Who each one suits
Brisqi
- Personal kanban boards kept on a desktop computer
- People who prefer a one-time license to a subscription
- Working where internet access is restricted or missing
- Solo developers, freelancers, researchers and students
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
Worth knowing
Brisqi
- The free version stops at 2 boards, 5 lists per board and 5 labels.
- One-time licenses include 1 year of updates. The activated version keeps working after that, but later updates need a renewal.
- Cloud sync and the iOS and Android apps need the Standard plan at $80 per user / year; the one-time licenses cover offline desktop use only.
- It is built for individual use: the vendor says it is not designed to replace team tools with real-time collaboration, permissions and reporting.
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.
Key features
Brisqi
- Boards, lists and cards
- Boards are sorted into groups, and each card can hold a Markdown description, subtasks, comments, labels, a due date, a color and links to other cards.
- Calendar and upcoming tasks panel
- A monthly calendar shows cards by due date, and the upcoming tasks panel color-codes them by how close the deadline is.
- Search, filters and list focus
- Global search finds cards across boards, filters narrow a board by label or due date, and List Focus Mode dims every list except the one being worked on.
- Offline local storage
- The desktop app stores data on the computer and needs no internet connection or account. The vendor says it has no in-app monitoring or usage analytics.
- Backups, CSV export and printing
- Boards can be backed up to a folder of the user's choice, including one synced by Dropbox or Google Drive, and exported to CSV. Lists and cards can be printed.
- Encrypted sync and mobile apps
- The Standard subscription adds cloud sync that encrypts data on the device before it is uploaded, along with the iOS and Android apps.
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.
