Lunatask vs Super Productivity

Lunatask

• Keeping tasks, habits, mood and a journal in one private app
• People with ADHD, whom the vendor says the app was designed for
• Students and teachers, who can request a 50% discount

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

Lunatask

• The Free plan stops at 2 areas of life, 7 daily habits and 30 relationships, and calendar integrations and weekly habits need Premium.
• There is no web app and no official browser extension; saving web pages relies on a bookmarklet or community-built extensions.
• Task metadata such as status, priority and dates is stored unencrypted, and the API cannot read end-to-end encrypted content.
• Premium has no free trial and a no-refund policy. The lifetime purchase is not sold in the mobile apps, and discount coupons do not work in the Mac App Store version.

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.

Lunatask

Task lists that prioritize themselves

Tasks are prioritized automatically, with a work-in-progress limit, timers and time estimates. The Eisenhower Matrix and Must/Should/Want workflows need Premium.

Daily calendar and time blocking

Planned tasks and habits can be dragged onto a daily calendar to block time. Connecting Google, Outlook or iCloud calendars to see events alongside is a Premium feature.

Habit tracker

Habits have customizable recurrence, current and record streaks and reminder notifications. Free covers 7 daily habits; weekly habits need Premium.

Mood tracking and journal

A mood and emotion tracker sits alongside a journal with a customizable entry template and PIN protection. Energy and stress trackers are Premium.

Notes and relationships

Notes and notebooks support Markdown, sharing and PIN protection. A personal CRM keeps details about friends and family with reminders to get back in touch.

End-to-end encryption and API

Text is encrypted on your device before it syncs, and encryption is always on. A public API and Zapier can create and update items but cannot read encrypted data.

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.
