URL Recipes

Trigger Slash from anywhere with the slash:// URL scheme.

slash://toast

Show a toast

Pops a small glass notification in the corner of your screen (position and duration are configurable in Settings → General → Toast) and dismisses itself automatically — or click the × to close it early. The obvious use: a build finished, a deploy went out, a long job wrapped up.

message
The text to show. payload works as an alias.
style
positive (green), negative (red), or info (blue, default). type works as an alias.
Shell
Reusable helper
~/.zshrc
Git commit hook
~/.zshrc
slash://tasks

Add a task

Creates a task and brings the Tasks panel forward, same as pressing its hotkey — so you see it land in the list immediately.

add
The task text. text or title work as aliases.
priority
low, medium, or high. Optional — omit for no priority.
Shell
From a script variable
slash://timer

Start a timer

Starts a named timer immediately and shows the floating mini-bar plus the full Timers panel. Only one timer runs at a time — starting a new one replaces whatever was running.

name
Label shown on the timer. title works as an alias. Defaults to "Timer".
minutes
Duration in minutes. seconds also accepted (and takes priority if both are given). Defaults to 5 minutes.
Shell
Pomodoro alias
~/.zshrc
slash://reminders

Add a reminder

Creates a reminder due at a specific time and brings the Reminders panel forward. Reminders always carry a due date — if you don't set one, it defaults to one hour from now, matching the in-app quick-add.

add
The reminder text. text or title work as aliases.
in
Minutes from now until it's due. Defaults to 60.
due
An exact ISO 8601 date/time instead of in. Takes priority if both are given.
