Blitzit vs Super Productivity

Blitzit

• People who want a timer running against each task on their list
• Freelancers and students tracking how long tasks really take
• Mac and Windows users who like an always-visible floating timer

Super Productivity

• Developers who plan their day from Jira, GitHub or GitLab issues
• Freelancers who need time sheets from the tasks they tracked
• People who want a free app that keeps data on their own device

Blitzit

• There is no free plan: after the 7-day trial a Monthly or Annual plan is required.
• The stable desktop app is for macOS 12.3 or later and Windows 10 and 11. Linux and web versions exist only in the 3.0 beta.
• Blitzit 3.0 uses a new database, so lists and tasks from version 2.x have to be migrated, and changes do not sync back.
• The Blitzy assistant and Sessions Tracking are labeled beta, and PDF export of reports is marked coming soon.

Super Productivity

• The web app is more limited than the desktop app: calendar integration and WebDAV sync are likely to fail in a browser because of CORS.
• SuperSync is labeled beta, and the project's wiki suggests Nextcloud, WebDAV or Dropbox for production use until it is stable.
• Fetching issues and sending work logs needs a network connection, and a failed issue update is not retried automatically.
• The project is maintained by volunteers and funded by donations; help comes from the community on GitHub and Reddit.

Blitzit

Blitz mode and floating timer

Blitz mode starts a focus session on the Today column: the top task gets a live timer while the rest wait below, and the list can collapse into a floating countdown.

Time estimates and tracking

Each task takes an estimate of how long it should take, and the app records done time and overtime so the two can be compared.

Pomodoro timer

A Pomodoro mode splits work into sprints and breaks of fixed lengths that you set, such as 60 minutes of work and a 15-minute break.

Scheduling and recurring tasks

Tasks can be scheduled once or on a repeating basis, with alerts when a scheduled task comes due and a choice to do it now or later.

Reports

Productivity, time-spent and sessions reports show where time went by list and how closely time estimates matched what tasks actually took.

Blitzy AI assistant and MCP

Blitzy, labeled beta, turns typed or spoken thoughts into tasks, notes, subtasks and schedules. An MCP server lets ChatGPT and Claude create and find tasks.

Super Productivity

Tasks, projects and boards

Tasks take subtasks, notes, tags, projects and repeat rules, and can be viewed as lists, on a Kanban board, in an Eisenhower Matrix or on boards you build yourself.

Time tracking and time sheets

Starting a task tracks time against it. Tracked time can be turned into time sheets and work summaries for export to a company's time-tracking system.

Focus mode and break reminders

Focus mode offers Pomodoro, Flowtime and countdown sessions, and a break reminder tells you when it is time to step away.

Planner and schedule

The planner lays the day out on a schedule timeline next to calendar events, which come in through Google Calendar or any CalDAV calendar.

Issue tracker imports

Issues assigned to you can be imported from Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and other trackers, with time tracked per issue and work logs sent back.

Local data and optional sync

Data is stored on the device and no account is needed. Devices can sync through Dropbox, WebDAV or SuperSync, the project's end-to-end encrypted service that can be self-hosted.
