How we grade them
| 3.0GPASnaptickVery good | 3.8GPASuper ProductivityExcellent | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AFree, ad-free and open source under the GPL-3.0 license, with no paid version. The developer takes donations through Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee and PayPal. That's it for money. | AFree on every platform under the MIT license, with no premium tier and no trial. There's simply nothing to buy. Development runs on optional donations through GitHub Sponsors. |
| Free plan and trial | AThe whole app is free and needs no registration. Timed tasks, the pomodoro timer, the calendar view, the widget and backups are all in, because there's no paid tier to hold them for. | AEvery feature on every platform is free, with no account needed. There's no paid plan, so there are no limits to bump into. Download it and you have the lot. |
| Features | BTasks with start and end times, up to 4 reminders each, repeats, a calendar view, a pomodoro timer that keeps counting after you close the app, and a screen that works out your free time around sleep. Good for one day at a time. But there's no account or cloud sync, only backup and restore. | ATasks with subtasks, tags, projects and repeats, shown as lists, a Kanban board or an Eisenhower Matrix. Starting a task tracks time against it, and that becomes time sheets. Add Pomodoro and Flowtime sessions, a day planner beside your calendar, and issue imports from Jira, GitHub and GitLab. |
| Ease of use | BOpen it and add a task, with no sign-up. The fiddly part is getting it: the README offers an APK from GitHub Releases or the IzzyOnDroid repository, not a Google Play link. There's no rating on record either, so a B. | BNo account, and your data sits on your device from the first minute. But syncing two devices means connecting Dropbox, WebDAV or SuperSync yourself, and SuperSync is labeled beta. There's no rating on record to go by, so a B. |
| Platforms and integrations | DAndroid only, version 8.0 or later. There's no iOS, desktop or web version, and no integrations listed. It can mirror tasks to a calendar on the device and import events from an .ics file, and that's as far as it reaches. | AWindows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android and the web, with links to Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Trello, Google Calendar and Dropbox. One catch: the web app is more limited, as calendar integration and WebDAV sync are likely to fail in a browser. |

Who each one suits
Snaptick

- Planning a day as timed tasks and working through them with a pomodoro timer
- People who prefer open-source apps installed from outside Google Play

Worth knowing
Snaptick
- Android only, version 8.0 or later; there is no iOS, desktop or web version.
- The README offers downloads from GitHub Releases and IzzyOnDroid only; the changelog records the Google Play link being removed in version 3.1.
- The README and release notes describe no account or cloud sync between devices; task data is moved with the backup and restore feature.
- The in-app update checker contacts GitHub, which the IzzyOnDroid listing flags as a dependency on a non-free network service.
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
Snaptick
- Timed and all-day tasks
- Tasks are created with a start and end time or as all-day items, given a priority, and sorted by options such as priority. Tasks that run past midnight are supported.
- Pomodoro timer
- A pomodoro timer runs for one task at a time as a foreground service, so it keeps counting after the app is closed and stops when its task is completed or deleted.
- Reminders and repeating tasks
- Each task can carry up to 4 reminders with custom offsets, and repeating tasks send a notification on the days they recur. A reminder notification can start a pomodoro.
- Calendar view, sync and ICS import
- A calendar view shows tasks by date and lets you create and edit them there. Tasks can be mirrored to a calendar on the device, and events can be imported from an .ics file.
- Free-time analysis
- A free-time screen works out the time left in the day around the tasks you have scheduled and a sleep time that you set.
- Widget, backup and themes
- A home-screen widget lists today's incomplete tasks and completes one with a tap. Task data can be backed up and restored offline, and themes cover light, dark, AMOLED and dynamic colors.
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.
