quicksilver settings > catalog > custom. Then click on the plus sign and select Social Bookmarks. Press the i or Command + I to open the side pane: this will let you choose your provider.
For the specifics on what to put on each field, check with your own app. For example, pinboard requires the auth token to be in `username:token` format, while linkhut and linkding only require the token.
For linkding use the root of your self-hosted instance. For delicious/pinboard compatible use everything before the `/v1` in the API.
Your tokens are stored in the keychain. You can add several instances.
My Versions
- 3.0.0 - Refactored to improve keychain storage, support for linkding and linkhut.
Flat Bezel.qsplugin
A UI that looks like the classic Bezel but has been updated for the flat look of the flat pre-tahoe versions of macOS. It also replaces some of the built-in icons with SF Symbols, for that extra mac look.
