URL Scheme
Create and open Done Bear tasks from Shortcuts and other apps with the donebear URL scheme.
Use the donebear URL scheme from Shortcuts, bookmarklets, and other apps on the same iPhone. This is an automation scheme, like Things' things:///add. It is separate from the https links that already open a workspace, task, or settings screen.
The scheme is handled by the iOS app and needs no token or setup. As in Things, any app or web page that opens an add URL creates a task. No URL can read, change, or delete existing tasks.
Add a task
donebear:///add?title=Buy%20milk&when=todaydonebear://add?... (host form) is accepted too.
